    He wasn't guaranteed to miss the penalty as you said though. The **** are you talking about

    Le Fée offered himself up for the first pen ...

    ... I fully expected him to take it.

    Que sera, Derby must be sh*tting themselves watching that game.

    Things is, he wanted to take the second one. That takes some balls after the first

    Ya not like. At best ya talking if and buts with the benefit of hindsight!

    Like I said before who is Neil given the ball to? Who is he putting under pressure?

    Manager usually says who taken it before the match anyway so would take Isidor to say he didn't fancy it and he isn't the type imo!

    i do agree. I think the plan was that would be Connolly.

    that said, Burnley don’t have one either. And neither do Sheffield Utd. Do Leeds?

    Yeah was thinking the same mate.
    We'll kick on big time towards the end of the season.
    Real promotion contenders and improving.
    We're going up.

    7 points from last 3 including 4 against promotion rivals

    Isidor won us the two games before that makes a mistake tonight by taking two pens but has been a big player for us and played pretty well tonight

    And some of the comments are absolutely disgusting

    that’s my whack with posting like I’ve had enough it’s a disgrace whenever we don’t win

    And? They all practise them in training mate, he’s a professional footballer kicking a dead ball at a goal from 12 yards out.. he’s asking who could he give the responsibility to, he could’ve taken it himself as captain.

    I just focus on us. That's what we lack. I don't want a winger who can play up front. We need a proper finisher.

    I could see him taking a good one, he's cool enough and seems to strike it well. Aouchiche as well I reckon he'd be fine. Beyond that though, someone suggested O'Nien and it's actually a reasonable shout which suggests there's room for improvement.

    I said I would have done the mind games as well but can't take it off him if he's confident - that would ruin him more than the miss, his teammates and coaches not trusting

    Isidor actually played well tonight but as a striker you can't miss the chances he did tonight. He has to put behind him and move on

    He will get great backing against Derby by our fans

    Oh do **** off! If Isidor decided to take the second penalty, it's Neil's fault that he didn't stop him? FFS!!
