    Yep, same here. Have I slagged the club off tonight btw? I only replied to @Prehab26. You’re foaming over nothing

    You know if we lose 1 nil tonight with a almost identical performance I wouldn't be bothered. To have had the lead and left with nothing is a kick in the balls

    That’s it, was a right sickener. Feel we dropped deeper second half and allowed them more time and space. First half we were superb. Frustrating

    I'd like to see him given a chance. Not being funny but he couldn't offer much less attacking wise and seems to be up for tracking back. He's made good use of the ball so far.

    Just watched the second goal back, school boy defending.

    fail to clear our lines, fluke pass out wide, let rothwell cut inside and Patterson comes out like a headless chicken, awful.

    Did our cost about 20 million in fees and Gnonto alone cost near 30? As I’ve said before, the parachute payments are not parachute payments. They’re advantage payments. I agree with some but that’s a joke. Look what Sheffield ‘surviving the drop’ Utd spent. If it was based on smart operation we’d be top.

    We wouldn’t be complaining about them if we go up and come straight back down, which would be massively likely. It’s just the way it is

    We saw two Premier League teams tonight, the best two teams in this division, both with the quality to stay up if they get promoted.

    Leeds will win the league we will win the play off final

    Been reading on here all season that Leeds (and about three other sides) are light years ahead of us and we can’t possibly hope to compete.
    Then we have the nerve to lose to a last minute goal at their place and the same people are saying it’s not good enough(?)

    Both sides would need serious investment to have a chance of PL survival.

    And yet people are saying the lines of Jobe, Rigg, Dan Neil, Isidor and Mundle to name a few are premier league class. Some have already sold on the first 3 names

    If Mundle/Watson is fit for Saturday and the rest of the season we need to be
    Neil. Jobe
    Mayenda. La Fee. Mundle
    Isidor

    We'll go close to top 2

    But come the summer if we don’t go up we’ll basically have that same advantage if we sell Jobe and Rigg. £50-60m incoming and we’ll be able to reinvest massively. That’s the goal and it’s a worst case scenario that if we are in the champ next season we will undoubtedly start it a stronger team imo.

    Notice how there’s not a word about how lucky they were. Nothing. Just how they always keep going. Sliced shot falls to the best crosser of the ball in the team.

    Very proud of them. Superb tonight

    They might have had loads of possession but didn't really trouble us all game and scored 2 scrapy goals Luton would have been proud of,shame we couldn't hang on but onto the next one.

    Totally agree. Don't care who disagrees with me. Leeds did not deserve that win tonight.

    Find two who are better than Jobe and Rigg who are willing to play in the championship is not a given.

    “All fart and no ****e” is a term that comes to mind! Without a silly concession of a free kick(needs less from Paddy) and patto flapping at thin air, we win that, and, imo, deserve to!
