    Good Morning Everyone,

    I suppose it was fitting the two lower to mid table sides with a reputation of leaking goals should finish 1-1.

    Looking at the stats, they were pretty even, Leeds had slightly more possession, and shots, Fulham had more shots at goal, and one more corner than us.

    After the game, the Managers said :

    Leeds United boss Steve Evans:

    "If [Lewis Cooke's] goal was scored in the Premier League then it would get shown for the next five years. I don't think I have seen a better goal scored. I've just seen a stunning goal from a stunning young player.

    "We were unfortunate not to win but we need to improve in terms of scoring goals."

    Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic:

    "It's good news for us because we showed a different face and a different performance as what we showed last Tuesday night against Blackburn.

    "We created many [chances], they scored a fantastic goal too. In the end, in my opinion, I believe we played better football than Leeds and we were closer to win the three points.

    "At the end, Leeds was fighting very well and put us under some kind of pressure. They are fighting and deserve this point too."



    It was probably fair to say if Leeds had Wood playing, we would have won, but also that Fulham showed more talent when going forward. That's not hard to se when they have the likes of McCormack and Dembele up front

    Seems young Lewie Coyle did not really put a foot wrong. He is just going to get stronger and stronger.

    Morning all, getting fed-up hearing Evans..

    "Unfortunate" Hard done by" "decisions went against us" "should have won" x10

    By all accounts I read or heard, we were edging towards fortunate and if it wasn't for a wonder goal we would have had nil points.

    Boot on the other foot... Evans would have said "we were the better team and if it wasn't for a one in a million chance going in...."

    He starts to win me over with how his influence on certain players starts to show through then he gives an interview...

    Morning.

    Not going to pretend I got anything regarding Parkin because I haven't unfortunately.

    Still as it was, likely something will happen in the Summer but other factors feed into that.

    Parkin introduced Cellino to my old man, no he won't be investing any of my inheritance <laugh>

    I did however get news of a big announcement coming in the next few days.

    Not related to Parkin though

    (Think Evans said as much on the radio though)

    <doh> They started declining when I stopped going. On cellinos figures of 25000 to break even we are now losing circa £200k a week. Near enough £1 mill a month, exactly the same as we were when he "rescued us".

    Wasn't that Bates' break even figure? I'm pretty sure he mentioned 25,000.

    Must be a lower break even figure now than it was then

    If it is 25,000, and basing on last nights attendance of 17,000, thats 8,000 less than break even over 23 home games = 184,000 less fans over the season. At a max average of £35 per ticket, thats a total of just over 6 million for the year or half a million a month.Is that near enough a million? And of course the average for the season is not 17,0000. I don't know what it is but imagine its well over 20K. and only 6 home games left
