I'm fed up of seeing Keown everytime I go onto the BBC championship web site so I've complained to them.
It was their manager who got sent off so I'm assuming they will get fined. But it is obviously our fault for playing Bolton and being called Leeds. You're probably right another 200k fine
What I would rather happen is these are converted to goals:I get that goal difference is a concern, but what would you rather happen? Go gung-ho at 2-1 in the hope of scoring more goals and concede a sucker-punch equaliser on the counter? No thanks - I'd rather manage the game effectively, which we did today and have done virtually all season. Points are what get you promoted, not goal difference.
It is so tight this year that it may come down to goal difference in the end - but it won't matter if we don't get the points on the board in the first place. Win first, and worry about everything after.
We're still in the driving seat as it stands - chill out and have a beer
STRIKER Patrick Bamford admitted he should have scored a hat-trick in Saturday's 2-1 triumph at home to Bolton Wanderers but that Leeds United had matters "under control."
We need to win the next 2,if we do WBA will be almost out of it.
Hopefully qpr and wba have keepers as useless as the Bolton lad today
He always came off his line,saved about 3 doing this and cost them one.
Suppose as always with keepers it’s the mistakes that get remembered
Dare I ask who the eighth team who they beat was.
If you suffer with a dodgy ticker or a nervous disposition watching Leeds United is not a great option of late
We have the majority of possession, create & miss trillions of chances, score a rare penalty, gift another goal from a set-piece, score a fluke/keeper error, then when you hope we remain calm in the last ten minutes we resort to giving the ball away & inviting unnecessary pressure on ourselves only to concede a corner in the 96th minute against a bunch of giants, thankfully our very own giant Pontus headed away the final clearance of the match. 90 minutes of nerve racking football.
Three points required in the bag.........relief
Positives
We continue to play some lovely football
We're given another penalty
We score a fluke
Pablo Hernandez
Casilla's important save
Three points
Negatives
So many missed chances
Poor crosses
Failed to keep a clean sheet yet again (another goal conceded from a corner)
Missed out on a great opportunity to improve our goal average
Silly free-kicks given just outside our box
Going into panic mode in the last ten minutes
Funny moment

I'm not sure I'm understanding but... the last team they beat, in the league, was Ipswich on boxing day.Dare I ask who the eighth team who they beat was.
Try 6th Jan F A CUP. + 1 more fourth round tie against Pompey.
