Reporter on Gillette said that he hit it from halfway, it looped up and then bounced just in front of the keeper and over his head!!
He lobbed it ( a cleared corner I think) hopefully from just outside the box. The Keeper got a hand to it just over the line. Sort of goal Refs usually don't see when we score them.
 
Was prepping snowblower for upcoming two major snow storms coming in the next 5 days, so didn't follow our match today. Talk about....

So his two goals in five minutes did us in - so much for my 3-2 R's match prediction - a bit foolish of me as we can't score these days! (got their goal tally almost correct).

Now a late hat-trick I see - good for him.
Snowing here already on its way northward
 
At least of the teams who were below us, only Sunderland picked up a point, and Hull 3 pts to leapfrog us on GD.

Looking at our -9 GD it would appear that our current standing is justified.

Yep, fully agree kilbs. Those two wins over the blades and wolves were invaluable but since then it's been a slow meander down the table

It was a freak goal
Leeds far too strong and although our midfield is fine we have no teeth upfront at the moment. I can only laugh when people mention relegation in Dec
 
One point out of a possible eighteen in our last six games. Holloway is clueless, he puts a defender ( Hall ) on at 78 mins when we were 2-0 down when you've got Wheeler on the bench. No shots on goal except for Wszolek's fluke which actually wasn't a shot on goal but a hopeful lob into the box. I vowed to stop going after the Derby defeat and feel better for it. The stress levels are lowered.
 
Thank you Oslo and DT for the running commentary for those of us without visuals.

No problem
Admit a bit down after that as we were very predictable going forward 4 great passes and then a channel punt, held up most times a knock back then a cross to Smith which Leeds were ready for each and every time
The ball fell to Leeds players each time following this and they able to mount quick counter attacks
Their two first goals came after they took the game away from us and both goals very very well taken
There is no doubt we have the spirit and fight in the club enough easily but it’s time to step away from the predictable
No need to cross at times there are other ways ... one would be trying to pull the shape out of the other team
Robertson looked very good today on the ball

I normally make a handful of games a season. For the first time in quite a few years I've not bothered this season and can't feel the urge changing anytime soon.

Days like today are why.

He had just put Sylla on for Bidwell, Scowen was both injured and very close to a 2nd yellow. He'd also brought on Bright Samuel for Chair. If his formation was critic worthy today it would be because it was arguably over adventurous not defensive, with 2 backs getting forward a lot and only Scowen helping Ned and Robinson. I think he should of played Syllla from the start not Conor, but it was the failure of our attackers to score that cost us the game today. Again.

It’s cumulative. We’ve had years of poor performances and it wears you out. I had a season ticket a couple of years ago, then went regularly as a member, now it’s a couple home and a couple away a season. I don’t think we are any worse this year than before, and in some ways better, at least they try and are on less outrageous pay.
