    The early goal again, and people keep saying our defence is solid.

    Stole the ball back after giving them a free kick, got in each others way and gave it back to them about 10 yards away and Byram lunges in.

    Not convinced at all. Might throw on the second half.

    And that is that...playoffs, and no promotion after a 90+ point season

    We've collapsed tonight, unfortunately. We cannot hold onto the ball for any period of time.

    at least its early in the game we know its playoffs. Want to be mad man to bet on us in playoffs.

    Our corners are shocking. Surely it's not too much to expect that we'd have one player who could take a decent one?

    Getting 90 points and not get promoted yet someone on 75 points could be

    Will Farke even bother with any changes at half time.
    Maybe Joseph for Piroe or Kamara for Gruev

    And people wonder why Bamford is such an important player for us.

    Defensively, both Byram and Rodon look afraid of the ball, the latter has passed it to a QPR player 4 times! The ref has given them everything, from the early pull back on Piroe and the two lads catching Gnonto in the face. I expect them to improve second half as they've nothing to lose, just get the ball up the pitch as quickly as possible, and around the back 4!!

    Best defence in the division but why let the facts get in the way of a view

    Midfield is absent. Need Ampadu in there. Put Cresswell in at the back

    what i will say is bamfords close control is much better then piroes, his first touch can be v poor.

    Piroe’s first few games gave us all a false impression that he was going to be a clinical finisher who finished the season with 30 goals. In reality he’s far from polished. Haven’t been impressed with him really on the season as a whole

    Not tonight nor against Blackburn, Watford and Coventry when it mattered.

    We may yet turn this around (can’t see it though) but this is one game where we’re clearly missing Bamford. Whatever the critics say we’d not be two down with him on.

    And yeah, I’m the eternal optimist, but not for the play-offs. We get at least a point tonight or we shed half our team and try again next season.

    Piroes goals to minutes this year is pretty close to his time at Swansea.

    Leeds strikers don't get that many goals cos our wingers get so many

    ah pathetic.

    Ipswich could lose to Hull and Coventry and I’d still fancy them to go up

    Ah well. Took Bielsa 2 years and took Farke 2 years first time with Norwich.

    This is starting to feel like last season all over again. I can take losing, and to be fair most Leeds fans would have happily donated a limb if they were guaranteed to be where we are now. But it's the gutless performances since the international break where we struggle to string two passes together and gift goals to the opposition that I'm having a hard time coming to terms with.

    Just hope the board don't think this season is a near miss and that they don't have to invest like our first year in PL under radz finishing so high. I Would have happily finished bit lower this season if it meant mnre investment next. I Just find it very hard to imagine us doing anything in the playoffs.
