Wouldn't mind a similar second half to Saturday. Hopefully we get Alioski and Hernandez on ASAP.

Player of the year tbh

Bamford...WTF

Carcharodon

Jesus Bamford, that’s just shocking, when he is bad he is real bad

10000maniacs

Bamford is the weak link.

event

I'm more disappointed with Costa and Harrison. Just no threat at all

event

Penalty surely

100% it’s not for lack of effort, it’s just a lack of quality, he really isn’t good enough to be main striker week in week out

Carcharodon

We really love to block our goal bound shots, jesus

It’s the type that would be given against Cooper and we’d be very frustrated by. They are given though

Kind of shocking Bamford gets 90 mins, Gotts ???

Costa header at the end. Ffs

Carcharodon

Wtf, the worst header ever lol, comical stuff
Ah well, a point is a point

c.p.w.g.w

Seriously...Are we really going to have to spend 15 million on Costa if we get up...Absolutely dreadful tonight even before he messed up that great chance

GoldFour4

On to Blackburn - gap down to 6

blaa85

I was praying for a point when we were down 1-0, so I can live with that. Bamford and Costa should have their wages docked for that though, Harrison and Aloski with crosses that strikers would die for.

whiterebel

The 2 “efforts” at headers by Bamford and Costa....sweet baby Jesus.

purple hands

Pat and Costa blaming the floodlights for those misses?!

Imagine...we don't go up because the floodlights were too bright tonight

Maybe whatever lawyer we use to try and get out of the JKA deal will do a two for one offer!

Mushy

At 0-1 I was fearing the worst. I'll take a point, keep it ticking over. Adds to the nerves though

Zaph

That was pretty frustrating stuff. Whatever about Bamford, we all know his weaknesses at this stage, but Costa was the real problem for me tonight. He made some good runs when he had the ball, but you just knew every single time it would come to nothing. He holds onto it for too long instead of offloading the ball before he runs into two or three defenders, and you can't do that against a team like Luton who are packing the defence. Looking at his performances this season I'd say Wolves can't believe their luck that they'll be pocketing £15m shortly.

I can remember going out of Europe when they went in Lukics eyes vs Rangers!

Given that record, 'twas a great result!

Costa 15m
Harrison 8m (good deal)
JKA 18m

40m just to keep the squad together. Can't see us spending a whole pile more of we go up

GoldFour4

Phil Hay was tweeting today that they will likely terminate the JKA loan (wasn’t aware that was an option)

10000maniacs

6 points safe with 18 to play for. 5 if we count Brentfords goal difference. We need a few more wins.

Harrison is definitely the best money spent out of those three. It makes him look like a bargain at that price.

It's hard to even think of Harrison as a Man City player on loan, he seems fully invested in Leeds and Bielsa and, promotion or not, they should sign him.

championc

It's a real shame that we don't get some return from improving a loanee like White. Of course, there aren't many loanee's who turn out to be a class abovetheir expected level.

Carcharodon

Just read there that Augustin has been back in full training, I know Bielsa has his ways and has been successful and there could be more to it but my god if ever we needed that little bit of quality or somebody that could offer a bit of spark up front, now is the time.
Especially with the ability to make 5 subs, 20 mins at least, if I have to watch the ball bounce off Bamford one more time Iam going to cry, if we manage to mess this up, it will be solely down to wastefulness in front of goal.
Leeds are pretty easy to set up against, park the bus and counter attack, our lack of creativity and finishing is our Achilles heel.

Keyzer

Effort = 10/10

Creativity = 2/10

Finishing gilt edge chances = 0/10

event

Yeah that one is done but I'd be unsure how he will do in the PL. Not sure he has what it takes, but he is young. (this is about Harrison)
One thing I am worried about is that a lot of our midfielders are small. Need a bit more physicality

Hijpo

What I'm worried about is the fact that teams only need two or three chances to score but we need seventeen and thirteen corners.

We will get absolutely annihilated by premier teams because they do have the caliber in front of goal.

I'd presume if Leeds go up they'll move for Watkins, or a striker from a club coming down, Wilson, Bowen, Pukki etc.

blaa85

Checked the league after 40 games last year. We were a point better off on 76, but in 3rd place. 1 point behind Sheff Utd, and 8 behind Norwich.

That was before the Brentford / Wigan disaster.

whiterebel

You would also have to marvel at how well opposition keepers start playing against us. World class saves at times, yet they make it look effortless. Almost as effortless as Bamford and Costa make headers......

They have too... Bamford is not good enough for PL and Augustin is unproven.

Yeah exactly. For all the justified complaints about Bamford and Costa's misses, their keeper made a huge number of saves when we were pounding their goal.

Our corners are just bloody frustrating though - we must have one of the lowest scoring percentages in the EFL.

Ah yes, the Keiren Westwood effect. Happens all too frequently!

Will be stewing on last night till 3pm Saturday. At least a defeat was turned into a draw, maybe in contrast to how it might have gone last season.

Contrary to popular opinion before the restart - looking at you Adam Forshaw - it will certainly not be a formality. They will not romp it. Just have to hope the minimum required points can be scraped together to stay in the top 2, and the unpredictable nature of the Championship equally affects the likes of Brentford and the chasing pack
