Disaster

Ah well

Plenty more football to be played

Carcharodon

Still plenty of opportunities to get automatic but not looking great

Couldn’t of went worse, loss, red card and injury...Jesus Christ.
Sooo many mistakes

quarryman

Gutted.

Proper six pointer gone the wrong way. At home.

Pontus with a potential knee injury.

Casillas suspended.

Zaph

Casilla out for the Millwall game. Could have been worse, I thought it was a three match ban for a straight red.

Yeah, a couple of hours earlier would have been a better idea.

Carcharodon

7:30 here, could do with a drink myself

Mushy

At least it's only 1 point behind...that's what the young optimist in me would have said years ago

St Senan

Keep the Faith, M.O.T

Its just pure Leeds though isn't it!

Sheffield united were excellent , we didn't have a shot on target , they did a proper job on bamford in the second half .

Anyway loads to games to play , not over yet.

Come on Rotherham !!!

I keep reading we didn’t have a shot on target. Roberts smashed one off the post!

The post isn't classed as "on target".

I think a straight red can be appealed. I haven't seen any replay of it but looked very soft

I don’t think the ref had a choice, looked pretty clear cut to me, we can argue about whether players would of got back and all that put he rounded keeper, got taken down, can’t have too many arguments

I think we look destined for playoffs at this point, as it stands we would play Villa right, I would be very scared, they got talent and have underperformed

Don't suppose any season ticket holders could get additional tickets for this? My wife has told me today she has booked this for my birthday and didn't think tickets would be an issue !!!!

I actually feel sorry for her as in fairness any game she has been to tickets have not been a problem!

Just gonna bump this now the dust has settled after yesterday.

Any gold members or season ticket holders on here not attending the Wigan game who might help me out?

So now that I have accepted the way things are going and readjusted my expectations, I think it is very possible that come Paddys day we are 4th and 6 points behind 2nd spot (if we lost against WBA, Bristol and Sheff Utd). It would be hard to turn the momentum around at that point. If we can manage to get something more positive from the next 4 games, say are only 3 points back from the automatic places come Paddys day then our run in does look reasonable but right now it's hard to be optimistic - such is the life of a Leeds fan!

This was my post from the day after we lost to QPR. Putting a positive view on things I think the last 4 games as a whole went much better than most of us feared at the time. We are only 1 point out of the automatic spot and realistically it's between us and Sheff Utd now for that spot. The way it is going it will probably go down to the last match where both of us are away from home, us at Villa, them at Stoke. I just hope we have our noses in front at the start of that day.

Jaysus I know Ipswich are muck and getting relegated, but not to count them as a match is harsh

But yeah, fully agree. Similar run in, just have to better their results really

Ceist_Beag

Woops, Norwich are at Villa - of course it was the tractor boys I meant!

maximoose

Was feeling pretty gutted after the result over the weekend but a bit more hopeful today!

Not over, plenty of points to be won and their run in is marginally harder than ours. MOT.

Surprised by this! hopefully a repeat of this for the Wigan game

J Cheever Loophole

Any word on Pontus - is his injury likely to mean him missing games? If the answer is 'yes', is Berardi available?

maximoose

3 weeks out for Pontus I think, so likely to miss Millwall but could be back after that.

Berardi available afaik

Anyone done the East Midlands Airport to Leeds trip by public transport lately? Just wondering about train times from Derby

Done it a few times.

Bus from Airport to Derby Train Station will take about 40 mins.

For the train from Derby to Leeds, in many cases, 2 singles from Derby to Sheffield and Sheffield to Leeds can work out much cheaper than a direct Derby to Leeds ticket - even though it might be the same train all the way.

Train is about 1hr 40 in total

I just did it once, but checkout the trainline website for prices. Worked well for me

We did this last weekend, but we hired a car, which came to about 70€ including diesel. Probably cheaper for 2 people than by train. 1.5 hours drive, parked beside elland road. Painless and cheap.

The train option is good for a one-way journey. I'm not sure of prices for drop-off at another airport.

The last time, the two trains cost me just over £5 each. I think a direct Derby to Leeds train priced up around £30

The legend that is Gary Kelly, love that man I do.

I find it much more entertaining that the PL tbh. The top 6 in the PL is a static bunch. Its really split into the top 6 and then "best of the rest". I sometimes watch MotD and think "God, this is dull stuff, give me Brentford at home to Norwich any day".

I will miss the Championship next year if Leeds go up, but I think I will still watch the Championship games. Its much more entertaining than the PL and I just feel that many of the players are more passionate about their clubs. Any one of 15 teams could realistically win the Championship next year. In the PL, it will be one of 3 and most probably Man City (again).

Championship is far more engaging and open than the EPL. Some big clubs, Leeds, Villa, Forest, Derby, WBA, Wednesday, and a real cut throat feel, anything can happen in any game.
