This is where it all falls apart.
We'll go all the way to Christmas without a win.
We'll slip into the bottom half of the table.
Jansson, Taylor, Bartley and Hernandez will all leave.
Monk will be sacked in February.
We finish the season in the bottom 3 under a conference manager that Cellino decided would be better for the club.

If you get 10 corners and you do the same thing every time without creating a clear chance, that's just plain stupid. And we gave more away than phuckin Santa.

Realistically a reality check - we were beaten by a better team.
Cheers Highland.
Well Lads there's always next week.

Chins up, we're 7th
posted on 20/11/16
And 2 weeks ago we were 6th.
We could've gone up to 4th today and closed the gap to the auto places.
But we didn't.
We folded, like we always do.

I thought Phillips was really getting into the game 2nd half, then he takes two of the worst corners I've seen in a long while
Newcastle's left-back had the measure of Sacko, unlike many
Not Douk's best game
Wood ... no sort of threat today
But we've nothing to be ashamed of overall, just up against very good opposition and lost by a narrow margin ...we didn't " fold"

Leeds Never Got rub at all - Kicking the wrong way 1st half had a bad feeling we would not get the result - ref was over fussy too - They passed the ball much better in the game and Gayle exposed all Mistakes with Goals- Leeds really did not do themselves justice in the game but a 2-0 result was ok in hindsight against the league leaders and hopefully we will be too strong for Rotherham- Penalty could have been given and we just are just not as in potent in attacking although we have most of the ball in the game- lets compete FFS

Rotherham is going to be a very tricky game, they'll be well up for it

Just in from work, Disappointed with the score but despite my optimistic predictions I'm not that surprised, This was always going to be hard given the level playing field created by parachute payments
from what I've read we didn't do too badly and the spirit within the team remains good.
Fully expect us to bounce back from this and keep challenging for the top 6 spots
Thanks for looking after the thread Lads
