Leeds Utd 1 Preston 2

I suppaose losing today the owners will definitely see we need some new signings especially as Kamara and Ampedu looked leggy and had no influence on the game today, couldn't dictate a decent tempo which ultimately sets the tone of a game and this has been repeated too many times this season especially away at Sunderland Stoke and Southampton.

This is Leeds United we can throw anything away, aren't we the only team top at Christmas who didn't go up?

Funny how Lowfields didn’t come on here after we beat Ipswich!
A typical Boxing Day display from Leeds Utd. I think Preston are the dirtiest, most cheating team we have encountered this season. They remind me of the Prem match we had at Burnley when they hacked our players down all game and the ref gave them every decision.

We don’t sing “we have our ups and downs” for nothing. We definitely need a few less of these “downs”. If Ipswich win tonight I think that’s the autos gone, Southampton are more likely than us to get into them.

I think we need to sign a good LB (Charlie Taylor would do for me) and then put Spence or Byram at RB and put Archie back in midfield alongside Kamara and Ampadu. There would be one less attacker, but I’m sure we could still score the necessary goals,

22 fouls and 5 bookings for Preston. The ref was garbage and gave our players little protection.

At 1-1 the lads should have settled for the point but we still wanted to collect all three. Naive at best.

I actually believe we would score more goals with Archie Ampadu and Kamara in midfield and dropping one of our attackers who start every week.

4th place tonight lads. This kind of inconsistency will cost us big time.

4th with 22 games left to play? Hardly time to start worrying and giving up.

Just seen the sending off. So soft and their player should be embarrassed.

The ref should have stepped in to separate the players as well. Then Meslier would have been surrounded by Preston’s Petals.

Traditionally Boxing day serves up some odd results with out of character performances so I'm trying to see today as a bad day at the office and if we drop to 4th so be it. This season is still a chasm apart in terms of positive vibes around the club compared to what we've had to witnesss under Marsch etc.

Almost every year we fall apart around this time - let’s hope not this year!

A belated thanks for joining in everyone.

Apologies for missing 2nd half but at least my local team has a fine victory in the Belfast Derby.

David Healy is doing a magnificent job in management.
Who knows maybe one day he will end up at the Team he loved playing for more than any other in England.
