So gutted. That would have been our best win of the season. I agree we look so much better than last season. Thought Piroe did well in the 1st half but we were missing an outlet in the 2nd. When Joseph came on we started to have much more control of the game and they were offering nothing the last 10. The most gutted I've ever felt, it doesn't seem fair.
Gnonto a quality above everyone on the pitch. Think Tanaka and Rothwell make us look more incisive in possession but now look more vulnerable to counter attacks. Should make for a more fun games though.

If only we were as bad as Lowfields pretends we are.
Unlike him I was supporting Leeds when we were that bad, not that long ago, and it was less bloody painful tha us finding crazy ways to f it up.
From Wigan with a man down to Derby in the play offs, missing out on players, managers, the chances missed against palace and the half time. The chances missed against Leicester. All those missed penalties. The fact we didn’t beat Portsmouth 5-0. The slip against Burnley. Now this.
It’s excruciating.

Farke response tonight shows he's learning ..... what it's like following Leeds.
We just never get the positive breaks and every mistake is massive.
Watching down the pitch, that ball spun at least a foot left. Yes, maybe he should have anticipated it might but it took two deflections to put that spin on it.
And that save was incredible. No keeper should ever have got to it..but his save bounces off the post to the sole attacker not the 5 defenders all stood within a couple of feet.
I'm blaming Revie for all this. He should have got rid of that curse properly. It's still here.
We get nothing, we expect nothing to be given to us, but this team will get promoted this year.

Guys I know we are all a bit emotional after tonight but please show a bit of respect to each other's views.
At the end of the day we are all wanting the same outcome.

We are losing too many points, we should have been top the the table by now - really frustrating. Feel sorry for Meslier.

“ Still difficult because when you make this kind of mistake you're disappointed for him. I can't say anything. We just spoke about the action and said the ball changed direction when it touched the ground and it was surprising - happy for me but not so happy for him.”
Their manager.
Sheet happens. I still blame the players at the corner we had with ONE minute to hold on and they lost the ball,
