The upside is the play-offs will give us all another chance to re-live the frustration of last year and watch our dreams evaporate into dust – Leeds truly are underwhelming when the pressure is on -I don’t see Leeds getting back into the Championship for some years, and the Premiership really is an absolute pipe dream.

The best thing about LUFC is the fan base, those 20,000 or so who turn up match after match hoping and praying for success, they are the true spirit of the City.

I wasn’t there, but from the highlights, we created so much, and McSheffrey has been lauded by the plaudits for his performance. Good to see him running over to celebrate with Jermaine as well after the goal – seems to be buying into what we’re about a bit more now.

So much panic nonsense further up. Getting rid of Grayson??? The same people were on here about 5 weeks ago sh**ing it about him going to Burnley.

I much prefer your approach of Kenneth kicking Larry’s butt.

We did play well and we got down the flanks from an early stage. McSheffry had his best game for us and tortured their full back. It was coming in from the other side too with Snoddy doing really well. Then they got a lucky break and a goal but we responded really well and might have won it if Lubo’s header which hit the inside of the post had bounced favourably. We’ve played much worse than that and won.

Having said all that, I left the stadium angry at the substitutions. Lets look at them

1. Hughes – Injured (in fact taken ill) so no criticism but this really disrupted the defence and had a bearing on their goal. Lubo added nothing except that header and kept hoofing the ball into the East Stand when he had options.
2. Becchio – had been winning his share in the air but was replaced by a 37 year old midget who was surrounded by Brentford giants. A terrible swap when we had much better options with Kandol’s height and Gradel’s speed / skill. About the only thing Wise got right was putting on height at a late stage which is what this league needs.
3. White. The fastest guy on the pitch was replaced by Johnson who is slower than a wet Monday morning. I heard later White was injured but I wonder how true that is.

All of these subs had an adverse impact on our team and we lost all momentum at a time we were looking to kick on and win it. So for the first time I left the game wondering about Grayson’s decision making. It’s madness suggesting we change managers and he will not get every decision right, but most people around me couldn’t see the point of Dickov and was the main reason many were booing at the end (not me).

Positives? I’ll say it again, we played well and created loads of chances. It was not like Walsall or Brighton so keep the faith! MOT.

Henry.

He should have got rid of Beckford at the beginning of the season and bought in a proven goal scorer like Lambert, when someone expresses a desire to leave he should be accommodated.

He should have concentrated on the promotion push and rested key players during any cup match.

He should have reinforced by buying in the january window.

He should look at the in form players to pick and not the same same favourites.

He should not get rid of Players like Prutton for personal reasons and refuse to use Kandol at times when he could change the games like Brentford.

He should be instructing them to play football on the ground on the ground and not shed responsibility, lets face it any one of us can play that kind of football.
He should start appreciating players like Aidy White.

Rant over, sort it kenneth, kick larrys arse. NOW!.
