The winner of this game will simply be the one who scores the most, I don’t think Skill will come into it. We could be besieged by Cardiff for 90 percent of the game, but as long as in that 10 percent we put the ball in that back of the net more than them. We win. That said, I’ll be happy with a draw.

  I agree scoring the most goals does help to win games….

    Meh. That came accross wrong. Meant to say really that we had a good enough chance of winning this game regardless of how good/bad we play. My hater voted me down though lol. But fucking hell. Craig Bellamy, fuck you and your skills lmao. God damn I cringed when he was warming up.
chareose

why has he benched Diouf ??? That baffles me……

  Leeds are missing ball players in midfeild, thats why we have no posession away from home…

Watched the game. Different players, same shit. Couldn’t even tell you what Cardiffs keeper looks like. Bates out
Matthew

Can’t fault this squad personally, the effort was there, they just wern’t good enough. It really shows when a team with no money packed with good/average players, goes against a team packed with quality with money to speand. Bates has, unfortunately reduced us to this. I knew when Bellamy came on we were fucked. Felt sick personally knowing a goal was going to come out of him.
- Matthew
  
  Hate to say a little Springer like with my final thoughts but really, people should only feel anger towards Bates for what he has done to this club, the players should be supported. We had a respectable loss that could of been much higher if Kenny wasn’t in goal. 3 points against Dull City and we’re back on track. As long as we get 15 points or more every 10 games we are, in a sense in a shout of the playoffs come the end of the season assuming this takeover happens before Jan, and we get some quality in and make a good go of things. Ross injured aside, its time everyone stepped up and really gave this league a go.

Matthew effort alone will not get us out of this league & what is a ‘respectable loss’? It should have been 3 or 4-1 on 2nd half chances alone. As for Dull City they banged 4 in before half time today, wish we were that dull
