OK, Let's all take a deep breath and count to 10, well maybe 20, or even more. I know we are all deeply disappointed, even more so given we had the game won and just needed to finish out. BUT. if we had been at the opposite end of the table and now found ourselves 3 points off a playoff spot we would probably be quite excited. I, myself, was starting to feel quite negative in that we had losr Ayling and Saiz was out for quite a spell. I was not too worried about losing O'Kane other than reducing depth in the aquad but was ever Keen for Vierra and Dallas to be available again. Now, it actually appears that with 1/2 a B team and only 10 men we can compete. We WILL get Saiz back, Vierre and Dallas are back up and running, Lasogga has found his scoring boots, we have De Bock to fill in for Luke, Forshaw is coming on board and we still have time (and intent) in this window to strengthen the attack. Sorry to go all Pollyanna on all the Negative Nellie's out there but we still have 18 games to play. That's 54 points in the offing. We only have 43 now and are just 3 away from were we hope to be. Don't get me wrong. We still have a number of very high hurdles yet to clear and will have to do it hard and probably need to come home with a wet sail . but the season isn't over yet. The fat lady may be warming up in the wings BUT SHE HASN'T SUNG. I do not mean to understate anyone's disappointment, angst or anger, but I, for one, am going to TRY and stay positive and will be tuning in each week hoping for the best, from and for, our team. MOT.

18 games to play is true. "duck is a duck quote" fits well
. closer to the bottom of the league. We don't want to be another Blackpool or Blackburn and fall into the pit of League 1 again! Easy to throw Negative Nellie terms about, but it's not our money going down the drain!

I am with you kiwi it's not ALL doom and gloom and as you point out there are some, plus points. It was not a wash out for 90 mins but TC has to get that amateurish, lacklustre approach out of our system. We have to be more professional and by that I underline discipline and commitment. If that happens we have little to worry about.

If we can't beat the so-called Struggling teams in this league what makes us think we can beat the better teams. We have Hull up next, a winnable match by all accounts. I for one can't realistically see where we can gain many points from our opponates in Feburary. How many more weeks will pass with people posting we still have 19,18,17,16 games to play, while we slide towards the bottom end of the table. While it's good to stay positive, this team and manager are not giving us the means to do this. Change needs to happen.

Dont think anyone needs to lose their job but somebody explain how we where smashing it earlier in the season and from nowhere we turned to poo poo and how many times have we turned up to play and decided that tactically playing with 10 men might somehow unerve the opposition and lure them into a false sense of security only to end up stuck in our own poo poo again and how many times has an explanation to the poo poo been needed only to find that the poo poo explainer was actually suffering with piles so couldn't give a clear explanation has he had more pressing things on his mind.

Sorry to commitment and discipline I forgot to add consistency. We saw the highs and lows of our season mirrored in 90 mins play.

It takes real b"""s to do what's needed and not miss opportunities when they are bleeding obvious. The leader is the person who if they have the wrong subordinate in any management position, sees the bigger picture and hands out the P45. Any team manager who stands as TC does in today's after match interview on the Leeds site, is a dead man walking! Perhaps at least for TC's sanity, the Leeds receptionist should call out. "Taxi for Christensen". We all know what Hockaday brought to the role. ZILCH! TC's probation period is up. let's review the figures. remember Sutton and Newport. cut the BS! .

Spot on Mezzer1. let's all remember where we are tonight at the start if April, and see who's "more correct". It'll be to late then! And what hair Christensen has will be gone, just like Grayson!

Lots of good points there and I love your positivity. The but is, if we are to do what you are suggesting it has to be with a different manager. This bloke has now proved to be the wrong choice. Someone mentioned Nigel Pearson earlier and that's the calibration we need, if not home someone like him and there are a few about just now. How about an old enemy, a fella called Hughes?
