Hard to look too much in to the defeat.

BPF should have kept the first two out, although Jansson didn't do enough either for the first.

The third was a ricochet which happened to fall nicely to one of the best players in the league.

Then again with the fourth a ricochet and BPF caught out of position.

As a whole we never get the rub of the green and Saturday was a prime example. Unfortunately for Leeds United, if they don't play well we pay the price for it. Unlike teams like Boro who pull a result out of their ***.

It was bound to happen. We have been beaten by Birmingham, Blackburn and now West brom. We could have dropped points at Wigan (but for a mammoth goal keeping error-lots of possession no real chances other than the first goal) , We could/ should have lost against Forest, We could have lost against Wedneday. The list goes on. Bielsa is doing a good job with average players. Its not that much different from Christianson. Same continuum just further along the line to the good. There is only so much you can do without the players.

yeah I agree with Hess we have had more than our fair share of rub of the green this season, as hess said forest goal, wigan mistake plus thorw in millwall hitting post in final minute when he should of scored. plus rub of the green in playign stoke and derby and norwich before they had time to settle.

I have said a few times I think we have flattered to decieve and may be right, that said we have only lost one game against a good team in this mental league so maybe i am jumping the gun.

agian agreeing with Hess mb is a very good manager but can't work miricles. i like coops but is he good enough to get out of this devision. maybe not, same With BPF I like him but too many mistakes will costs us, then alikso being inconsistant and our best player saiz being out of form, then throw in players like dallas getting game time and it is worrying, again I know i will get jumped on but I would also throw KP in that mix, great against wigan and rotherham one of the best in league but as soon as we play the better teams he will always be found wanting and with coops KP and BFP are the spine of our team and vital to every game. I have said from 1st game i can not see them doing well in the playoffs against the likes of Swans or west brom.

but then i am negitive and always worry, we are still in the mix and this year if any maybe anyone can do it so why not us. maybe rads will put hand in pocket and get a keeper (as MB don't rate jamal) a center back and CM who can play in physical and quick games

even the playoffs is a big improvement from last season and impvorement how ever little every year is enough for me MOT.

So what I’m hearing from some posters is, we were lucky when we played this team and that team, we played a few teams before they had settled! So we settled early and now just getting lucky? Without watching these other unlucky and unsettled teams regularly I cannot comment . I suppose we’ll see them storm the table, Derby became a little unsettled again at home to Villa! . But I hope the luck continues and some of the unsettled teams become unsettled again! That way way we might luckily make the top six! MOT.

well yeah kinda rag,

the original post says we never get the rub of the green where truth is we have had a lot of luck (all sitiuations mentioned above) we hit the ground running due to manager and hard work so cuaght stoke and derby and norwich off guard. again we have played well but have also falltered to decieve

since then we have had some bad luck but also shown our true limit which for me is between 5th-8th in the table. we have shown more fight this year and bit more class but also shown our weakness. MB is not a god and can't turn a team 14th into top four with pretty much same team. outside of douglas (and bamford but he is out) have we improved the team? then add to that our best player saiz has been out of form.

there are positives but many have had us as best team in league or champs which is great and lovely to have that positivity but for me sadly this was never the case. I would be delighted with playoffs.
