Great game did any body notice how much lampard was up for it It's like he had really mist playing against us and he must have told his teamates how Important it was to win that makes you proud one of there players cost more than our squad well donelads but we do need a bit more quallity byrem great and ashdown made some great saves learn from the mistakes and he will be good look at the possitives people we have whsy {Ed003's Note -He was wound up because of Brown's antics nothing else}

I did notice Lampard trying to kick the sh*t out of Byram and Diouf on a couple of occassions if that's what you mean by 'up for it'....?

brilliant atmosphere last night the only way to keep it is by getting promotion people are staying away because there wont pay good money to watch teams like barnsley ,posh,we want to play chelsea ,liverpool, city ,scum,spurs ,and the rest we want to see good players so if ghf have got anything about them there will pump as much money it takes to get us promotion to get elland road rocking again[kez1919]

Yeah I agree but to get to the promised land to see those teams we need the support at ER NOW!!!What a place ER is when its full can't beat it Goose bump time

alot of peeps seem to be asking why druary not playing left back pelts right bac then byram right midfield.any thoughts ed
this makes sense click agree ,formation ok click disagree {Ed013's Note - Drury was set to play yesterday, but picked up a knock in training}

byram and green have worked well together and peltier loses concentration too easy and makes too many mistakes.

Peltier is our defensive weak link, end of!
Gimpos

I probably agree. Had such high expectations for the fella but he hasnt really performed anything other than average. Pity but if Neil is improving the team with one or two additional players then he's gonna have to improve as the tream grows or find himself playing below par and highlighted as a weakness.

The result last night was pretty harsh to be fair we actually played pretty well in spells as we have in last 4 or 5 games.

Thomas is a major difference for us when he plays he seems to make options available and makes room for other players would love him to be permanent come January.

On the downside Peltier I'm sorry to say he's absolutely shocking regardless of being played out of position he can't even give a 5 yard pass how on earth is he our captain??

Overall at the minute it seems we've turned a corner but I think it has an awful lot to do with Thomas and just hope if we can't get him permanently then maybe we could get someone of the same qualities.

Result doesnt bother me. i think you expect chelseas class and fitness to prevail in the second half. 5-1 is harsh on our boys though. Felt sorry for ashdown. Terrific first half. he would be no1 in most championship teams. I was suprised Warnock played such a strong side. I thought the likes Thomas and diouf would have been rested with boro on saturday. Thought Rosco would have had a full game. Nevertheless very proud MOT

Ashdown let four goals in at the near post-unacceptable

chelseas 1st goal good finish

the 2nd was 1 close range header near post no keeper would of stood a chance of seeing that ball untill it was too late .

mosses goal 3 was at near post maybe should of done better .

goal 4 was a 1 on 1 cant really class keeper been beat at near post for that.

goal 5 was a simple tap in in middle of goal and if anything was closer to the back post .

so to say ashdown let 4 in at near post is just harsh.

It's not harsh it is a fact - he can't hold a ball either, his limp wrists palm everything out to where on rushing forwards should be. Up there with Peltier for signing of the season!!

Proud Proud leeds fan today, no shame in last nights performance, Chelski enjoy your day at wembley (if you get there, come on you swans) maybe if chelski win it theyll give the fast spanish waiter a 5 year contract so he can ruin the club, again well done leeds

We played well in the first half,then collapsed in the second half
If Leeds want to get promoted this season,how many first team players would make the grade in the premier league,personally we probably need another 5 players

i really hope we sell white in January.he can't even run properly with the ball its always too far away from him giving the opposition chance to take it off him .

I agree. Not a fan of White. Everyone says wow he's got pace but that's it. He cant run and kick a ball, especially in the wind and rain like last night.

I think the best thing for him would be to go out on loan for at least the rest of the season and develop his game. Hopefully then he will turn into at least an adequate footballer.

Complaining about Michael Brown? if we had Norris playing last night who would of got stuck Into the likes of frank lampard and Moses running down the wing. He was stuck in and that's what Leeds is all about! I think we played excellent football to say they had their first team out in the second half and Saturday is the key point for me and that's why Warnock took the players he did off for a rest. I'm proud to be a Leeds fan, and the atmosphere was buzzing last night. Lets up the attendance in the championship and get Elland road a fortress again! Proud.

Good effort last night, I would of liked to of seen us hold out for longer in the second half but that's life. You got to say well done Chelsea to keep the fitness levels so high and show their class. Roll on Saturday. Vinny.

I'd just like to say that as much as I enjoyed the first half and couldnt falt any of the players for there effort, I think nw made some terrible choices with the subs. For 1. He should have kept diouf on as he kept the ball well,Whenever he had the ball they had less chances of scoring. 2. Thomas ? he should have stayed on as he was creating chances. Adie white ? No way. Green should have come off in place of macca if you ask me. A few odd decisions if you ask me peltier another. But like I say still enjoyed the first half and great pass that lead to the goal and great finish from bechio, Hope he does'nt attract pl interest because of it. Great player. dp.

Have you thought that NW made them changes as the game was all but lost, and he wanted to keep the players fit and fresh for Saturday?
