Dont see why Matty got red?

Ref considered Matty went looking for the confrontation.

I’ll keep perspective but unfortunately the dark cloud of last season still hovers.

It's my view that constantly looking to draw parallels with last season makes it more likely to happen again. This is one disappointing defeat, let's not turn it into anything more than that.

I agree you could argue he faked the headbutt but then you'd have to not send the Leeds player off too. If you except that Taylor didn't look for/exaggerate what happened very little to book him for.

He's not wrong but the Leeds player didn't need to react how he did. Yellow sufficient for Matty I think. 

Won't make much of a difference tbh.

 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

I will be happy when the final whistle blows.

1 bad game and suddenly our strength in depth, which was sufficient to beat 2 PL teams, is a 'myth'.

Our cup run and form so far this season has proved we have strength and depth.

It doesn't give us the right or means to remain unbeaten all year though and people should remember that.

Maybe they have a low melt point?

Yep - it's all about:

Thats Not Heglers fault he is a midfielder, should never start there, should have been in midfield instead of Pack.

Perhaps, but Jens has been set up as a CB this season, and done well enough there in the cup.

Agree... Mags should have started at CB...and Woodrow should not have startrd at all. LJ to blame.

[Lordofthebling]

We are simply not there just yet. 

Top two is a fallacy, playoffs a distant possibility, places 10-15 is our area.

 

[RumRed]

Wake up call 

C’mon City, write today off and kick on!

[Fordy62]

Good teams have bad days. We’ve largely been a good team this season and today is a bad day.  I’m confident that there won’t be the meltdown many are predicting tonight. 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Fammy should have scored there.

[old_eastender]

Now Fammy misses a sitter after good play by Flint and Brownhill

Its just a bit worrying that none of us would have picked that team which Lee did.

None of us have the same close-up view of the squad every day like he does either. 

LJ has got a lot more right than wrong so far this season, so I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt on this occasion.

Being positive yes, but this might ironically be the kind of shot in the arm the team could benefit from before Tuesday night.

I'm not there today but was at the Burton game which was also pretty dire. So the idea this is just a one-off seems a bit optimistic to me.

Yep because thinking about things makes them happen doesn’t it?

Drawing parallels with last season does not make it more likely to happen.

 

[cityexile]

As comprehensive a stuffing as you can imagine.

Just a day when everything went wrong. Against a pretty decent side, a pile of injuries, to many changes, and Leeds got off to a flyer. From there, never really ever in the match. Such a shame given the crowd.

Ho hum. Had the punch on the nose. Now the test of real character.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

FT

[petehinton]

Embarrassing performance by every player on the pitch in a red shirt. No one above a 5/10. 

Didnt look interested from the first minute.

Mentality affects confidence, and confidence affects performance. Basic psychology.

Different games and different reasons for not getting success in either. 

Today poor all round, Burton we were in total control but couldn't find that goal (to count)

He’s prioritised Tuesday night , not saying I agree but I think that’s what he’s done
