Looking Like another team with no parachute payments might overtake us to the premier league, Ipswich town. Does anybody care to offer an excuse?

I feel Joe Williams has every right to be pissed off as Sykes has been bloody awful today.

Saving himself for ROI ?

I think those who were perplexed and pining for Mehmeti to get minutes are now finding out why he’s had limited game time  

Very harsh. It’s not like Sam Bell had a final ball today.

Their 8, Camara, is some player IMHO.

Ex-Rangers?

2 goes at beating the first man, and failing both times, shocking.

He's been disappointing, clearly finding the step up very challenging

Borrrrrring.

Mehmeti has now lost the ball twice in great positions.

Come on Annis  it’s not strictly come dancing all the time.

Yes but it's not like Bell had the beating of their young full-back either.

[bexhill reds]

Done with Stroud,  Mehmeti’s shirt being pulled right in front of him and not interested. Not the reason we’re losing but just a shit referee

No idea mate, just the type of player that makes the simple things look easy, like Cante used to for Chelsea.

[cidercity1987]

As the only member of OTIB not fond of Mehmeti at first sight, whilst he hasn't done anything yet he does seem to be giving Gray a harder game than Bell did

We've been quick enough to take the piss out of them in the past.

**** me, not sure getting pissy with your management and coaches every time is the type of passion you want to carry on with, imagine every player started doing that, it undermines the decisions

Played football at all or any form of team sport? 

[old_eastender]

Weimann with a chance, but good block

Totally agree. We are doing our best with a very average set of Championship players, overall, and where we sit in the table feels right. Someone needs to let the Owner know...................

Every time we struggle against a club with much more stature, better FFP due to being relegated or just having more generated money we call our squad "very average" and yet I'm not that disappointed if we're very average if that means we're in the middle of the team in the Championship because I'd dare to argue that there are that many clubs who should be finishing above us based on their stature, finances etc.

I think we have a great squad for who we are, if we were Leeds with the same players I could say "yeah, you know what, this isn't good enough" but we're not Leeds, we're not Leicester, we're not Southampton etc, we're a club who has never played in the Premier League in a league where so many have.

I think we've been ok today, as the match goes on and we get more tired the raw pace that Leeds have becomes harder to deal with and they're leading so their concentration is at it's peak whilst our players grow more and more frustrated trying to make something happen.

I don't think we've done ourselves and injustice, we've not sat back and let them bully us, we've pushed forward but they are a good defensive team, big, strong etc I think we've played well but we're outmatched and both teams are playing well so the difference is the quality in their players.

[cidercity1987]

I think we are worth a point here, just need some quality in the final ball

You might be right, but it's also likely that he's got zero confidence.

American owners with a bag of cash to spend immediately and clearly spent it wisely.

He is a shit ref but there was nothing in that . Mehmeti fell over the ball in the end

Life is actually a game of FM which I’m playing, and I’m rubbish at it.
