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

Mehmeti has to do better when one on one.

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

Agreed, need a chance to fall for Tommy

Played football at all or any form of team sport? 

Haha what a pointless way to respond. If you want to see “passion” at not wanting to be subbed, without it being apparent or needing a talking to from coaches, then have a look at Nahki when he is next subbed.

[Curr Avon]

Meslier does love to punch the ball.

Bamford such a cheat

Leeds time wasting at home to little Bristol City

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.

I'm not arguing with anything you are saying. I think "most" fans realise we are average (apart from a few here on the MTD and a couple of blokes called Lansdown) and set their expectations accordingly.

Hopefully another late goal, keep going boys

It's professionalism. Any club regardless of size at 2-1 going into injury time does the same. The size of your cock has got sod all to do with it.

[old_eastender]

Forward pass  on for Cornick and he loses possession.

[marcofisher]

Cornick has been really poor today.

[Curr Avon]

Cornick loses the ball again and we're defending back 50 yards.

[Ska Junkie]

Dickie up front?

[Lack of Action Man]

Why would the stream die now? Like I've sat through the shit show, at least let me see it through to conclusion.

Can't help it, but I find them a ******* detestable club.

[Curr Avon]

Mehmeti beaten again near the left corner.

[mozo]

Cornick was so promising on Wednesday and so poor today. Mehmeti doing no better and Sykes for all his running has done nothing with the ball.

It's a reminder of the difference in levels on the pitch.

Yea, apart from his long throws he has been poor compared to what Wells gives us.

It’s called passion, you can be frustrated and angry. You’ve never played a team sport where you’ve think you’ve had a bad game or been angry to be substituted or be given out? So no not pointless at all.
 

Wells is a shocking example, he always looks pissed off when substituted, especially if he’s not scored.

I would argue that NP wants his players to be angry and will be pleased with the reaction.

[Curr Avon]

City giver the ball straight to Leeds with a poor Max clearance.

Saving himself for ROI ?

Generally his all round game today has been very poor especially his passing.

[Lack of Action Man]

Today’s game has shown that certain players who have come in over the last 12 months are not better than what we already have/had. 

[MelksRed]

Not an unexpected result. Onwards and upwards.

Each to their own, but I absolutely despise this way of thinking.

Unfortunately, I worry that this thought process is far too embedded within the club and fanbase.

Luton, Bournemouth, Wigan, Barnsley, etc didn't seem to think that they should just be happy as a midtable Championship team, but apparently the biggest club in the 7th biggest city in England, who are one of the better teams in the division in terms of attendances, can't expect to ever be better than average.

In the grand scheme of things, there's absolutely no reason why we can't achieve just as much as almost any other Championship club.

[pillred]

Another year another loss to Leeds nothing changes, unfortunately.

[cidercity1987]

Battled well, Leeds sat back alot surprisingly.

Can't complain with two one goal defeats away to parachute clubs but need to be better against the likes of Stoke to challenge top six
