The streams are as bad as our defending

[HarryofOz]

Entertaining first half

[The Subhuman]

Better performance...

Birmingham escape.

[Genghers]

Better performance...

Birmingham escape.

Big final few minutes in the other games - Brighton get a winner sealing the final play-off place and Brum's equaliser keeping them up.

Thought we played pretty well in that second half. Shame Ross couldn't get that 30th goal and win it, but pleased to come back into a game we probably would have gone on to lose earlier in the season.

Thought we were unlucky today the only difference for me was one bit of awful defending Saying that thought micheal Brown was outstanding.

Pleased that an awful season has finally come to an end . The next couple of months is bound to be interesting and , as an eternal optimist , I hope the start of a new more positive era .

I watched on a very good stream and I agree - Browneh was Leeds MOTM
Totally gobsmacked we actually had a midfield today - especially 2nd ½

[Drs.Dad]

As I left the ground, I said to drsdadsotherson that I never thought I would ever say it, but Michael Brown was my MOTM, he never stopped running, constantly breaking up attacks, setting up our own attacks, and even nearly scoring. Not bad for a virtual OAP!

Whitbread is still trying to get out of Brown's pocket! :mrgreen:

[1964white]

MOTM Michael Brown shone yet again today with Smith not far behind

Brownie also MOTM on the Wolds Flyer

[Twiggster]

Ross disappointed - trying too hard to get his 30th goal, I thought? However McCormack Junior scored in the thank you lap after full time, so I guess McCormack DID get 30 goals!

That's what a holding midfielder should do & Brown has been excellent since replacing Ya Ya a few weeks ago.

Has been one of our better players this season when you think how few games he has played....not the answer for 2014/15 though !

[Twiggster]

was an odd game, especially 2nd ½. We actually looked like a decent team! Some of our touches and 1-2's were great to watch, especially going forrad Tho Tonge did his best to screw that up.
Defence was the usual last ditch panic tackling after being easily cut open tho, throughout the game. Butland saved us a good few times in the 1st ½.
Even Lees and Rodi only caused me to swear at my screen occasionally

The EFFORT was there today tho. Even if our players are crap, all I ask is EFFORT from them. Where the fekk was that since xmas until today?

Despite the slow start and the usual defensive lapse in the 5th minute, Leeds did eventually grow into this game and eventually i thought we were actually the better team - haven't said that to often this season. I do now worry though that the powers that be look at these last few games and think that actually, we are not that poor a team and let that dictate who they decide to retain and how many new faces they think we need. I was dismayed to see McDermott's response after the game to when he said "Since things have settled down our record equates to 92 points over a season". He seems to be saying that we should forget the rest of the season and just gross up the points from the last 5 games and assume that would have been the season's tally for a completely settled season !!! I know he is fighting for his job, I know he loves it at Leeds and wants to stop here, but that is a ridiculous thing to say IMO. Incredibly the team yesterday eventually began to play really well, but we cannot trust that to now become the norm. The real problem has to be our defence and that needs major surgery plus we lack pace in all positions in our team I think Derby were in second gear and most were probably ensuring that they were fit for the play-offs. Derby looked capable of slicing us open whenever they attacked early in the game and that only changed when we were attacking and sort of defending from the front. Many changes are required in the summer to give us a chance of competing with the best teams in the championship. Having said all that it was fantastic to have a real game of football to watch yesterday ! Loads of shots, many on target, good pace to it, movement from Leeds, good banter in the crowd. More please next season !

Well Pugh did play on the left side of midfield in the early part of his career
