Well we were never going to win either of the cups we have a tiny squad. And of course we're trying to finish as high as possible... There's not really anyone on the bench today that you'd say would improve this first eleven, Llorente maybe but he's coming back from injury

Can't win them if you don't try.

I think it's time him and Alio head back to the Shire.

There was 8 blue shirts around the pens.ty spot there.

That is defensive commitment.

Is Hernandez a step ahead of everyone or can he just not pass a ball? Every pass of his seems to go missing

Its not a surpruse is it, its always the same story, elland road is the best place to come to end a bad run. Radz is nuts if he is willing to gamble survival without signings in January

Today has nothing to do with last week. Today has been a crap performance all round but we're still higher in the league than we could reasonably have expected

That pitch is killing our passing game.
Done better second half.
Never looked like scoring.

Embarrassed ourselves for what? The players haven't benefited from a break, they look worse.

Most teams have a poor patch in a season and we are most certainly having ours. The biggest disappointment for me has been Rodrigo. I expected so much more from a Spanish international.
A few cracks are starting to appear, I doubt the Brighton back three have had an easier game all season.
