What a lovely composed finish from Brooks there.

I'd really rather Manning was playing at left back then as a false 9.

He's going to put Rothwell on for Downes isn't he?

Move Stephens to right back. Move THB back to central defence. I don't care what he does with Manning as long as he doesn't reappear on the pitch after halftime. Put Bree on at left back. Tell him to play in that position rather than drifting around to other parts of the pitch. Consider Aribo on for Smallbone and Edozie for Stu (who isn't having one of his great days)

You missed saying how "brave" everyone was.

Please can we play someone at left back. Please.

How is that not 2-2? Or a penalty?

No Manning's Land again.

Every time they go wide on their right wing their player is in acres.

Yes!

If I was doing a poor job I would be bothered about doing a poor job.

We look like we're going to concede every time they come forwards

Adams really lined up that scuff at goal.

Adams looking ponderous. Off the post

Another ball into left back. Another goal. At least the defender got back to deflect it in.

I'd rather have a wobble now, sort our shit and turn up for the play offs than get pipped and fizzle out. At least this way we have time to turn it around. We're still a good side that has played some lovely stuff this season. Admittedly I'd also rather we win every game until the end of the season and go up automatically.

It didn't take us long to go from unbeaten run to "we're a joke". If we play to our potential the game is still ours. COYR

Rothwell scored two cracking goals the other week, but....

It doesn't matter what side we put out. They keys are not giving the ball away and playing with more intensity. Do that and we've got a shout against anyone. Be sloppy like the last two games and we'll get punished.

We've given the ball away so often the last couple of games. In really stupid areas. Lacking intensity all over the park. No idea why we took off our two most threatening players either.

Wow at Leicester's away from. There isn't a huge amount in the home form table (we've played a game less than Leeds and are 5 points behind). The away table is another matter though we don't have the friendliest fixtures left.

He's done well coming in from the right not so much when he's been central. When we're struggling he's not the best at being an out ball. Particularly against better opposition. Some of his finishing isn't the best. That being said his runs in from the right have been great and if we get him through balls he's a threat. And he'll run all day for the team. I'm unconvinced he's what we need if we get back in the Premier League and I don't think we can play him centrally. Much in the same way I don't think we get the best out of Mara if we play him out wide.

Don't worry about catching Leicester or how Leeds do. Worry about playing well against Bristol City.

Trying to extrapolate the rest of the season based upon a period at the start of the season seems as much wishful thinking as looking at the last 10 (or pick a number) of games and extrapolating. Teams will beat teams above them in the table and teams will draw or lose to teams below them in the table.
