If we’d beaten Stoke we could have finished on 90 points and still been fourth.

Rate him or not (and I for one don’t) he’s clearly our best option leading the line until RS is fully fit.

Here come last day dead rubber man.

Ooooh, shame. A fraction early.

Simple question: what, in your view, would prevent a man - any man in the world - from using the women’s changing room?

You’ve gone from saying it’s silly to try something different in the last game to demanding to know why we didn’t try it several games ago (when we were playing well and winning games).

We weren’t playing Leeds several games ago.

Well, I may be confused here but I’m under the impression I’ve just watched a decent half of football. We played the way you have to in order to beat Leeds, ran at them, put their defence under pressure and even roughed them up a but towards the end. So far not a bad plan B, from the manager with no plan B. Only two downsides really: Manning is only a smelly fart away from being sent off and needs to be subbed. Possession was 50:50. Absolutely gutted.

Need Bree on for Manning at HT. Got to be on his last warning now.

We’re playing the way you need to get at Leeds and cause them problems. There is no tactic in the world which involves JS and THB playing the balls they did in the build up to Leeds’ goal. Those were individual errors. And now we’re 2-1 up at Elland Road. This game isn’t the disaster some people want it to be.

Adams through on goal. Forgets to take the ball with him.

The goal we conceded was nothing to do with the formation or tactics. If you keep giving them the ball in areas like that, you’ll conceded playing an 8-1-1.

Dreadful from THB, TBH.

FFS! What are we doing with this stupid formation. Now isn’t the time to be p*ssing around, scoring goals.

Touch of a f**king hippo from Adams at the back post. Looked like a foul on Downes too.

Like going back to the 4-3-3 we’ve been playing the rest of the season, having lost absolutely nothing.

Martha used to do bird for dodgy share trading and now makes brownies with Snoop dog.

Okay, so it would be madness to do anything thing other than just play it safe and stick with the strategy that’s lost us the last three games?

A manager who's just lost three consecutive games is trying something slightly different (5-3-2 is hardly unthinkable) in a match with no league consequences. I genuinely fail to see any problem here.

It's a free hit. May as well try something new, see if anything works and throw Leeds off the scent, should we meet them at Wembley.

He'll need to reestablish match fitness and sharpness to be of any use in the playoffs. No good keeping him safe if he comes back a yard off the pace. Presumably he'll get an hour or so then Charles will come on.

Journalist: Which CBs are you going with today? Martin: Yes.

I really can't think of many who've been a flop here and done it for someone else at a similar level. Most of our cast offs over the last few years have ended up in weaker, continental leagues or the Championship.

This is simply the latest rendition of a discussion which will carry on repeating indefinitely for the simple reason that some people need ambiguity to make their beliefs seem plausible. The whole idea of Gender identity being separate from biological sex can be very simply categorised as: Category 1: People are born with reproductive organs which, if healthy functioning upon adolescence, will produce either A: Sperm or B: Eggs. Category 2: People chosing to identify in ways they feel represent their personality. Cat 1 is a clearly definied biological fixture and cannot be 'transitioned' or chosen. Cat 2 is the complete opposite, there are no rules what so ever; people are identifying as they/them, xi/xir, asexual, gender fluid and sometimes swapping between any of the above for a matter of hours. This is where the problems start. You can't separate society society on Cat 2, it would be absurd. You would have 50 FIFA WCs and in four years time you would need over 200. So your only choice is to separate society by Cat 1, which of course offends or 'excludes' trans people. So the issue is never solved. People claim to be trans Cat 2 and roll their eyes because other people, "obviously don't understand the difference between biological sex and gender identity." when really they WANT to transition Cat 1 but can't.

Of course he’s taking some flak, he’s our record signing and he’s sh*te in the Championship.
