After the game, the reality of tonight is that we were fortunate to get a point against a hard working, well organised and dangerous Leeds team (so much for people seriously predicting we would score 4 or 5 goals tonight!!!), but we will take that point thank you very much, and thats now 13 unbeaten in the League, we are 6 points clear of 7th with 3 to play and still have an outside chance of making automatic.

We have played better this season, but at this point in the season its about results, and we got one tonight.

Onwards against Sheffield Utd on Monday then......

[roadrunner]

The result is not good. It may be fair, it may be hard earned, but it isn't good.

25 points from 27 isn't good enough.

McDermott OUT!!

Ah bless.

When you put it like that I now realise I'm over the moon at the fact we were rubbish and dropped two points tonight. Hurrah!

As you said, "you're special you are."

[Winnershroyal]

That's right, beat ourselves up.

Sack the board.

[Platypuss]

40 games unbeaten at home? Are you for real?

[facaldaqui]

Why did Church come on ahead of Manset? Their two performances showed why Manset is a better sub than Simon.

C'mon peeps, let's keep it real. We had a great run of 8 wins in a row. We just drew a very tough game, against a desperate opponent at a place where it has been very difficult for any visitor to win. So all in all we should have no complaints about the team and where we are.

Still I can't figure out why we had a game plan with no offensive intent. I can't believe that Kebe being out meant no going forward. Just hoofball and tracking back furiously to help out defensively. We really did have a great shot at 2nd with the remaining fixtures we had after this one, if we had won this one. But even if it was the desired result, I have to think that no one associated with the team can be happy with the way the team looked tonight outside of McCarthy. By our recent standards that was a dreadful display of football.

The voice of reason. Leeds were determined above all not to get beat, which was why we didn't get the chance to play our counter-attacking game. Given the shot on the bar and McCarthy's saves, we got a good point there.

Felt that we sat back far too much. McCarthy must have touched the ball more than Robson Kanu.

Neither McAnuff or Robson Kanu really got in the game.

Far too much long ball and dreadful passing.

Man of the Match - Alex McCarthy

[PEARCEY]

Got to be a big concern that we've failed to show up against a top team again. Our record against the top 6 isn't too great at all...

Agreed although we have at least beaten Forest now.

[facaldaqui]

One of the worst games I've seen us play in a while tbh.

McCarthy fully deserved MOTM - he kept us in the game.

We really, really missed Kebe

I wouldn't have given us the play-offs a few weeks ago, so I'm happy enough, but 2nd should have been there for the taking, so it's galling we didn't seem to turn up today. Plus, 2nd grand child is due on the play-off final weekend - so I'm hoping he/she is a few days early or a few days late!

I'm not sure that second was there for the taking. To do so we would have had to gain at least three points on Cardiff and two on Norwich over four games. It might have happened, but it was unlikely. I think we did turn up; unfortunately, so did Leeds.

I have no idea of their home form. Only quoting what I'd read earlier.

Spakker I may be, but at least I don't look like a camp middle aged man with an earring!

[RoyalChicagoFC]

7 even, and with a hefty goal-difference edge on top of it and good thru the weekend, and indeed a spot in among the top six there for the taking on Monday (but I do take your point!)

Leeds, meanwhile, failed to reclaim the sixth position that they held at the break of day

[Libertine]

What worries me is how shite we've look against the top 6, when we still have to beat 2 of them to get promoted.

I'd rather look like Simon Weston than be as much of a 'tard as you, so we're both happy.

Best hope it's Cardiff and Forest then, who haven't beaten us all season................

I've checked and Leeds did lose home games in the early part of the season, one of which was to Preston!
