Roper is on very thin ice, he should go back to playing Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films

To their (dis)credit, they're calling Jermaine Beckford "Darren" Beckford. So that's cool.

Sky were trying to say that Moore on the bench could be the answer second half - they obviously haven't seen him play for us yet.


WM have just mentioned that.

Might be the galvanising sub we need, although Bradley has helped already.

Better at counter-attack, better with their chances. Shame.

Glad I'm not watching it. I said we were lucky last week at Forest and that although it was a battling performance the result flattered us. Tonight we've been found out, simple as that.

It's been a battling performance, and the result isn't flattering us!

Not too surprised about this turn of events. Can't see us winning enough games to get back in the play off places and stopping there though.

Tend to agree with you there - a shame as we have had some great times this season

What? Your telling me we didn't invest when we were in a strong position, oh.....and we didn't re-invest when we lost 3 KEY players? And people are surprised by our end of season slump, I along with many others forecast this. So so so disappointing and disheartening. The club showed its ambition for this season on January 31st.

might just do us a bit of good being out of the play off zone. maybe we have only had 1 point in 12 because of being a little complacent, might just give us the spark we need to finish off the season with a surge. i would rather be out of the play offs now and push hard to get back in then to be in the play offs and robbed at the end of the season. There is still hope yet

Change the record Daz - i'ts getting boring, time has moved on.


Last week we rode our luck, but battled hard and deserved a point. Today, Leeds were a class above. Beckford wont stay if they dont get promotion. I don't doubt that we are lacking a few players. But we were beaten by a much better team.

On the BBC "predictions" thing I predicted we would fall to 9th before rallying - hope I am right. Of the 2 teams on show today, only one lucked like contenders though.

It certainly is a shame. The sale of Dann in particular, and not finding an adequate replacement for Ricketts could well have done for us. We are still 'in the mix' but it's not looking good.

Sorry but why is a relevant fact got to be looked over? I am super, super disappointed.

DD during the WM interview certainly seems to play us down as a club - comparing us to the likes of Leyton Orient - I mean how long has it been since they were in the Championship? I also detest this plucky/punching above our weight stuff - which in terms of our history is not the case at all. It's probably self-serving and in his own interests to say it ["have'nt I done a great job" etc.] but its wearing pretty thin with me.
