    Loved the Radio Leeds commentary there.

    Gary Jones giving it the "get in" before the ball actually went in because he knew the keeper wasn't saving it

    Watching along at work and missed every goal as keep getting called away to do my job! If it's still 1-2 in injury time I'll leave the room just in case...

    We've been desperate for top League 1 games for a number of years, we are far from the finished article but this is where we are!

    Stupid from Baldwin. Tilt was covering.

    They're looking for cheap free kicks all over. Just don't give them away.

    If Humphrys is the central striker he needs to be in the penalty area when we're attacking not on the edge

    Much much better now we have players on tbe pitch who are comfortable receiving and passing the ball. Ashby and White showing up really well.

    Second half much better.

    Second half is what the first half should have been. But GA bottled it. He needs his arse kicking.

    Yes, you're right. Showing Wright how to be a more effective wing back.

    Simply not good enough.

    And clearly not good enough from Graham Alexander.

    No complaints with that result or performance.
    Won’t fault the lads in terms of effort and commitment.
    Beaten by a better team…. 2 very important weeks left of the transfer window. We are close but not quite there….. will we twist? I hope so

    A very poor opening 30/35 minutes but from then on it was basically all us. We desperately need a top quality number 9 though.

    Sibley, Ashby and White all did well when coming on.

    Better second half but never looked like scoring really.

    Humps miss just amplifies need for a goal scorer. It was easier to score than miss.

    Do you have any realism as to how far we have come in the past 18 months? We were desperate for games like this, no we still need additional quality but we are continuing to evolve. You really are an embarrassment at times
