Me neither, he’s a solid defender totally committed and like you say loves playing for us. Over all the full backs we’ve had over the last 10 years he’s been the most consistent.

That 2nd half made believe that we can rally challenge now. It was a really great effort after an appalling 1st 45

Disappointed not to win tonight however it is important that if you can not win you must not lose. The other plus is coming back from 1 down away from home and saving a point. Good things are happening.

Cardiff are showing sort of resilience that I didn't expect from them but there are still 26 games to go. We need to keep 2 points per game yield level now for the remaining 26.

I'm not SB's biggest fan. However, at this moment in time, we need to cut him some slack. For instance, who else can he play as one of the CB's other than Samba or Elphick? Again, up front, in the long run, I don't think Davis will make it. He's not very quick, doesn't have an eye for goal and, I'm not sure he's much of a bully to defenders either.(Really hope he proves me wrong though). However, again, who else have we got for that role at the moment. We can only hope that SB can bring in a good striker in early January that will hit the ground running. Someone with a bit of pace would be great. Another good CB would be useful too.
I think we have a choice of some good players already for the midfield places. The way I see it, barring more injuries, if we can get to January, only 5/6 points behind second place we will be in a great position to push for that spot with a couple of astute signings and, some of the players coming back from injury. Fingers X'd. UTV!!

Davis and Onomah very poor. Games like today you really want a striker on the bench

They both need a kick up the arse

Apparently weve scored as many away goals to date than all of last season

Leeds the best home atmosphere I've seen two seasons running, noisy and passionate, it puts our home support to shame.

But this is all they have left. Their reputation is from their early 1970's sides being a cynical bunch of dirty bastards.

That's all Leeds are - a folk memory.

Watched the game earlier and have only just got back home.  Thought we were the better side overall, but especially so in the second half.  They only really looked threatening off set pieces, whereas we fashioned a couple of chances and Lansbury scored a good goal.  I don't think Onomah in the 'number 10' role is really working at the moment and would like to see either Grealish or O'Hare in there.

As an aside, Leeds are an unpleasant collection of individuals.  Constant fouling and then diving around anytime any one goes near them.  That centre half (who should have been sent off) and the right back with the ponytail are particularly unlikeable.

Can't believe people writing off Davis! Ffs he's only 19! He shouldn't be playing at the moment, but Bruce simply can't rest him - there's no one else! I think he'll be great in 2 years time.

Thought he should have made the changes at half time, I was half expecting them to score again (they did but off side) it was obvious some players were struggling. Davis needs time to mature it's hard holding down a key position at nineteen he's playing against more mature bodies.

we lost in the same fixture last year so this has to be an improvement,especially coming from a goal down and not turning up for an hour.
