I reckon we will draw. Seems a bit like Lambert in that he will keep getting the bare minimum number of points not to get sacked, without ever doing any good.

I think the difference is in comparative budgets.  He’s inherited a squad that had a lot of money spent on it and was then given more to spend himself.  Injuries have been cruel to him, but I think most of our squad have regressed since he’s been here.

I agree. Just don't feel that Purslow will be willing to admit his mistake yet.

What is the Leeds Mings song mentioned in the match thread? How offensive is it?

Didn’t hear one today but last year it was “Tyrone Mings… fucking shit”
They sang it plenty of times today
Sound wasn’t on that loud in the pub

They only don’t like him because they’re racist


I had a look on one of their messageboards, it appears they don’t like him for being dirty in previous matches from what I can tell.

Will we be able to bore our way to 40 points and safety?

Yes

But the next 32 points might be a strain to watch.

Have a look. I didn’t get the impression it’s race related.

Why is it only Mings they target in this way?

I was thinking this was like the Lambert years earlier. Had very little expectation of a good performance today but thought we might sneak something and that would do. It is so fucking tedious and the sooner this manager pisses off the better.

England player and he has had a few scrapes with Leeds?

What scrapes has he had with them compared to any of our other players? In my opinion Mings gets grief because he is "outspoken". That is to say, he is an articulate anti racist. If folks don't like that, as Leeds fans don't seem to, I think it's worth pointing out.

Why wasn't Chambers on the bench and what has Gerrard got against Cam Archer?

I would if there happened to be evidence, that’s why I had a look what was said on the Leeds site.
