Yeah being southern based this is a local ish game for me
Good game two good goals from morison thought we had a lot of the play as well
But holloway at the end bit what was he on
Thought overall we were comfortable without actually doing anything of note
Thoughtb we were comfortable tbh without actually
Doing anything im first 20 mins palace scored and we struggled a bit but never out of game
We got a deserved equaliser and a 2 Nd soon
After couldn't hold on tho n
It's been similar in the last few away games, have looked much more comfortable defensively but still don't create that much going forward.(But like I say, better than losing every away game like we were around the end of December.) Peltier has been excellent alongside Lees in central defence since Warnock started playing him there.

So now 2 home games in the next week, Peterborough and Huddersfield which should both be winnable but of course can never tell in the Championship - need to win them both to keep any vague hope of the playoffs alive!

Bolton leading 2/1 fs 2/2
Wolves leading 2/1 fs 2/2
Leicester leading 1/0 fs 1/1
Palace leading 2/1 fs 2/2

That's 8 points dropped from leading positions

Sounds like another game we are missing chances
Hit bar but are missing mcCormack & morsion
Dominating game but not really creating much

Awful display today, as soon as I saw the starting lineup we were going to struggle, today just proved that he playoffs were never in reach. Lets just hope that this result sees the end of warnock and bring someone else in to assess the squad and prepare for next season.

Looks like Leeds new owners were yet another get rich quick bunch of cowboys from abroad.

The Bahrain-based group completed a protracted sale from former Leeds owner Ken Bates in late December for a "bargain" price, but are now in negotiations to sell their stake in LUFC Holdings, the club's parent company, for £7 million more than they paid.
Hoping for a £7m profit after three months. How are these people allowed to own our clubs?

The more sceptical amongst us think....

A-No new buyer would do bussiness with Bates.
B-Bates does a deal with GFH to buy club (possibly on his behalf)
C- Leeds under GFH attract buyers/investors that wouldn't touch Bates
D- GFH sell club on Ken's behalf.

This is what I have thought from the beggining.

Warnock should go now. He's the pits. Martin O'Neill is available.

Seems there are some rumours tonight that Warnock has walked!

Only 4 months too late if it's true - it was obvious to most of the fans that he didn't have a hope of getting us anywhere this season back in December.

Yep he has gone it is on the BBC now. Farewell then Neil. I wish him well but I think it is probably for the best because it wasn't working out.

I also wish Warnock well .

The spotlight is now on GFH, whoever they appoint will give fans a clearer picture on their ambition and intentions for the club.

Think we need to be realistic here we not going to get the likes of o Neil and de Matteo not sure about McDermott
But need someone who will work with a restricted budget
But with about 4 exceptions byram(who i will be very surprised if he is still there )lees, mcCormack & Morison
The rest can go average lower league championship players or L1 standard so whoever comes in is going to have a big job to do

I'd also add Dawson to the list of players I'd keep, I thought he played well on his debut, he showed his battling side and today was a good experience for him.

Warnock has clearly failed this season. 12th? Nowhere near good enough. Brian Mcdermott may be a good bet for you guys next?

Don't get to many games so until yesterday I didn't realise how. Bad we really are couldn't put two passes together all afternoon
God knows how we scored deserved nothing In my opinion
Some were saying we might go down lucky I think there are 3 teams worse than us but the Sheffield Wednesday game on sarurday lunchtime is now a must win game and we need something from burnley 3 days later do that and think we will be ok
But on yesterday's performance that's a big IF

Yes this season is a write off, but the good news is it is nearly at an end.

Yeah yesterday was typical of performances in the last few months, no surprise we havent won away since early December. Completely agree we didnt deserve anything from the game, I would have been very happy if we had held on for a point but of course that wasn't to be.

I reckon we'll just about do enough to avoid any real relegation threat this season (but only because of the results we managed to pick up prior to selling Becchio) but with this squad we're in real danger next season without big changes, Warnock has basically left us with a squad that has more chance of getting relegated than promoted - selling Becchio really has turned us in to relegation contenders.

Ah well, hope you had a decent day out yesterday anyway.

We have good strikers in McCormack & Morrison but they are not recieving any decent service and we are lacking creation in midfield. I think we will survive.

I agree McCormack is a good player, not so sure about Morison just yet, but yeah the biggest problem at the moment is the midfield, we have no creativity/pace at all in midfield plus no proper wide players so no width either.

Needs sorting in the summer!

Morison looked totally disinterested or annoumous yesterday
Having seen him at palace few weeks ago thought he was our best player then yesterday he might as well not been I pitch
As for warnock saying we got best deal in the becchio deal
Who is he trying to kid with the exception of
McCormack yesterday the rest looked like they struggle in l1
Which is where the likes of varney pearce & the rest should be


As for the claim we need 3 players well that's true
3 at back 3 in middle 3 up front
