    Leicester should have won that. They paid the price for wank finishing then crumbled

    Its how things have been rolling for us lately. Robbed a goal by officials, but Leeds scored 3 anyway. Paid the price for not taking good chances.

    We keep hooking Mavididi then the team collapses once he is off the pitch. Not sure why Enzo is so obsessed with taking him off.

    I think both top two spots are wide open now. We still have a 6 point gap but not momentum.

    First half pretty even, Leicester score from a set piece, we miss a couple of good chances. Second half Leicester dominant, should be 2 up, miss two great chances, then shit themselves last 20.

    Yeah, Leicester was defo unlucky with the disallowed goal. Think a draw would have been fair. Leeds missed a lot of chances first half and same for Leicester second half. Although it’s not right and shows how bad the officials are Leeds we’re due a decision that went there way.

    Without meaning to make it all about ourselves, I'd argue that Ipswich and Southampton were the biggest victims of that robbery. Leicester will probably be fine either way, whereas that was our chance to push Leeds down to fourth and pile on the pressure.

    At least after a wrongly disallowed goal, a bucketload of missed chances and two deflections all going in Leeds' favour, in theory we *should* hear less from the 'Ipswich are the luckiest team in the division' brigade.

    Jammy Leeds by the sounds of it .

    Deflected goals.
    Missed Leicester chances
    Goal wrongly ruled out .

    PNE certainly seem to have found their goals again .

    Think it was a game of two halves. No matter what I say doesn’t reflect that Leicester should have been 2-0 up due to a common bad decision.
    At half time I don’t know how Leeds we’re 1-0 down due to poor forward decisions.
    Second half as Leeds were pushing for the equaliser Leicester should have punished Leeds, but missed a few chances.

    We were shockingly poor, the worst performance since Stoke last season. Preston were better in every aspect. Three mistakes, three terrible goals to give away, why Wilson didn't come a claim the ball and take the man for the first? DaSilva fannying about in the box and I didn't see the 3rd (but it was an OG), I went for a beer and a pie.

    Preston fans were good though it helps being 3-0 before HT.

    I'm praying Saka is ok after being taken off on a stretcher after a heavy landing on his back.

    Thought Albion edged the first half, even second half. Two teams trying not to lose.

    Draw was about fair in the end. Not a bad result for either side, keeps us in the play-off spots for now.

    Big, big upcoming match against Preston. A defeat there invites them right into the mix. A win sets up nicely for the last 11 matches. We still have to play Leicester, Leeds, and Coventry from there.

    Plymouth absolutely battering us in the first half, lucky to be only 0-2

    This is so typical of us lately. Completely dominant, Birmingham score with their first shot on target. They’ve done nothing but we haven’t put away our chances so only have ourselves to blame

    Absolute shite first half from us. Martin still persisting with the inverted full back shite.

    Scrappy old game at Blackburn, bit of a weird one too. We've probably edged the play and scored the goal and whilst Rovers have been awful they've still forced Gunn into some good saves. Blackburn okay on the attack and awful at the back, would imagine they'll change gameplan at half time, can see a few goals in the second half that's for sure.
