    Just logged on to get the general view, and surprised it's not more positive. Been a good 30 mins overall - with a bit more luck we'd be 2 or 3 goals to the good by now.

    Grimes is delighted to be here

    It proves the argument that when a good player moves from a small club to a big club they suddenly get international recognition.

    If they'd released it in an half-arsed state it would have been badly received, especially given the backlash around the mock-up of the interface they'd previously revealed. I'm still a little worried they might be dumbing it down, which for a statto like me would be a game killer, but at least...

    Thomas, MVE, and even the usually consistent Bidwell are having real off days. Add in Dovin's erratic showing and today's non-existent strike 'force', and we're lucky to be only 2 down.

    We've struggled against a good press for 18 months or more, and we never seem to get better against it.

    Even their first long ball has been far more accurate than any of ours. This is truly abysmal.

    I'm not writing this off just yet, but without wishing to state the obvious we need to get to half time without conceding another, and I'm not sure that's likely on this showing

    Could Leeds get two 7-0s in a row? I wouldn't bet against it.

    They're a better team than us, and there's no shame in that. A lack of fight and effort, however, isn't acceptable. Plenty of time to turn the game around, but needs a real shift in attitude. We're treating them with far too much respect.

    At least Kitching is showing some aggression. Oh ffs. Piroe scores as I type. Bastard

    Feels like we're the away team at the moment. They're winning all of the loose balls.

    This could be a very boring game from our perspective. Leeds are one of those possession hungry teams who win through the war of attrition.

    Swap most of the first XI for the bench and it's still a pretty decent Championship team, goalkeeper aside.

    I gave in and bought a new laptop, primarily for FM. I used to think my processing speed wasn't too bad, but even a mid-range modern laptop is insanely quick nowadays. Barely even a pause between days now. Revolutionised my FM experience.

    Assuming we win, that's 24 points from 13 games under Lampard. That's autos form. Lovely stuff.
