I think too many on here think like binary robots. Football is shades of grey we aren't shit we had a poor game against a very good side. We had 3 quality players out. Just got to move on to the next game now.

Go and read some of my posts on there then. Critisicng the fact we played a high line isn’t me slagging off the manager. You are so precious about it it makes me think you sleep with a Lampard body pillow

Sometimes you just have to accept a team is far better than you especially with the help of parachute payments and premiership players

Least the margin wasn't as big as it should have been. Lampard quite badly exposed tonight though having said that they are just a lot better than us. Lots of players were very poor. All round a disappointing night. Let's make a fist of a play off push but let's be honest we're a very very very long way off still.

Only positives is that the goal difference wasn't worse; Matty Grimes is a different level receiving the ball; Simms held the ball up much better second half. Sakamoto did okay.

Eye-opening really. A level above all over the pitch. Bringing players on with wages so high they could buy a street in Leeds every month. We looked absolutely knackered and in hindsight you approach that game differently.

Second half was much better. We were a bit open, but that's always going to be the case when you're chasing.

Were we really chasing that hard? We still had 5 in defence.

Did you watch the game?? It could EASILY, no, I'll correct that, it SHOULD of been at least 9. Dan James alone should've had 4.

Not disappointed to lose to a team with the calibre of Leeds, they will go up. We weren't going to win every game and still a lot to work on all round.
Disappointed we gave them so much respect in the first half.
The second half was better. Great save from their keeper from Simms' header which could've changed things in a period when we were slightly on top. Great save again at the end from Thomas i think.
I thought Dovin may struggle after that fumble but credit to him, he too pulled off some good saves. Hopefully we take that second half performance and get straight back to it next league game.
Impressed with Grimes.

Even earlier in the season when MR was still in charge he was the same. I’d much rather it was just Clive and Oggy.

Think saying Lampard was exposed is a bit of an overreaction to be honest. We had a bad first half, then we were chasing the game (and playing much better) in the second half. Not at our best, but playing the best team in the league.

Really should have been at least 5 were it not for some decent keeping and poor finishing from them. Even getting 7 again I don't think we could've complained too much.

We did create a couple of good chances ourselves later on, which is a positive. Grimes looks decent, Saka did alright nd Dovin did well after the calamity that was their second.

Time to forget about it and look to the next game. Hang on, they've got Delap up front. Oh fu..

Got to put that down to experience, they have so much quality . It was a wake up call.
No need to be bitter, we are just not at that level, could have done with Haji to offer a proper threat but thats life.
We move on, Ipswich will have class too

2 positives from that game. Dovin had a class game (their 2nd goal aside but that could go down to the entire team that allowed his run from halfway) and secondly, Grimes looks a class act. Every time he had the ball he looked composed amd found a sky blue shirt. Pretty sure he had a 100% pass success rate tonight. He should've started. When he didn't, he should of been bought on at HT

Grimes should of started, Allen and Torp were never going to be at the level required to face Leeds.
BTA was poor on the ball and Simms was shocking first half, but did improve (slightly) second half.

Ipswich won't be that good. Expect them to be nowhere near full strength. Would be disappointed if we don't win.

4-5-1 from the start

Could have been 10-2

he stuck with the same winning team, it didn’t work, he knew what to do and changed it, we looked better…

Isn’t that the sign of a good manager?

If you want a bite you could argue Robins wouldn’t have known what to do and probably made standard 70 minute like for like changes when we were 5-0 down, maybe?

Leeds are just head and shoulders above any other team we’ve played

Tell you what a few chances there should have been goals the stop on the line and the cannon off the cross bar. I thought 2nd half Simms did some decent hold up play too. Overall we absolutely deserved to lose and if it was by 5 I wouldn't be surprised but at least we had chances.

We were unlucky not to score from Simms header, and maybe the one at the corner at the end. They could obviously have had more too.

We've ended up assisting them on both goals. Simms with a killer defence splitting pass for the first and Dovin making sure Bogle had the ball delivered to him on a plate.

There was so much wrong with that goal before it reached Dovin. Not exonerating him but it definitely wasn't all him. Showed character the way he recovered.

Stopped trying?

They could've scored 4 or 5 in the 2nd half!

We were just 'less shit'.
