I go as far as Stourbridge quite often with the odd foray to Brierley Hill, but beyond there its just depressing.

Reckon most Baggies would see themselves more Black Country than Brummie.

People forget or never witnessed that both Cork and Schneiderlin were holding players. We’re way more lightweight than we were then.

Man’s a fucking twat

Indeed, talking of stinking the place out we did that in the Prem last season. So far adrift most would have looked at us this season and had us Norwiching or Watfording or for that matter Bristol Citying, and we’re not.

I SRL, Schneiderlin, Lallana at his peak, even Guly do Prado, Fonte, Cork, Kelvin Davis. No one of the quality of KWP, but the sum of all the parts was better than we have this season.

We never were. Just the musings of 12yr olds or those with12 yr old mentalities.

What’s she got a beard and three tits or something?

Why would you do that anyway? They’ve been saying for weeks this would happen. Maybe they’re not bad judges of RMs flat track bullies. The Graeme Hick of Championship. Seriously though, this defines us from here on in. Monkey off our back or blueprint for the rest of the season? Over to you RM.

That has been the unspoken bit of our season.

All of that. Leeds will hit a rough patch.

Not good enough full stop against decent sides all season. Funny how it goes tits up either side of the transfer window.

Miles off Saturday got lucky, miles off it tonight. Playing catchup now. According to Leeds fans on social media they’ve already been promoted so we were only ever playing for the play offs. Lots of water to flow under the bridge.

Not at all. Saw some stats published at weekend had him in a list within top players in Europe for ball retention. Just reporting what I saw.

Downes is integral to how we play I’m afraid. Up there with the best in Europe re ball retention. No Downes no ball retention. No replacement.

Bang on the money there. 13/30 points thus far against teams in top 10 on Saturday.

He has indeed, but like most fanbases we do love to apportion blame and responsibility when things don’t go our way. Not sure its always productive.

At least we’ve established who tonight’s scapegoat is.

He does indeed.

Common denominator is absence of Flynn Downes.

I was there too. First away match. As I've mentioned before it was scary for my 9 year old self to be surrounded by so many who sounded like they were pirates. They f**king looked like them as well.

I bet he was and quite rightly so. Should have multi quoted it for context. Response to a poster at HT said the first half performance was why Leeds would finish second. Turned out alright in the end and that half of football wont be the reason why Leeds may well finish second, but to an extent we are still in the driving seat.

This could be a real turning point. One of those games where a good side wins despite not really firing on all cylinders

So I was right at HT then, just an infantile knee jerk reaction!

Agreed. The learning is all part of Russell Martin's modus operandi, so that won't have done us any harm at all.
