Not too confident, think we'll struggle to get the ball in the net in the next few weeks. Relying heavy on old pro's, who can do it one off but over a few games I think they and we will tire. Clough could make the difference and maybe Wilkinson too. But not too sure either will feature tomorrow though, not from the start. Think it will be a tight game, 1-1. Can see either side maybe nicking a winner, hope its us. We really need to win to think about playoffs but I'm not looking that far ahead. Called this one pretty spot on. Sorry to sound confrontational but couldn't agree with this. Strikers in this league are vital. Look at Derby, Ipswich and Burnley from last season. Yes few clubs have done well without a great partnership but strikers in this division can masque a pretty ordinary side and to be honest that is what we have at the moment. I can't believe Heskey is getting as much game time as he is. It sounds fickle after the Blackburn game but as I say I thought we would use him as a Plan C really. And when do Danns and Feeney really add to goals, one to two a season literally. We have relied on Pratley and thats never going to be the road to promotion. No Clough today, strange as the home fans must have been wanting to see his name more than any other. Pretty annoyed with the result, especially when you look at Leeds away record(and league position). I just don't feel like we have the legs to start a serious promotion push, we're still looking over our shoulder at the bottom three and while I don't think for one moment we'll get dragged back in it I do think we're finding it increasingly difficult to score the goals that will get us the win and take the pressure off. First penalty we've conceded in a long while, they were pretty much nailed on with Baptiste, Knight and Mears at the back.

Started badly and the penalty knocked us back even more, don't think it was a penalty We had enough chances in the first half to get back into it but they were from defenders on set pieces mainly
Don't think Heskey or Gudjonson did enough over the full game, impact subs for me, We could see how paper thin our squad is today, our midfield without Chungy or the injured Clough offered little going forward
Thought Lennon could have started the second half with Cravies instead of Heskey and again for me Trotter, all though he has improved slightly, should only be used late on in games to protect a lead Vela prob our best player today

Beltin read that OoMac I think February will be a difficult month for us, having said that, some of the teams in them fixtures that are fancied to do well in this league, aren't really doing that well themselves, so you never know. I too am disappointed with the result but I did predict a tough encounter. It's looking increasingly likely that we will finish the season in mid table obscurity, unless, of course, NL is allowed to spend money we haven't got to give us that extra spark, but I do hope he stays for next season, then we can really start to see his team take the league by storm!!!!

The wind always ruins games at the ReeMac. It makes the game much harder for the players than it looks from the stands. The Eidur strike that was deflected was amazing! Hope he gets a few more chances like that at Liverpool. (Just purchased our tickets and free coach travel - ST holders today) Extended highlights link below. Real bad luck for Zach and us - up to three weeks out according to BN. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7POv5j-rJdA
