Duff was around £17m, wasn't he? Losing Duff and Wharton hurt bad. Can't watch Palace games.

Where can I watch the goals?

'Celebrating' 150 years in the League One would be so sad btw. Waggott and Venky's have to back Eustace now.

I think I might have aged 10+ years after watching that game. So much at stake for both teams, and to be the first team to beat Leeds at Elland Road this season is some achievement. Leeds have looked leggy recently, but they had one extra day's rest and we made only one change from our battering at Bristol C. Unfortunate results around us but teams are fighting tooth and nails and there are about five or six good teams and the rest are, bar Rotherham, can beat anyone on any given day. The top three are feeling the pressure of facing the desperate teams like ourselves and all of a sudden dropping points all over the place. What a league! Sheff W was apparantly better than Stoke so they've improved a lot from earlier in the season, but I think we'll be confident going into that game, and will probably continue in the same shape and try and hit them on the break. It's a must-win for them so they must open up. Szmodics player of the match and player of the season. What a man! Top marks for everyone involved. I have to admit I thought Leeds would adjust and beat us in the second half.

Does anyone think we'd do worse under JDT?

Eustace 'sort of' apologised in his post-match interview. Hyam is the one that should come out and say something, that was a shockingly poor performance, even by his low standards (judged on this season).

Fair point. But last night Eustace tried to adjust tactically and only made matters worse. Makes me more than sceptical about the rest of the season.

Three out of four of our defenders had one or more sloppy back passes. The fourth was subbed off at HT.

You think we looked switched on prior to that? Hyam had two back passes that just barely made it to our GK before he cocked things up. We couldn't cope with the fast pitch, we're such a slow bunch.

No options on the bench either. Wearing rubber thin. Park the bus at Elland Road and setup as well as we can for the Owls match at Ewood?

Hyam has been shocking all season except for a short stint of games up until tonight. Not fit to wear the armband. How the hell is our most important player running around the pitch for the full 90 minutes? If Szmodics suffers an injury it's all over. Can't manage individual mistakes like the ones Hyam made tonight, but the changes at half-time was capitulation. Pretty crazy.

Practice session for the Leeds game at this point. Think we've given up. Let down by Hyam. Again.

What if it's a home game?

Hmmmm... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24241946.eustace-hints-blackburn-rovers-change-injury-blow/ Three CBs then?

We owe Coventry a beating and a half with their hope still remaining.

QPR on 44 points before this round, Plymouth on 45. PNE turning things around versus Huddersfield, never thought I'd cheer for them. Need a miracle from Leicester to make it a pretty good night. It will go down to the wire.

Nope.

If we want to look up the table I think I would look to offload Travis and Bucko. JRC is good and versatile, but a bit too injury prone.

Should look to win this. Bristol City with nothing left to play for this season. We're up for it, we don't look a nervous bunch at the moment.

I think we need to trade Travis into someone cheaper and equally good, or better. That shouldn't be a huge problem. If it was true that him and JDT didn't see eye to eye, it looked like he had a lot of support from the player group, so they obviously rate him. S. Wharton came out with some pretty damning comments too, which I thought was a bit over the top to be honest. He's a pro... If SW is in charge of negotiating then it will be a long summer before we get a striker in, if at all. Szmodics I would ask north of £10m for, he might have had a clause inserted as he was already in red-hot form when he signed his new deal. We really shouldn't stand in his way if he wants to leave, he's been carrying us all season. But don't let him go to a division rival please.

I actually don't think he'd cost too much. £500-750k?

Same team with Chrisene in for Pickering. We should try and sign him on a permanent, shouldn't be too expensive.

It's not about Eustace at this point, it's about the strained relationship between the club and the fans and he happens to be in the crossfire. With good results people will start forgetting again and the atmosphere will change.

Definitely. Agree with both your posts.

We look a lot better with four at the back and with Tronstad back in the team. Think McFadzean might not play for us again if we avoid injuries/suspensions for Hyam, Wharton and Carter.
