Rovers and JDT got the win despite not the best performance..we played better and lost. Midweek championship games are about getting the job done. 2 good goals and we conceded a poor one. Tronstad my player of the match. Wahlstedt had a good game. Sigurdsson good also. Good to see Ennis played 45 mins Let's go and positive result at Southampton

Dale Benkenstein is supposedly the Head coach taking over.

Not for me. They have quality forwards and that was the different between the teams as I said yesterday. We creating more than just that header. Brittain chance in 58 mins, Hill and Carter headers, Szmodics shot first half that was blocked

We signed players to play a style of play and we are playing it very well. We don't have the squad to play direct or defensive football

So you honestly thought we were outclassed by Leeds then?

So what formation are we playing if Ennis and Telalovic are starting?

why? we weren't outclassed by Leicester or Leeds and created more chances than them in those games but their overall squad quality is better than we have as a team currently. so you don't enjoy our clear style of play and signing players that fit those tactics? I remember when people on here were complaining about Mowbray not having a deffo clear style of play and tactics. we deffo do now

JDT is doing a brilliant job to be honest. We have a clear style of play and we stick to it. We don't have the squad to play a direct style or play long ball tactics. I enjoyed how we played and the movement and skill we played with is a great to watch. Its how I want us to play.

Emery is proving people wrong and he is producing a very good organised team at Villa.

I am not angry or discouraged by today's performance. cos overall, I thought we played well. Approach play good but for me taking Leonard off at half time was a mistake cos he is the man we need in the box second half to convert our approach play chances. I would have like us signed someone like Pukki in the summer who gives you proven striker and goalscorer but didn't happen as we all know. For me the main difference between the two teams was Leeds quality up front was the difference between the 2 teams. Leeds are structured and organised with pace wide to burned. Plus quality on the bench like Gnorto and Spence. We don't. Brittain playing wide left. Shouldn't be happening. Didn't mind it against Stoke cos it stop Hoever influencing the game but now need changing. I thought the foul on Garrett was deffo a penalty plus the handball want to see again cos no clear foul. Tronstad our best player today. Anyway lets move on and go and beat Bristol City on Tuesday

You look at Stokes as Captain he has ideas but other people suggest ideas or plans to him whether it Root, Bairstow, Leach, Broad or Anderson I think Crawley or Pope will be white ball captain shortly

Maybe so but we have experience cricketers like Livingstone, Duckett, Crawley and Curran who could suggested things to Buttler during the game.

surprised by this. I'm not sure changing manager is going to solve the problems. They need investment in January. Going back Wilder isn't the answer either

he has gone off the boil in the last 18 months. Why didn't he bowl Jacks and even Brook medium pace. I didn't see the game but it appears the wicket needed England to take pace off the ball

3 spinners in the team and 3 pace bowlers.

Its a new start and I like the batting line up.

After watching their second goal, its obvious a foul and how the ref can not see that is unbelievable. Yet again another poor ref at this standard. Time Howard Webb sorted this out big time

It has snowed in Clayton Le Moors so I guess it has there. I would stick to the Motorway travel wise. Roads will be clear.

Lancashire any closer to appointing a new head coach yet? Any links?

He has moved on to play PL football and fair play to him. He has made mistakes but he has had a good season there.

We might have beat if the ref had given the blatant foul

No Jim. Beat by bad ref. For JDT to lose his temper so badly shows how bad he was. Others have commented how shit the ref was today.

no Jim, Its what actually happened during the game. What do you honestly think JDT got sent off for? Carter is almost 24 years old and played over 120 games Wahlstedt is 24 years old and played over 120 games. Moran and Leonard are 20 years old. hardly kids are they?
