NL, per Twitter.
It was individual errors which cost us against Burnley and it's a real shame because we were excellent. We just have to keep passing the message onto the players that they're doing well and we have to believe we will be rewarded.
Saturday against Leeds will be a great occasion and it's a game that we're all relishing. It's a big week for us coming up - the games all winnable and we need to pick up points to keep the pressure on the teams above.
Steve Evans has done a good job at Leeds. They had a disappointing performance v Brighton, but everyone has results like that.
From our point of view, we need some stability and transparency at the club.
The Burnden Disaster was a black day in the club's history - the memorial next week will be a significant moment for us all. These kind of incidents will always bring people together, but ultimately it shouldn't take that.

Speaking of the Burnden disaster.......
I'm on secondment to a client working near Waterloo station. Today, over lunch, we were discussing football teams. One of the blokes is a Leeds/ Bradford City sometime follower and was in the stand at Bradford when it went up in flames in '85. The other is a southern Scouser who happened to be in the Leppings Lane Stand at Hillsborough.
Never going to the football with these two.

You don't want to go with Neil Lennon either. Very slim chance of seeing a win.Gary the Enfield wrote:Speaking of the Burnden disaster.......

It's just that 17 of the 21 have been for the other buggers.

Snow stopped play? Have they heard of underfloor heating at Elland? (no, don't panic. I'm joking)
It's coming down thick and fast here, right now..

And so to the game. Will subsquent events at the Macron Auction Rooms have any affect on the gladiators or will Trotter Trading Consortium lift us up to the heights of ....er, well, a bit higher points wise than we are now? I'll predict a spirits-raising, thumping win. 3-0 to the Supers...

Woolery with a late, very late winner. 1-0. A brief moment of light and hope following the dark winter, sadly to be extinguished at home next Tuesday.
