Ugh, me too. I suppose that's it for your Premiership hopes then. :(

I am just exhausted after that. A horrible soft goal conceded in the first couple of minutes meant that the rest of the game was just painful. You are clearly miles better than them so it was incredibly frustrating. You have some very talented players but they just couldn't come up with anything in the end. Every shot Leeds took, I think, had so little power behind it that their keeper easily stopped them all. The few shots with power were all over the place.

I am sure that if you look at possession and shots on target Leeds completely dominate, but none of it came to anything, so it was just a really frustrating game to watch.

That moment when Schmeichel came out to collect the ball but ****ed up hardcore was horrific. It was taking place right in front of me and seemed to go on for ages. Really lucky Palace didn't get anything from it.

Besides those things, I don't know what to say. I love Robert Snodgrass but he just looked tired and frustrated near the end. I don't think Billy Paynter is good enough. Max Gradel was excellent -- he was doing something right I think every time I saw him. Lichaj, Johnson, all good players. I don't know. I think you really missed Becchio.

I will say, though, that I really enjoyed your supporters. I sat in the corner next to them and wow, they were SO LOUD! Everyone was standing up for the entire game and singing for like 99% of it. I've never heard it so loud at a football game. That was quite cool. Learned some new songs as well :)
 
Mixed emotions regarding the Championship here. Glad Norwich won and that Nottingham seem to have rediscovered their form just in in time. Sad that Sheffield United are as good as down, after today's results.

Also happy that Barnet are still in with a shout of escaping the Division two relegation trap doors.
 
I think our hopes of getting playoffs have now gone. There is still a chance but it's very, very slim and relying on other teams around us dropping points. It's just so Leeds to consistently stay in the playoffs for a good portion of the season, only to drop out right near the end.

Our supporters are fantastic, because we're not Premier League the only access to away matches is listening to us on the radio and every time I listen we're outsinging the home support.

We are prone to vulnerability without Becchio. He was absent on Friday against Reading as well and although we were the better team there was something lacking in our attack.
 

I caught the second half of the Reading game and I think that game was similar, although you were better there. You should have won that one really (I thought) but I can certainly see Becchio as a reason for never scoring from any of those chances.

Well done to you anyway, you've just come up from League One so being in such a high position for so long is an accomplishment. I was really hoping you'd go up but that was probably an unrealistic expectation and I think you've had a better season than a lot of people thought you would have.

To be honest the thing I'm most disappointed about is that I'll barely get to see any games on TV while you're in the Championship! I've seen maybe 3 this year (plus the FA Cups games vs. Arsenal) but I'd love to have seen more. Really frustrating attempting to semi-keep up with a team that isn't in the Premier League..
