Leeds will finish 2nd to Huddersfield this season and when the Terriers come here you'll all see why. Leeds, obviously, are going to be one of the best clubs in the league and obviously are going to be able to upstage clubs like us in our current state. Maybe we could have given them a game had we been able to field Kuipers and McNulty and had Poyet had the time to get the team playing the way he wants them to. I'm not too concerned by the result in the slightest, it was inevitable.

That is a very bold statement given how impressive Leeds looked at the weekend and that they are 9 points clear of Huddersfield with a game in hand. Can't see anyone but Leeds being League 1 champions this year. Definitely the best side I have seen since we came back down to this division three and a half years ago.

My view is that it is too easy to say we played badly. Sometimes, no matter what you try or how good your football might have been, superior teams/players won't let you play well because they are sharper and simply have more talent.

The only way we could have done any better on Saturday was if Leeds had had an off day. The quality of our play was totally dictated by the superior quality of theirs.

Exactly. I would only add also that they have confidence in their play, that stems from winning games.

I think we are probably 4-5 1st team players off from being a realastic bet for Promotion. Slade knew that it would be a 2/3 season process, Bloom knows it too. The trick is for Gus (with Blooms wallet) to get us those 4-5 players.
