TM, we've signed Jack Hunt on loan. Thoughts? McLaughlin looked quality on his debut, but sadly he's injured so we've brought in Hunt to replace him. My only memory of Hunt is the game last season, at Oakwell where he played really well.

You aren't far wrong, although a point was probably fair. You were easily the better team in the first half, and we took the lead against the run of play. We changed it at half time, Dawson went off and Digby came on. He sat in front of the back four as you were embarrassingly walking through our midfield in the first half, and did exactly what we needed. We stepped it up and got a penalty, albeit a soft one and then we went on to have some good chances after that and could've won it.

P.s. thank f*ck Josh King didn't play. That lad rips us to shreds every time he plays against us.

Yeah mate gutted I missed the game but I have seen the highlights and it looked like dunn got away from dawson far to easy for the goal and cairney scored a worldie! and the penalty was very soft spurr hardly touched Lawrence but you deserved the goal at the time and I know josh king has been struggling with injury but he was on the bench and as we started the game with no recognised wingers and his record against you in the past I would have thought he would have played

Attacking full-back. Exhilarating going forward. A lot to learn defensively (though he knows it - seeing him berate himself after an error is a regular occurrence). Give him time to get fit and he'll be a tremendous acquisition.

Love it, Leeds potentially getting an Italian owner so the fans grow a pair and protest in true Italian style.

For those that don't know Cellino's the nutjob that owns Cagliari. In the last couple of seasons he's illegally built a stadium, spent time in jail as a result and sent his team to play in Trieste, pretty much as far from Cagliari as it's possible to get without leaving Italy.

Leeds are trying to get McDermott back.

This is all bizarre.

He was definitely sacked. Eddie Gray came on TalkSport and told Collymore that McDermott had rung him last night saying he'd been sacked but now the club are saying he's still the manager.

One of Cellino's lawyers sacked him but had no authorities to do so, so he's still in charge, that's how I understood it

Good win over Blackpool today! Blackpool were a very poor team though only having one shot on target all game which was a 35 yarder that nearly caught Robinson out. David Dunn scored a great goal with his left foot running along way before hitting a shot with his left foot in the corner awful defending by Blackpool though they made a half hearted attempt at tackles the second half was very poor but Conway did well coming off the bench on debut and setting up the 2nd goal for Hanley off a corner which was a good header! Blackpool were awful 2nd half we didn't play too well but we did enough to win and keeps us going in the play off hunt !

Reportedly, that's what happened, which seems an absurd way to go out business.

In one of the articles I've seen, it said he's received two suspended jail terms for false accounting and for deceiving money out of the EU and the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, and is on trial for embezzlement in stadium construction. Given the Football League rules state those with criminal convictions can't own clubs, appointing him can only cause even more problems.

I thought our club was in a mess but fucking hell.

Apparently I'm talking to myself. No different to a day in the office.

Good win today in awful conditions. Town v Wigan should have been a match between two footballing sides, but the wind and rain put paid to that. We deserved the win against a side who couldn't muster a single shot on target. We used the conditions well (Norwood's 40-yard screamer nearly breaking the woodwork was just one example of us being prepared to have a go), and it paid off with Clayton's 25-yard winner. And what a difference it makes when you have all your best players back! Bring on Nottingham Forest!

I Went to Middlesbrough away today, overall a good point but we played awful and Given hardly touched the ball where as Robinson in net for us made some fantastic saves and really kept us in it ! Todd Kane got ripped apart by Carayol in the 1st half and was subbed off at half time but Carayol must have skinned him at least 8 times in the 1st half ! It's a good away point and Hanley and Kilgallon were solid again in centre back ! Keeps us a point closer to the play offs and gives us a chance. We signed Luke Varney a few hours before kick off too and he came on for the last 15 minutes hopefully he can do well for us till the end of the season. Our passing was too slow though and we just kept going back to the keeper or the defenders too hoof it out of play.

It's one of those results which isn't bad on paper, a bit like when we drew with Derby a couple of weeks back, but doesn't really offer too much encouragement due to how we played. Didn't sound great today.

Positives - Robbo, another clean sheet (thanks to Robbo anyway), Reading lost so we are a point closer to 6th yeah even if we slipped a place and teams around us have games in hand.

yeah as you say was a good result but we offered nothing and hardly had any chances at all !

Robbo was fantastic, it was good that reading lost and went down to 10 men we have them away next which is a massive game and can't afford to lose that one really!

Holding ground - yellow card. Elbow to head knocking opposition player unconscious - no foul. Foul five yards inside the box - free-kick five yards outside the box. Breaking up three attacking moves by getting in the way of the ball. Just a few of Nigel Miller's highlight's from tonight. The incident which saw Hogg KO'd by Karl Darlow was a certain red and changed the game completely. Where they get these monkeys from is beyond me. Can't get worse, surely.

Well, we have Deadman on Saturday, so that's anyone's guess...
