Grim reading but......................
Leeds have won none of their last seven meetings with Blackburn, losing five of them. Their last win was 2-1 at Ewood Park in the Premier League in April 2004.
•Blackburn have won their last two visits to Elland Road, scoring five goals and conceding just once.
•Leeds are without a win in their last five games, since winning 2-1 at MK Dons on 19 September.
•Leeds have failed to win any of their last 11 games at Elland Road, losing six of them. Their last home win was 2-1 against Ipswich on 4 March.
So..........All to play for then, I'm sure Blackburn will fancy their chances, but so will we, after a few impressive performances, all we need to do is start converting some of our chances ito goals ............ simples
Over to You................I'm going 2-0 to Leeds Botaka and Dallas.........................................
Predictions Welcome............................
Steve Evans wants ER Rocking, so he'll need to give the Fans something to "Rock" for .
Come Onnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

Lorra, hit it on the head: no character.
In the team or the owner.

Whelan talks such sense - if the long ball's not working after 15 minutes, change the tactics. Does no-one say the same to the players in the dressing room? Did Evans not say it. I know f**k all about football but I know that makes sense. It's basic stuff

There are simply no excuses for this abject and inept display of crap football. None at all. We have a mammoth task to stay in this league

League 1 beckons. Their left back had more shots on target than us collectively. Most of our lads are too busy pruning themselves. Glad I didn't pay to watch that crap.

Whelan is a great commentator, he really is, he talks so much sense

We needed a Rudi tonight

Rudi got us out of trouble time & time again. His departure hasn't helped our plight one bit & has left a gaping hole in the park . A joey barton, forestieri, lindbombe could have got us out of jail perhaps?? No strength in depth & lack of pace is killing this club as is the man at the helm. Can only hope evans is given the opportunity to strengthen in vital areas as he mentioned in his interview tonight without interference.

Watched the game with a bunch of other Leeds fans in New York.
We were all gobsmacked at how terrible that was.
One of the worst games I have ever watched.
Just seemed hopeless throughout.
