BoIIocks Harrogate, it was having the beating of our full backs in the first half which gave you the real advantage. Nothing to do with spies or anything like that. Better team on the night won. It's a simple game.

I'd say it was tongue in cheek Spart, don't bite the cheek.

I don't know Igor he took a huge demotion to take on Leeds can't think a decent club won't come in for him especially now he's on the radar in Europe.

He can be a bit volatile too.

Definitely think Bogle is better than Lowe. Bogle can at least pass the ball to another Derby player.

Lowe is a bit like a rabbit in the headlights right now, I still think there's potential there. He's best when he attacks though and just seems to have lost the confidence to do this.

Demotion from who exactly? He wasn’t at a club!

Strange comment

We get this to 1-1, it's a draw.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oops

Argentina, Chile, Bilbao, Lazio, Marseille, Lille were his former clubs to say Leeds are in that mix is a bit strange.

I imagine when he was thinking of next moves Leeds wasn't on the radar. I may be wrong though.

Not really.
You've seen his CV ? The Championship was not an obvious move

Beat me to it Wellies, despite the jet-lag

Seems like that remark has gone over the head stoopo, at the time I was stating the obvious with a little tongue in cheek.

I'll get you back tomorrow, though 😆

We were rubbish tonight. Hindsight is wonderful though. Huddlestone was missed from the start. Theres my hindsight. Not read much of what has been said but Bielsa is Argentine so why be surprised at what he does? Lampard has learnt a lot in a short time. Anything gained this year is a bonus. Wait till next year.

Work away Ang

Good to have Backo's positivity. Glad I didn't moan too much about the result

Rubbish.

Say no more.

Can't moan about the result, the Derby performance however is another matter.

My glass is always half full.

And I top mine up regularly and still I'm not happy.

To be fair, whilst Leeds probably take it to an extreme, I do think we fit the Bielsa mould for a club. A big club who underachieve and don't hit their full potential. There are reasons that he's never managed a properly big club.

Use a smaller glass then,

Still would be half full...

I'm with backo. What's everyone slashing their wrists for? Just because we aren't sweeping all before us, it's whinge whinge whinge. We are in transition, again, but I would rather have Frank in charge than any of Rowett, Wassal, Pearson, Clement, Clough, Davies or McClaren. In McClarens first season when he took over from Clough, we killed it and I genuinely believe we were the best side in the league that year and had McClaren been there from the start, we would have been promoted as champions at a canter, but since then, the football served up had ranged from functional at best to turgid at worst. Frank is having to change the ethos of the club again in his first managerial job. Where we are now and what we are doing is, for me, a fantastic return on his first half season. Sure, there have been some bad perfomances, there have been some acceptable ones, and there have been some outstanding ones. Consistency is the key and we haven't quite got there yet, we have shown we are more than capable of hanging with the best in this division, and also teams from the one above, but we have also lost to some utterly dire teams as well. That will come with time as Frank has more of it to coach his methods and philosophy into the players. Look at Norwich as an example, they were nowhere last season but are now flying in farkes second season.

Frank has got it. He was a world class player under some of the best in the game. Have faith. He will get it right, be it this season or the next.

Maarnin' all.
Evening Harps & well said. Clearing out the wardrobe is obviously good for the thought processes
