Looked like a poor game on my Sky Bulgaria feed or whatever it was I found on Wiziwig

Puzzled by some selections, why not start with last weeks X1?

The problem with Granero is he only looks good in brief moments of inspired passing, otherwise he looked lazy and there were too many sub-par performances from Ferdinand, SWP, Mackie, Cisse and Faurlin

Tarrabt looked like he put in a real shift - but only once turned on the switch marked 'magic'

I thought we were well organised and hard to break down but looked like we had settled for a point before half time, a bit more attacking ambition from the players in the second half and it could have been different.

Can't fault the effort but we don't look good enough

A very comfortable win, could easily have been two goals up before the two spectacular goals went in prior to half time. I very good performance, some of the attacking play was very impressive and Dale will always score goals if they maintain that style of play.

I thought Dele was very impressive, in as much, he's a footballer who knows how to deal with the long high balls played to him. I'm glad he scored and it's a pity he didn't beat the goalie when he was through on him.

I don't know why the long high ball was played to Dele's replacement, George Donnelly, as in my opinion he will struggle
against a centre half.

My only real concern was the attendance, there is no way a club can survive on crowds of 1600.

Poor team selection from Warnock contributed to throwing away 3 points. Starting with Austin was a mistake. Dropping Norris was a mistake and starting with Brown was a mistake. Becchio had a great chance to,head. the ball down to Diouf who would have had an open goal to make it 2-0. As often happens with Becchio he made the wrong decision and the chance was lost. Lees made some poor decisions nd was at fault for two of the goals. Sorry but Tom will never be a top class. central defender. He could walk into any League 1.team but that's as far as it goes. Diouf and Thomas were.anonymous. Tatead his worst game in a Leeds shirt. He is far too slow. Deity and Green acquitted themselves. Forest were very. average but were quicker than Leeds. It's worrying that with so many old legs in the team we always run out of steam with 20 minutes to go

Stephane Mbia could end up as a cult figure, huge effort from him today and some interesting characteristics.
Overall a fairly disappointing first half (again)whatever Harry has been saying at half time needs to be said before the game, good to see SWP getting back to some reasonable form and Hill & Mackie as usual put in a decent shift, I thought we deserved at least a point and all three would not have been "nicked"
Foy (and assistants) were dreadful throuout which I find unusual for him, he's fairly solid as a rule.

Bad ref/linesmen decisions.We had our chances but we did not take them. As for the Rob green goal, it was a foul on him but i think Rob greens rep went before him and the the ref thought he bundled it in. Strange goal because if had someone pushing me back as the ball dropped towards me on the goal line ,i would of punched the offender in the back of the head. Lightweight goal.

It took 78 minutes for the manager to see what nearly everyone in the crowd could see that the shocking tactics were not working.
Lambert cannot play up front on his own in this league, none of our midfield are capable of getting beyond him for any headers he wins.
Jayrod should of come on after 60 minutes at least and we may have even won this game.

Having watched it again on MOTD, Green should have been stronger but it was definitely a foul as the attacker was sticking his backside into him. From my position in SA Rd I initially thought that Green was slow to get down for the first goal but it was a great strike from a player who has always been a threat from similar positions. Green actually had a reasonable game as did SWP and even Ferdinand.

First twenty minutes we shaded it and then a goal from nowhere. We then started giving the ball away and WBA looked a good passing team.

Great finish from Cisse, shame we can't give that sort of ball more often and we really should have got something from the game. Handball looked pretty obvious but they defended like we used to in Championship days i.e. getting bodies in the way.

Like last season we aren't making it any easier by losing the games we need three points from.

No lack of effort but sadly not much quality.
Green is always one shot away from a mistake, Fabio and Traore couldn't get forward,Ferdinand's shot to pieces, Faurlin's walking in quicksand,Taarabt had an off day, Mbia is red mist man, theres no forward on the bench and our best player in this match began his carear in 1997 playing for Tranmere.

Awful result in the end. At 3-1 up we should never have drawn this game. We had a whole season's worth of luck in one game and it still wasn't enough for 3 points. Very worrying.
A fantasic cross from Guly for Lambert's opener, and then a huge amount of luck for our 2nd and 3rd goals.

In the 2nd half, why did we keep pumping long balls forward when there was an easy short pass on? Surely Adkins should've told them to try and keep hold of the ball and slow the game down? Adkins' tactics in the 2nd half we're questionable to say the least! It seems he has no clue about how to see a game out.

The turning point was the open goal that Guly missed. It was an absolute sitter and would've put us 4-1 up. Then a minute later Stoke had pulled one back and it was 3-2.
We had even more luck when N'Zonzi was sent off and then moments later Stoke should've had a clear penalty for handball by Fonte.
This is why we are going down. More dropped points from winning positions. We should've beaten Man Utd, Swansea, Norwich and now Stoke. We keep throwing points away and its going to catch up with us. In the bottom 3 now and in serious danger of going down. Can't keep throwing points away.

Saints must buy a keeper in January. Davis was shaky again and his kicking was atrocious!
At least Jack Cork is showing what a great player he is. Tremendous once again in the middle.
