...seriously.

A draw at Elland Road would have been an ok result considering we had injuries to...

Keane, Scholes, Veron.

When Butt got injured and went off they scored.

Of course the worrying thing is how long we'll be without our 4 first choice/back-up central midfielders.

Here's a thought, play our central midfielders in our reserve team there and leave the other first teamers where they are. We have nothing to lose.

I'd rather Becks at RM and Phil at RB. O'Shea is NOT a fullback. So O'Shea instead of Blanc as the CB pairing.

Can't Stewart and Fletcher or Timms be given a chance to shine?

And please NEVER play Chadwick again. I'd rate Richardson as a much better prospect than him anyday.
 
Agree with you that we played well.

Thought it was a matter of when, not if, we scored a couple up until we lost Nicky and they scored.

We were unlucky with finding Robinson continuing his fine form in goal. But for him and Woodgate, we would have been 3 up by half time.

We were also denied a clear penalty in the first half when Butt was clearly impeded.

But there you go.

If we keep playing like that, it will start to go right. More so as people come back from injury.

We must though win our next 2 league games.
