    I just hope that no one in the football world forgets the unique factor in our current situation and that is the claims of two other EFL members......never done before and will probably never be done again because of rule changes.

     

    We've taken our punishment and probably the longest embargo ever, all the less visible punishments have hurt us as much as the points deductions.

    Have the EFL not noticed that media coverage has lost interest in the promotion race, and is now more interested in DCFC survival fight?? DCFC is the story and the EFL once again just dont get it.

    I think we will survive, but I KNOW, we won't FORGET.

    I won’t forget. I hope “**** the EFL” rings out around PP for years to come, I hope 10000 people from the football community March through Preston to the EFL HQ.

    The Bury MP was right, nobody seems to be going out their way to come up with a solution, it’s all just sound bites

    Just got back into Leeds - what a day that was

    Will begin with the march as it obviously dominated the backdrop to the game. We set off for Assembly Rooms expecting a few hundred die hard (expectations around 1000 I believe) - well, got to the bus station & the noise just hit us. A wonderful display of support - loads of flags, banners & singing - just joyous & if there were less than 10k there, I'd be shocked. There's a little red headed lad who will be very proud of himself tonight - he started 'Since I was Young' when we going under the bridge near the station & 30 seconds later the sound was just exploding off the walls from hundreds singing it. Spine tingling. Outside PP just awesome also - as if you couldn't feel even prouder of who we all support.

    On to the game - I do think the march had sapped some of the energy from the crowd & the occasion seemed to get the players a little with a lot of sloppy passes & poor touches. Birmingham settled much quicker & their physical, relentless press soon had us in trouble. The early goal knocked us out of our stride & to be honest, we were perhaps fortunate not to be further behind with one excellent Allsop save & one fantastic intervention from Bird tracking back to stop a certain one on one. We did have chances - Bird dragged a good opportunity wide & Lawrence's late free kick nearly yielded an opening but it had been a below par display & we had offered little overall.

    Second half I expected changes but we were still off it & the second Birmingham goal (shocking cover for Hogan by the way) seemed to confirm it was going to be one of those days. Last 20/25 mins though the pressure started building back onto Brum & there were a number of reasons for that - Bielik coming on for Thompson to impose ourselves in midfield, Kazim to help Plange up top & Curtis Davies going up top to cause chaos. They started to struggle to keep us out & we were very unfortunate not to score before the fantastic goal back from Plange - he struggled overall today but will learn a lot playing against horrible CBs like theirs. 

    Onto injury time, I thought it was all over when Byrne floated a corner straight into Etheridge's hands & feared a repeat of Forest with time wasting & compliant refereeing to see the time ebb away. But we got one more chance & the absolute state of that bicycle kick from Bielik - just beautiful. And full deserved against a horrible, cheating bunch of timewasting cloggers. 

    I'm not going to pass comment on Birmingham's support & their songs aside to say they're just a tiny version of Leeds. I hope they all have a thoroughly miserable evening & think they have exactly the owners they deserve. Long live Derby County ??

    Pretty sure the time wasting started before they’d even scored the first goal… very strange.

    Thank god we have the team and the manager that we do.

    He had a one on one in the first half and failed to connect with on that went across the goal in the second half. 

    I think bowyers right. 

    Maybe I was exaggerating a touch, but he can’t be expected to score every chance he gets? If that was the case then Derby win 10-9

    Well said. It was a lot of them but not all of them singing that. I've been in our end when our fans have sung some bad stuff. Singing the same song about Gibson today for instance. I mean he is a Bamford but that's too far. 

    I’d say majority were singing it, at least clapping to it

    Maybe some good news at last

    I just seen panel thing we go infront all blocking our takeover could be removed from next week. Which mean if they are the take over could be done and dusted and hopeful roony might be able to bring in players to help our cause and even more so boro and wycombe could be owing us money instead.

    Sauce on Derby evening telegrath take a read incase I have miss understood it.

    Nice one mate, fingers crossed for us all
