Not having much luck are they , that’s 15 in 10 years !

As we have seen with other Clubs falling from grace - they are too big for this Division in their eyes. On paper they should not be in Tier 3 but the game is not played on paper is it

Their only way not to be in this Division is to get promoted (or relegated of course) and that means to reach the Championship they have to do it by scoring enough Points to get Auto or win the Play offs - simple as

Its not like they can buy their way out is it - and have their pick of Managers is it ? Oh actually they can but its not working - tough s**t

It will be interesting to see the reaction of Hull fans if we beat them, another dose of TLOD? Sunderland are much the same, overblown bloated clubs with little left in their locker, but with a fan base that thinks they are so much better than they are, Leeds, Sheff Wednesday, spring to mind, Bolton as well.

You could say that about Leeds up to last season but let’s be honest about it you can’t say that now.
I know many of you will be desperately disappointed, but the fact is now Leeds are back in the top tier i expect they will only get stronger over the coming years and will be a serious force in that league.

Anyway before I get slandered on here again for being a Leeds supporter which i am not ( just a follower )
I will reiterate once again i support Rovers just to make that absolutely clear and go home and away to around 40/42 league games every season ( except this one )

Camps! I agree with all those points you say about Weeds, I'm no Leeds lover either, but have watched some of their games out of interest, and I have to admit to being impressed by their high tempo attacking game. They work extremely hard as a team on and off the ball, and if they had a better striker than Bamford (who doesn't excite me much) they'd be higher in the league. Really like Calvin Phillips in midfield, plays some brilliant long balls to either wing. As you say Camps they will be a force to be reckoned with, if they survive a couple of seasons, and then buy well in the transfer market.

Whether you like Leeds or not i defy anyone to say they are not brilliant to watch this season.

That match at Goodson on Saturday eve was a fantastic watch. Don Revie’s team of 1973/74 would have had a job on keeping them out.
The mystery is how the game ended with only 1 goal. It should have been 5-3 to Leeds at half time. The final score could very easily have been 8-6 

If most Premier League games were as entertaining as that one was, then we would really be watching something very special in our top domestic league.

[RoversAlias]

No mystery as to why they only scored the one goal Campsall, and that is Jordan Pickford. He made several excellent saves.

They are very good to watch at the moment, no doubt about that. Far from the finished article mind as they are rather vulnerable defensively and we all know how important being good defensively is in this game.

I agree Alias they will need to tighten up at the back that’s for sure. 2 consecutive clean sheets though now. How they kept one yesterday was also down to Meslier. This lad is going to be France’s no 1 very soon. Only 21 tears old and a very accomplished keeper he is already.
Yes Jordan Pickford silenced a few critics didn’t he. Superb performance.

Looking like Lee Johnson will be the next manager

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I'm sure the fans will be thrilled!

[drfchound]

I wonder who will be their manager next season when they haven’t been promoted.

[Chris Black come back]

They lost today at home to bottom of the table Wigan.

Wheels also appear to have come off at Peterborough. They have now lost 5 of the last 6 and the other game they won by a single goal.

They are on their "midwinter break" they just didn't tell anyone!

CBcb it’s that time of year. Posh have a habit of collapsing at end of October through to December.
We kicked off a month late this season so the collapse has started later. Similar no of games played.

Let’s see if DF can turn them round or will he lose the respect of some players because he will be pointing fingers.
Will be interesting. Just wish we could go to London Road on New Years Day. One of my favourite away days even sat on those horrible wooden seats.

Appointed Lee Johnson

[andysly]

How is it that Sunderland appear to be struggling so badly but yet again they come to the KM and they dominate. Same last Christmas, they'd not won for weeks, roll up in Donny, man up and walk away with 3 points.
We must be their cup final

They were in fairly decent form before playing us.

Dominated 1-1.

Sunderland dominated today's game by the way - Wigan had one shot on goal. It won them the game.

Fairly decent form ?
1-2 v Mk
0-1 v Mansfield
1-2 v Fleetwood

Bugger that for form.
