The Doctor

Leeds winning isn't a problem. Honestly this is good. They win today and v Ipswich, we beat Birmingham and Rotherham and suddenly Ipswich are closer to Leeds than us and the focus goes to holding them off, not hunting us down

Oh yea, it just annoys me as a cliché because a perfect defence would only guarantee you 1ppg and that's typically relegation form Great result, particularly with Ipswich at Leeds next weekend gives us a real chance to be 6pts clear before boxing day.

I mean... We went down in 2008 with 45 conceded, second best defence in the division. It's a team game, you need attackers and defenders doing their jobs

I think if you'd drawn any conclusions on whether he's good enough based on a handful of sub appearances you're a bit of a fool tbh

He scored 9 PL goals in 2346 minutes across two seasons, a goal every 260 minutes and works out to being a 13 goal a season striker in the top flight. That's pretty respectable. If he's "never ever shone" consider how difficult it is to shine when limited to cameos off the bench

That was obviously not true, given the first of those appearances was a 3 minute sub appearance v Sunderland

Neil Lennon.

As has been said, do it per 90. Per game is misleading if you're not a starting striker as Patson generally hasn't been here. 10 games if he's coming on at 80 minutes is basically only 1 actual game

I mean he's got the 6th highest % of aerial duels won in the entire division (74.7%) but sure, let's do it by vibes

On the plus side, Hull would be an even more irrelevant place than currently

I mean scrumpy is free if you're doing it right

Yknow I've always thought Yorkshire should have independence and not be part of the English league system, remember when no-ones favourite flat cap wearers banged on about how they'd have finished 6th in the London Olympics

So getting 10 clear of Ipswich would still mean being at least 10 clear of third?

West Brom and Middlesbrough have been in pretty decent runs of form of late though?

You seen how small kieth Stroud is?

I mean I don't want to slag Vardy off, he's a club legend, but is that normal for Vardy now? Partly down to his age but he doesn't have the pace to do something like that now

Yea but my nan could have scored that and he didn't score a hattrick so he had a shit game... Genuinely think twitter and Reddit should be launched into the sun

In the team of the week alongside JJ, Mavididi and Fatawu

Those janners know what they did. (In all seriousness, the stadium looks more full when you see the away end as well, because their fans didn't all suddenly have family emergencies at 85 minutes)

Don't think you need to tbh, it's pretty self explanatory

Could be worse, you could be away to Bradford this season instead and reading about the Crossbow Cannibal

Again implies you've done it before, which is optimistic. But sure, let's go back to that photo and block out the away end You telling me the family stand and huge chunks of the easy stand haven't cleared off and they've just come dressed as empty seats? Hell, I was up in the back of SK2 and was out into the concourses within like 2 minutes rather than waiting on the stairs for ages, such was the number of people who cleared off before full-time.

Ran off here meaning "has a life outside this forum and isn't spending their Sunday in an online dick measuring contest". The ground was essentially half empty at full time yesterday. If you want to be pedantic and claim it was only 40% emptied then be my guest, you're not right in any meaningful way

Supposed to be a bit chilly Wednesday, can't expect people to stay past 55 minutes

My recollection of that chance was the first wobble before they then started to pile the pressure on but you might be right
