Still gutted about last night. Every team has their hard luck stories and what ifs, but those late goals at Blackburn and Stoke, on top of last night means surely weβll click and kick on.
Nothing at all to be worried about looking at the teams up there with us (still think Leeds will pull away).

Absolutely fuming with them. Unable to hold concentration for the full match in both games, itβs cost us 3 points in total. In two loose moments, just like that, the opposition pushing it for that little bit more.
