Should have been a point, really not happy with McNulty.

Snowflake Royal Called it. McNulty hasn't looked on it and isn't in scoring form. Wanted Bacuna on that personally.


The trouble is the three players who have scored regularly this season were either injured or subbed when we had the pen. Gutted with this. It would have felt like a win if we had scored.

Why was McNulty anywhere near that pen? Equally, is Gunter trying to get himself out of the team? What the hell was he thinking?

We let ourselves down in the second half. Not good enough for the goal and threw away an opportunity to get a deserved point.

tidus_mi2 What a oxf*rd shit penalty, I'm really not liking McNulty


He hasn’t had much of a chance but when he gets one he has to oxf*rd take it. This would have been a great point.


Agree with that. But wouldn’t have backed Bacuna either

Should have let Moore take it.

1. Was never a penalty
2. Why on earth was McNulty allowed to take it with McCleary and Bacuna on the pitch?
3. Pretty poor going forward. A penalty and a free kick on target but little else to trouble the keeper
4. Pretty solid performance though. Can they maintain it against Stoke or will be another disaster?

Really terrible pen
50/50 chance of saving.

Anyone know why he had it? Can think of a fair few I'd have before him.

Hound Hit low and hard into the corner

Give credit where is due


It was telegraphed. He might as well have pointed to the corner he was shooting at - far too long a run up

Take the positives, we competed fairly well against them. We were always expected to lose and could easily have picked up a point. Anything here was a bonus... Loader looked good Rinomhota looked great. Ilori back to quality. McCleary looking decent. Good Bacuna turned up rather than shit Bacuna.

Clement told him he would buy him a box of donuts if he scored it.

Me neither. It sums everything up that none of our three main goal scorers were on the pitch st the time of the pen. Baldock would have converted it but as per he is out injured. Hating this season.

Would you trust Bacuna with a pen? Did you see his one against Sheff Utd last season?

McCleary hasn’t scored for about 2 years

Just a bit unlucky imo, but wish he’d blasted it

Jakkola saved us from a big defeat. Looked clueless again in the final third. Awful penalty, and on any other day Gunter punching the ball when it wasn't out of play could have put Leeds out of sight.

Definite pen, even the Leeds fan with the mike didn't argue it. Garath 'score on the rebound' McCleary?

1. Yes it was
2. He’s a striker
3. Agree, just don’t offer enough threat
4. Solid other than don’t offer much attacking threat

Is it just me, or do other teams always seem to close down more than we do?

We're just not brave enough in the attacking third...until we're a goal down

Keep saying there is potential and we aren’t at off, but really need to get a run together

Thought Leeds were a good side. We competed well and with a better pen, would have got a deserved point

Rino and Bacuna were excellent. Loader good, though tired in the second half. Moore and Ilori very good

Frustrated more than anything else. Thought PC got most things right tonight
