The Daily Mail match report scored Dovin (but spelt Doyin) a 4/10.

Usual quality of reporting and respect for facts from the DM then.

Before the game Sky said we were trying to win our 4th league game in a row. Fingers on the pulse

Leeds are undoubtedly a very good side. Ampadu and Rodin are solid players who would be such an asset for us. The speed and conviction that Rodin brings the ball out of defense is a lesson in itself.
However, although they have a lot of quality, we played from the start as we did during the collapse v Portsmouth.
If we adjusted earlier and didn't give schoolboy error goals away, we could have competed. We have played teams before who on paper have much better quality, competed and got results.

Neither us, or anyone else in the mid table mob, is getting to anywhere near that level without a huge cash injection.

Totally agree. Leeds are using their budget wisely and making sure they don't do a Leicester, Southampton or Ipswich. They're building a squad to stay up .

Schooled tonight by a v good championship side. Quick, skill full and aggressive. I had to check in the first half they only had 11 on the pitch as they always appeared to have at least one extra man. We gifted them both goals and they could/should have scored 3 or 4 more. They showed the gulf in class between an auto chasing team and one that aspires to sneak into the playoffs. Lampard will have learned a lot from tonight, and so too should we fans (and Doug), about what we need to make a realistic push for promotion next season.

Weird end to your post. Unless what we're supposed to "learn" is that we need a huge transfer kitty, parachute payments, and the ability to pay silly wages.

Yeah, they're bringing an Italian international off the bench to replace another international of over 50 caps. We may be in the same division but we're not in the same league financially.

On another subject, anyone know why the smoking area was closed? Loads of annoyed fellas standing smoking next to the closed gates at Half Time

Glad we haven't got to play them again, should just promote them already, they're that quick the linesman couldn't even keep up. Even Meslier made a worldie save, just wasn't too be.
