well done brighton,  phantom sending off early on for us for nothing more than a barge seems strange. Diuof give the V sign after he scores?

Just seen the highlights.

Austin headbutted Barnes.

Ridiculous.

Eh?

You really are a weird one, I've just watched that incident several times and Austin was ahead of your player - so how could he have headbutted him?

It looked like an 'old-fashioned' shoulder charge (still legal, even in the non-contact crap served up nowadays) with your mincer bouncing off him.

Not even a booking!

Rich coming from you.

Watch it again, he turned round and headbutted him. Theres a slowed down zoomed in replay of it on our website.

If it was Leeds would never appeal it. It was a shoulder charge, a mistake by the ref that cost us the game, playing with a man down most of the game and conceeding to a Tom Lee's howler, defo unlucky not to get point/s from the game. Not fussed about the result tbh, but ref was wank all game for both teams just it effected Leeds more negativly.

We were running riot over you before the red, hit post in first 25 seconds too. Barnes made an aggressive tackle when no free kick was given and he charged him down and went to headbutt him + shoulder smash in one action and connects with the shoulder. Wanted to see Austin play as been decent the three times I have seen him before. Even if it was a red, it was justice for the game at the Amex where you could have been down to 8 men if the ref was normal. Brown could have been sent off twice and only had a yellow then scored an equaliser.

Sending off changed the game. Leeds were pretty good 15th-60th min. Can see why you are good at home. Hopefully can swap CMS for McCormack, top player.

"The best player in this division isn't in it (ulloa). Different level to Vydra"

I wouldn't think you are qualified to make this statement.  You've seen Ulloa for 3 months, and you've probably seen Vydra about four times on TV?

I'm sure both are good strikers, but to say Ulloa is on "a different level" is absurd.

[Royal Flush]

Those in the know say Ulloa is diff gravy but I agree it's a bit redic to suggest he is the best in the league when he's only been in it 3 months.

Ince impressed me the most out of the visiting players at the Amex this year

PFA Championship team fo the year.voted by the players

Schmeichel

Trippier, Morgan, Hudson,Bridge,

Zaha,Ince,Whittingham,Bolasie,

Murray,Vydra

They have lots of players down in wrong positions. Sam Byram down in midfield? when he was player of the season at full back and won player of the year and young player of the year awards. Not sure many of that team will go for £10m in the next year or two.

[TightEnd]

Byram's young and British so a big price tag pretty assured

Players like Schmeichel, Zaha, Hudson/Whittingham, Ince, Bolasie etc will be playing in the top flight next season. Some because of promotion and some bought by Premiership clubs

neither will byram will he?

the days of spending £10 million + on potential from the championship especially on a defender are long gone

Deals done so I am told, Everton or Man City £6m upfront £4m on appearances etc.

[DungBeetle]

Can see Bolasie fading back into midtable Championship obscurity next season like he was at Bristol City to be honest.

[DungBeetle]

Wonder if Knockaert will step up this summer or give it another year with Leicester?

Hasn't done enough since Xmas

faded, partly fitness and stength. Partly team tinkering

Partly depends what happens with the manager situation, but currently I expect him to be back for another year

I expect to lose Schmeichel to a mid ranking Premiership side.

[DungBeetle]

Norwich need a keeper imo.  Ditto Southampton.
