Elland Road sieged by Tangerines

The best 18th birthday present would have been 3pts for Leeds tonight against Blackpool, however the it was the devil not angels handing out a helping tonight as a flurry of goalkeeping mistakes and a red card saw us fall to a crushing 5-0 loss at home :'(.

I think it says it all when you make a tactical substitution at half-time replacing your goalkeeper. At 3-0 and down to 10-men we were dead in the water, however for the first 15mins after HT we came out with fire in our bellies and dominated. Unfortunately we couldn't convert the pressure into a goal and for the remainder of the game we were chasing shadows as legs tired and slim hopes faded.

But the fans that stuck around until the final whistle showed their commitment and passion for the club singing our hearts out until the end. A painful night! A lesson learned, let's put it right away to Leicester on Sunday... note you can expect my blip that day to be from the game as I'm travelling down to watch the mighty Leeds MOT!

I hope you don't enjoy this too much (the image is of the travelling Blackpool fans before the game) - at that point I had a smile on my face...
