I watched on Facebook whilst trying to supervise 4 kids at Stockheld Park. As you can imagine my parenting skills were called into question. It was a good game to watch but despite the brilliance of the result and the way we continued to break and look for goals I felt pretty pissed off for long periods of the game as our defence and midfield was totally over powered by an aggressive Brum team. It was good that we caught them cold in the first 20 mins because after that I thought they dominated and our midfield for the second time in a week were outplayed, outclassed and out fought. This led to our defence being on the back foot for long periods. We play Philips to give us that protection in front of the back four but when he plays against players with pace and creativity he’s left for dead. Anyone who thinks Philips is anything other than an average championship midfielder is not watching the games closely enough. From what was the most solid defence in the league we’re now look very vulnerable especially against set pieces. However, if you think back we really haven’t defended set pieces well all season and have been lucky at times to concede more. Our keeper was terrible yesterday- the way he came for their 3rd was non-league standard and what the hell he was doing for 2 of the other goals. You can’t plan for mistakes like that. Ayling got all the headlines for his goal and attacking runs that won us the game but his defending and passing were woeful. So whilst it’s amazing to be top of the league at the end of the year and 9 points clear of 3rd I think the next few games will define our season. Bielsa has work to do.

Didn't see the final result til I got to traffic light, but wasn't really 100% sure as I didn't have my reading glasses on. Happy days.

Can you just imagine intensity of having that roller-coaster condensed into a couple of minutes without knowing the result? I was sitting head in hands when the showed their very late equaliser to make it 4-4, thinking we'd thrown it away again, then...hang on, they're showing another Leeds attack...
