The lapse in concentration combined with Middlesbrough's ruthlessness was all it took. Wednesday deserved more than a point from the game, and 'Boro were poor in large parts, but they're showing their credentials as a promotion team by grinding out results they don't deserve.

It shows how far the Championship has come when you see the likes of Karanka and Carvahal managing two of the in-form sides.

It's a shame that the latter was so critical of the Football League for letting the game go ahead, though. He felt that - due to Boro's Boxing Day postponement - the match shouldn't have gone ahead, because it was unfair.

That's life, I'm afraid.

Yeah, it happens. We have Derby tomorrow and they've had 26 hours longer to prepare than us. Punishing league, but Wednesday did make 6 changes to the starting line-up

He wouldn't have commented if they had achieved a result today. I'm hoping Leeds and Derby is a cracker.

That's a strong Derby squad, completely forgot Bradley Johnson was now at Derby. Cook dropped for Adeyemi & Wood starts. Again.

More defensive errors leading to goals :sigh:

Dirty Leeds. Lack of discipline, we need to keep our heads. I liked Byram's booking though.

Edit: **** ref too

Beautiful Bamba. I'd take that at half time. I would expect after around 15-20 minutes into the second half to see Cook & Antenucci. His impact was huge against Forest, and Wood, who has had a decent half tbf to him, is looking isolated on his own.

2.1 to Leeds now.

OP

2-2. I'm glad Wood got a goal, looking on to MK Dons!

Good game that were.

Typical Leeds. But not a bad point against second (I think) placed Derby.

Some great games over the last few nights, but I'd have preferred to have seen the Fulham match over this last night personally. It was a cracker, by all accounts.

As much as I love there's so much football on TV, I feel sad for the fans who have to make sacrifices to get to see their team play at silly o'clock.
