It was the element of predictability in their equaliser that was the hardest thing to take. I didn't dare get my hopes up for a win after we scored and the sending-off at any point from then on.

There were 3 points there for the taking and we didn't take them.

The difficulty is in seeing how the squad, and even the club as a whole, can overcome this clearly embedded inferiority complex. I thought so many new personnel would be a big help in that regard but this seems to be a cloud hanging over us playing away against the so-called elite.

No arguments that these clubs, most of them, have superior teams and squads. If they play at full throttle, more often than not, we'll struggle to get a result.

But if we couldn't get over the line with the set of circumstances that last night presented, you wonder when we ever will. Do we have to be 2, 3 goals up heading into injury time to be confident of seeing things out?

The only saving grace was that City didn't score again as I'm convinced they would have if they had an extra 5 minutes. That, once again, is a huge worry.

Has to come from the manager and then translate to the players. Sitting back and making the substitutions we did didn't help. If you are going to sit back and then invite them onto you then the plan has to be to counterattack with pace. We put two slow paced players on and still sat back.

@Mikey_Fitzgerald Chris Wood is woeful mate, has had one decent season in the Championship, Leeds fans do not like him whatsoever, plus there is a quote from Janssen the center back who really told him what the team thought of him on twitter (plenty of C Bombs were used).

Leeds fans were hoping that some premier league team were going to come in and offer stupid money for him, and Burnley did, he is as they say "turbo gash"

I've seen him play in the flesh 3 times, once against us, albeit in a pre-season game, and numerous times on tv. Each time I thought he was excellent. Strong as an ox, excellent with his back to goal and a real threat in the air and technically very good.

Last season he obviously added goals to his game more so than before. I think he'll be an excellent signing for them. Could he have performed well here? Absolutely in my mind. Think we want a name, which moving forward is probably quite important. Time will tell if we missed a trick with wood.
