But we didn’t hold on for another 30 seconds and we drop 4 points.

Leeds United , the gift that keeps giving!

Rug pulled away seconds from a justified victory. Pi55ed off big style.

Not for me Hopey.

Mesliers fault to own all on his own. Shocking amateurish and basic lack of concentration. He’s cost us before and gives most fans anxiety when he’s got the ball at his feet. It’s like he’s not in the room at times. Folk bull him up for keeping clean sheets when that is down to our defenders in front of him more than his abilities.

He doesn’t own his box and can’t punch a ball. He can’t catch either. Occasionally stops a shot well but he can’t be relied upon and never learns. He’s a liability.

A joyous weekend now becomes a crap one, by this time tomorrow we’ll be back down to 5th or 6th.

Meslier took his eye off the ball in my opinion feckin useless absolutely useless!

Yeah but you are trying to throw it back on Farke because Meslier lost us 2 points tonight. I'm sure most would be satisfied with Farke if he'd got the 4. We are all miserable after what just happened...but think you are aiming the arrow at the wrong person. ☺

2 points from 2 games when we had the capability to win both.
So near and yet so far will be the story again this season.
Some kind of impetus needs to change. And soon.

What, because as a defender he tried to block the cross? F00kwit comment from a right royal f00kwit. I've defended Meslier in the past from unwarranted criticism, I've also defended Firpo similarly. There is NO unwarranted criticism for the absolutely horrendous schoolboy horror that Meslier was responsible for, it was a sh1tshow that lost us two points and the leadership (albeit (perhaps) briefly, of the Championship.

Ifs/Buts/Maybes etc etc Oz.

Think what you like , the arrow aimed at Farke was for the Norwich safety catch job not the Meslier bottle job tonight.
