What can you say?
The play-off semi-final was played and Leeds had been in the driving seat but, after a while, it was clear that we were far from in control.
An edgy, disjointed performance that was riddled with mistakes and nerves was put in by several of the players and, in a game like that, results very rarely follow on.
Certainly, it was a cracking game I’m sure for the neutral but for many of us it was desperate and we’ll be dwelling on what went on for a while.
A number of players will be in the firing line for this one, then, and it looks as though the knives are drawn for some.
However, one man that deserves credit for trying to grab the game by the scruff of its neck is Stuart Dallas.
He was simply superb and many should have followed his lead as he bagged a brace.
Let’s look at the reaction to his showing on Twitter…

Heartbreaking that performance. Shackleton, Dallas and Philips were the positives and worked their ass off but some serious lessons learnt about game management and over playing #LEEDER #lufc
