Casilla brought him down yes but weren't there two covering defenders?

I don't think I'm ready yet to give my complete thoughts but during the game I
said it had 1-0 blades written all over it. The red card of casilla was
justified.
The game descended into farce and Bielsa looked very upset at the end.
Lots of points to play for and we knew that it wouldn't be easy. Still, can't
escape the dark cloud of sadness about this disaster.

Fair points Dave. Going to be a nail biting 2 months!
Re the Alioski song, it was written by a teacher at King James’s in
Knaresborough - maybe that’s who you sit near? It is funny (first time)!
Read loads of moaning about yesterday from Leeds fans re Kiko (def a red card)
- selective blindness. I did think Baldock could easily have had 2 yellows for
his ‘looseners’, and Sharp’s sneakiness in standing on Pontus’s achilles and
the backwards head but are all part of the little c*nts armoury - if it had
been Ian
Baird doing it we’d have loved it. Glad he didn’t score though. Bamford got
plenty of treatment early on, but I thought he was excellent in the first half.
Sheffield were reasonably organised, but we lost because we didn’t take the
chances we created - just got to hope that teams they play going forward have
better finishers than ours.
Why does Jansson constantly play the wounded soldier - is he knackered and
looking for a rest mid game, or giving everyone else a rest? Not talking about
his final knock, but before.
Hey ho, 8 games - anything could happen!
