That was a terrible game of football but I take that point. Lansbury MOTM but I can't vote for him. Davis will not lead us to PL, we need a striker.

[NurembergVillan]

Might be an unpopular opinion but I thought we did well tonight.

I'd have taken a point against Leeds team getting back into form, and at Elland Road where the fans will always be up for a game against us.

There was a clear improvement in the second half, and obviously more so after the subs.  Leeds offered nothing in the second half.

Whelan did really well, but I picked Chester as MotM.  I thought he looked calm and marshalled the defence well, stepping up to the plate without Terry.

Davis looks knackered.  We've got to be more solid from set pieces delivered to the near post.

Performances like this at places like Elland Road get teams promoted.

[Rugeley Villa]

Good point. Well done villa. 

[CosmicVillan]

A point earned rather than 2 dropped

[Jareth]

Leeds and their white and gold shirts and tidy haircuts - they can get absolutely fooked. Point is a good result, very good. I know Cardiff have moved away but we really needed to stay unbeaten and we have.

Good point away. NEXT! 

[El Zen]

I’ll take the point, and we more than deserved it despite not playing very well. I’m slightly annoyed we didn’t win, though, because with a bit more quality upfront, we would have. Leeds didn’t impress me at all - our defenders deserve some credit for that, to be fair. 

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

Good point in the end.

Grealish and Landsbury coming back at the right time as well, with all the injuries.

[KJT123]

We showed good fighting qualities in that second half. Poor first half. Overall, a good point I think. A loss would have derailed our momentum. 

[poitier]

Looked like two poor teams. We did well to come away with a point after that performance, but I don't really take a lot of positives from tonight's game.

[Mantis]

I'll take that. Leeds were very good in the first half in fairness and this is the kind of game we would (and indeed did) lose last season.

[OutByEaster?]

Good point - credit to the manager that we're able to win points like this despite some big weaknesses - you could also point the finger him for the weaknesses, but I thought that we did well to get a point today given that we're struggling to deal with crosses and we don't pass the ball well. We battled and were committed and worked hard - we're the best team without the ball in this division.

 

[VillanousOne]

We stood up to one of the better teams in the league away from home, we desperately need more striker options but can't really fault that performance.

Poor first half, much better in the second. Subs made a massive difference and I do feel we need to get Jack more minutes. He gives us a completely different dimension. 

Voted for Taylor as MOTM - loved his ‘reducer’ early on in the first half. 

Coming from behind, I reckon that could be a really valuable point come the end of the season, not an easy place to go.

I'm glad players didn't give up like I did. They showed some character today. Can't be unhappy, even if deep down you want to win every game.

[darrenm]

One of those where they seemed to be able to fly into every challenge without consequence and yet we touch them and they fall over holding their face. Ref gained a bit of control back in the 2nd half though.

[Demitri_C]

First half dreadful, second half we were better side and comfortable. It's a tough place to go points a good result.

delighted for Henri that meant so much for him.

whelan was motm, he was immense today. 

[Stockport_Villain]

Last season we would have buckled under the Leeds pressure in the first half. Stuck at it and got a good point. If we weren’t so thread bear up front a change in striker might have allowed us to nick it. Still unbeaten which is important.

Gotta give credit to Bruce. We were woeful first half but to come out and play as we did in the second half, although not brilliant we nullified them and improved going forward. Whelan MOTM. Davis needs a rest/ Villa need another striker or a miracle healing of one of the crocked lot
