It was actually a decent night for Leeds to drop points given that those around them did as well…
Not when you consider they drew with Barnsley who are muck but yet have managed 4 points against Leeds this year. A win would have had us with the same points total as 2nd and put us clear of Leicester.
Leeds V Barnsley is always going to be a pure dog fight, they might be muck but you can be guarenteed Barnsley were well up for it tonight…

Injuries in serious danger of derailing Forest promotion push. Blackstock,Moussi,Konch tonight, sounds like Billy Davies is writing the script
Pele Adebola was the hero for Forest tonight as they got a lucky last second equalizer away to Boro tonight. Their on the cusp of bottling a very promising position for the second season in a row. In fairness a desperate affliction of injuries hasn’t helped, starting with Dexter Blackstock and then Guy Moussi(who was our player of the year until his calf went) and including,Findlay,Konchesky(both pretty much as soon as they arrived)McKenna,Anderson, Earnshaw, Tyson all in patches and now Joel Lynch tonight. The game against Hull now at the weekend is crucial, a win and the last few games were a mere blip, anything else and it’s deja blue yet again.
From an Irish persective, Lynch’s injury tonight just might give a run to Brendan Maloney from Kerry who was a star for Forest underage sides but has struggled to make the breakthrough. Haven’t seen him much so don’t really know how good, bad or otherwise he is but would be nice to see him get a run, doesn’t seem to have done to badly when he replaced Lynch tonight in the first half.
In other news Derby Scum lost again tonight to Donny and if non league Nigel hasn’t been sacked already he surely will be by this time tomorrow so they ye are, it could always be worse.
In Pukes absence and Laz’s silence I should point out that Leeds were the only team in the top 7 (bar QPR) to win this weekend. Johnny Howson is pure gift.
Mac is only full of shit
:unsure:
Bazza Bannan has joined Leeds on loan , treat him well Mac [sub]and Puke if you’re looking in.[/sub]
Leeds going well away to Preston tonight. Currently 2 up with goals from Kilkenny and Paynter.
It would be great to keep a clean sheet tonight, not just for the win but to get a bit of confidence back there. Leeds have the fourth worst defensive record in the division which makes it incredible that they are even in the playoffs. When you compare the 57 goals Leeds have conceded to the 20 QPR have let in, it is truly shocking.
They will need to pass out one of the teams in front to stay in the playoffs as I can see Burnley passing them out shortly with games in hand and on a great run of form.
Forest are in freefall
QPR face points deduction by FA before end of season
Queens Park Rangers could be docked points before the end of the season as the Football Association wants to avoid any doubt over who is promoted.
QPR lead the Championship by seven points but are in trouble over the signing of Alejandro Faurlin in 2009.
On Wednesday the FA hit QPR with seven charges relating to the initial deal arising from the Argentine’s ownership.
The FA is now waiting for the club to respond to the charges but will push for the earliest possible hearing.
In a statement QPR denied any wrongdoing.
“Having co-operated fully with the FA’s investigation, QPR and [chairman] Gianni Paladini shall be denying all of the charges and requesting a formal hearing to determine them. We are confident there has been no deliberate wrongdoing,” the club said.
It has emerged the FA has been investigating the case since September when QPR asked for permission to buy out a third party that owned Faurlin’s economic rights.
The club was prompted to do this by the Football League’s introduction of rules prohibiting the third-party ownership of players.
The league told QPR they would have to notify the FA of their plans and it then became apparent the club may have been in breach of FA regulations for over a year.
Those rules were brought in following the Carlos Tevez saga. That case dragged on for two years after Tevez helped West Ham beat relegation from the Premier League in 2007 despite being owned by a third party.
Sheffield United went down instead and lodged a legal challenge that ended with the Hammers owing the Premier League £5.5m for breaking the rules and the Blades £20m in compensation.
West Ham, however, avoided any points deduction that would have taken them down in Sheffield United’s place.
With QPR seemingly on course for a return to the top flight after a 15-year absence, the FA is desperate to avoid any repeat of the Tevez affair.
QPR are expected to ask for more time to respond to the charges - they range from a failure to notify the FA of Faurlin’s ownership to the use of an unauthorised agent in the transfer from Argentine club Instituto de Cordoba - and a brief extension is likely to be granted.
But the FA is acutely aware of the need for clarity as the Championship season comes to a boil and its financial regulation unit and legal team will seek a rapid resolution to the case.
It is expected the case will eventually be heard by a three-man panel, chaired by a QC with financial expertise.
The panel will have wide-ranging powers at its disposal, including the deduction of points and the imposition of heavy fines. Luton Town, for example, were deducted 10 points in 2008 for using unlicensed agents.
Third-party ownership of players is illegal in English football but is common in South America and it is believed Faurlin was effectively owned by three Argentine agents.
A talented midfielder, the 24-year-old has made 80 league appearances for QPR since former manager Jim Magilton made him the club’s record signing in 2009, although there is some confusion over how much he actually cost and who received the reported £3.5m fee.
QPR have been in superb form this season, losing just four times in 36 games, and have a seven-point lead over their closest pursuers Swansea City and Norwich City.
Any points deduction would be hard on current manager Neil Warnock, although he will be well versed in the rules concerning third-party ownership as he was Sheffield United’s manager when a Tevez-inspired West Ham beat the drop at his club’s expense.
Forest 
Leeds
Leeds getting the better of Forest at the moment. 3-1 up with 5 mins left.
Good win for the second biggest club in England over the third biggest.

Forest got their first win in 10 v Burnley last night, Jock David McGoldrick with a late brace. Derby scum did us a favour by beating Leeds scum, only a point between them now in the race for the play offs with five games to go. Playing highflying Norwich on Friday which probably will be the defining game of the season.
Academy graduate from the County Kerry Brendan Maloney started in place of Chris Gunther at right back last night and was solid as fook by all accounts
