One on one against the Fulham goalie and they go and screw it up.

Fulham break away and score.

Pratts.

They had a great chance to equalise but blew it only to go and let the second one in.

Oh well Fulham face a tough challenge away against Sheffield Wednesday who beat Sunderland 3-1 so hoping they can do us a favour on the weekend

Yep that game and hopefully their game against Millwall as well.

Nice as it would be for other sides to do us a favour. Our fate is still in our hands. We win our games. We go up. We have points in the bag as a buffer and we have a game in hand. If we balls it up then we can only blame ourselves.

Leeds have dominated the second half and got hit by a sucker punch. Fulham have been second best since their first goal. Even at 2-0 up, 1 goal from Leeds will give Fulham a nervy finish.

But when you have the ref denying Leeds a stone wall penalty (Dallas started going down early, but the keeper clearly made contact with his outstretched arm), it looks like yet another promotion rival are being given a helping hand by officials.

I just can't believe how this game is going.

The most deliberate foul by Johanson of Fulham and all he gets is a yellow. Then Leeds from a corner miss an open goal.

More like Leeds giving them a helping hand.

That's never a penalty chief :lol: :lol:

Leeds missed a couple of big chances second half though.

If you look at the angle directly behind, the keepers arm went directly across Dallas’ legs. There’s absolutely no way the keeper could have failed to make contact. Dallas’ fault for going down way too early and Leeds would have probably missed the penalty anyway with how abysmal their shooting was last night.

As you say, Dallas goes down too early so any contact is initiated by him falling. His lack of appeal after it tells you everything but like you say, they would probably have missed it anyway!

Although Fulham played very well last night, Leeds were abysmal in front of goal. I can see that against better finishers they will drop points. Wednesday, Brentford and Millwall may not be as charitable as Leeds.
