I do think it really is as simple as this: Leeds want it, we don't. The former have been giving absolutely everything to get the ball, on the few occasions it trespasses onto our feet we hoof it and hope for the best. 

I'm not sure about that, they don't seem particularly hungry yet although they seem to have lost most of their nervousness at 2-0, but they're just much better footballers man for man.

[JonnyJonnyRowe 787]

Choosing to start Sainz on the bench is looking like a really bad decision now, with how poor Barnes and Rowe have been, especially Rowe.

Can't believe how sleepy we've turned up for this. Pitched up with hopes whilst Leeds seem to know they're in a playoff semi final. Really such a shame.

Ever wondered what a manager has to do for a team to turn up to a play-off semi final like they couldn’t give a ****? I hope they film the dressing room masterclass and learn from it.

Was an own goal. 

Wtf does that matter: it counted as a goal. Jeez, what a strange argument. 

[Capt. Pants 4,685]

We look rubbish without Sainz. Huge decision by Wagner.

[A K Narey 181]

If we had another forward who knows where the goal is, we would not be relying on a 90% fit Sargent.

That's a fair point. I've probably done the classic fan error of thinking 'defensive= doesn't want to win'. Although in this case...

[Keith Scott 288]

I've said many times this team have no backbone but this is a new level of cowardice. No bravery what so ever. Disgraceful performance. If Leeds want it, they could get double figures.

All the best.

Big Keith Scott.

[Ward 3 447]

Leeds well up for it. We can't cope. Getting suffocated every time we have the ball. And Barnes looks like bambi on ice. Get Rowe off.

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,416]

Why aren’t they running through walls? Why aren’t they digging in? Why are we so weak?

It was a ridiculous decision when it was announced. Anyone with half a brain knew it. Sadly Wagner isn't in that camp.

[king canary 8,261]

Our entire attacking plan is humping massive balls forward. Genuinely embarrassing.

He's just won the Scottish premiership 

[S_81 1,016]

Have our players forgot their studs? Never seen us fall over so much. 

[Cathcart Canary 2]

Can anyone give me one tangible benefit Barnes gives to the team other than the nebulous 'he fires up everyone else' for which there is no evidence whatsoever 

[RugbyCanary 104]

Absolutely abject!! Players and coaching staff should be held totally accountable!!!!

 

[Serinus canaria 26]

I do think they are just way better than us. The gulf in quality is obvious and we don't have the skill or tactics to rise to it.

I have to say I agree with this statement 

[Capt. Pants 4,685]

Embarrassing from Barnes and Rowe

[cambridgeshire canary 7,445]

Rowes not put himself in the shop window with that embrassing display

[NWC 268]

Calling for a yellow card should be a certain yellow card - not adhered to. 

[unique 454]

If Barnes is just going to let the game pass by, couldn’t he have just done it from the bench?

[JonnyJonnyRowe 787]

So when Rowe got booked for diving then, which was justified, why didn't the Leeds player get a card for waving an imaginary card?

[canarydan23 4,561]

Embarrassing from Rowe, but since when is having two hands on a players back not a foul? Leeds player was pushing Barnes into the ****ing floor.

[Cowboy 233]

Why does Rowe try to cheat in that situation, just so stupid. No football brain.

[Ken Hairy 4,132]

Dropping Sainz has been an utterly tragic decision

Okay for the sake of semantics none of David Wagners players have scored in the play off over what will be 5 games once this is concluded. 
 

It matters because its hardly filling me with confidence we will get back in this game given his track record of never having one of his own players score a goal on a night we need 2 to 3 goals.

Hopefully he can do it from someone else's bench next season
