It took 13 games, but the inevitable first defeat has now come. 3-1 away to league leaders Carlisle probably doesn't sound too bad, but the result more than flattered Carlisle and Leeds will regret many missed chances.
In recent weeks Leeds have failed to capitalise on their superior possession and chances, but uptil now we've been somewhat lucky and managed to leave games with at least a point. Carlisle however, were a better team than anyone we've encountered so far, and after the break they came out stronger, knowing they could turn Leeds over.
Our record is still pretty amazing, and we're still in a very strong position considering where we were at the start of the season. This fact however doesn't make the result anymore acceptable. The Leeds team got a little lazy in recent weeks and need to now pull together and come back stronger. We still have a long way to go, and a lot to prove. Injuries is an all to convenient excuse that I don't want to hear, and Gus Poyets absence is something else we need to forget about. Losing a match we dominated the majority of and led is unacceptable.
