Very little bias from the Leeds commentators imo ... and they know the rules

Excellent professional performance today, from what I saw as missed most of the first half. Seemed like we controlled things and kept Blackburn at arms length by not playing as gung-ho as we can.
Hopefully other results go our way today.

Joseph is a young CR7 ???? Based on what ?

It was an awful game to watch for 70% of the game. Most of the players struggled with the pace of the ball on the surface and the I bet it was very soft underfoot, hence why so many players got caught in their heels after a poor first touch.

We did enough to win, they spent most of their time trying to neutralise our best players and for the most party they did a good job. We defended very well if occasionally untidy under the circumstances and this is where the game was won.

Not sure I agree with the CR7 comparison mate.

Ronaldo was not a work horse in his youth and was a proper winger.

Joseph is a striker imo and works hard.

Bit of Alan Smith maybe? Tenacious

When Joseph arrived he was viewed as a winger who could play striker a bit. That's the player I'm making the judgement on. It's the way he moves, the close control and the intelligence for me that had me drawing the comparison... I really think there's a player there...
