Middlesbrough v Leeds United Match Thread

[Jaydog]

It's started

Has it?

[whiteinfrance]

Has it?

Yes

[Jaydog]

They haven't had one all season, which seems preposterous. Unless their run of 0-0s constitutes a bad run. Only lost 5 times in their last two Championship seasons.

Exactly. It’s probably us v SU.
Lets hope the change in our respective form is well timed.

[whiteinfrance]

Has it?

Doesn't matter. We won't drop any more points

[whiteinfrance]

Not this season - fatalist

[whiteinfrance]

Why does everyone focus on the past - ridiculous

[Jaydog]

I dont know how anyone can get too excited re Bamford.
You must have a short memory. But I admit it was a good cameo tonight.

Thank you - very gracious

Darlow good again.

His kicking is superior to Meslier, he puts his boot through the ball directing it towards our forwards, none of his kicks spiralling into the stands.

Caught the ball twice & made a couple of decent saves.

He's solid - not like Mes

He tried to palm that one out towards the end and completely missed it. Did ok though.

Thank you - very gracious

Mon plaisir

Mon plaisir

You can get tablets for that!

Missed the first half at work, but not the second. Leeds back to scoring, although robbed of two goals, defended well with the forwards looking for more.

What relief to hear Sheffield lose, Burnley draw and Leeds back to the summit.

[The Subhuman]

People going slightly over the top with the Bamford praise here.

You'd think he'd come on and played like prime R9

Top finish, won some headers, loved he slowed play down, linked play, engineered a FK and then surreptitiously kicked the ball away. Great hold up play and top tackle at the end .. hell of a lot of productive work in such a small amount of time.

I'm not Paddy's biggest fan and not sure he'd be good as a starter but he's always been a quality bench player.

[Cjay]

This season we won't get the decent Paddy sub appearance .. .

Then the how did we ever cope without him.

Then the few good games and goals

Then the oh god he's the 2nd coming of Ronaldo.

Then the sequence of awful conference level appearances.

Then the get this useless player out of our club.

Followed by the injury and rinse and repeat in 12 months

Ok

He did well today in his cameo

[1964white]

You might want to check that again

Apologies, Burnley have three games at home.
