tough watch at times but result is all that matters, we also seem to getting the rub of the green lately with other results so must not f**k this up now.

One moment of true quality lit up an otherwise turgid display by Leeds.

We need to find an answer to central AMF.

If we do then hopefully the goals will start coming.


Away to a demoralised Boro next

Got lucky with a pair of shouts for handball the second of which looked like arm to ball for me on brief viewing

Good three points but we won't keep dominating games and only winning by the odd goal..We have to finish these off

Casilla - 8 - Crucial save adds a point or two
Ayling - 7 - Solid in CD
Dallas - 7 - Ditto
White - 8 - Good DMF performance
Cooper - 8 -
Phillips - 7
Hernandez - 8 - Great opportunists goal after a dodgy first half
Klich - 8 -
Costa - 9
Harrison - 9 MOTM

Shack - 7
Alioski - 7 - Did a good job in the end, thought their best moment came against Ayling/Dallas

Trying not to think that far ahead.

Wednesday away to Middlesbrough. That's all I can handle at this point, otherwise I'd go insane.

I cant see how you can rate them do high for a 1-0.

Good solid piece of work, that. Another clean sheet, another 3 points. Starting to look more like the Leeds of the first half of the season.

Easily..Also it was only 1-0 last week. In that wind, with an enforced reshuffle, a few players played very well indeed .. Don't forget I'm generally an optimist and very pro Leeds

I was actually thinking at half time it'd stay 0-0 with those conditions, looked hellish out there. Got to credit the clean sheet if nothing else.

Also I use FM like scoring. Players start with 6 before they kick a ball then go up or down depending

Pretty much the same as always. When will people learning finishing isn't something players learn you either are a goalscorer or not. We currently don't have one and I hope it doesn't cost us. Final ball and finishing lacking again. Imo. Glad of the win :tup:

Thought for the most part the final ball was decent, we missed a couple but there were some lovely and dangerous crosses
