Had a few too many drinks down in a mates garden so had to make do with the highlights this morning hungover. It looked like we had plenty of chances to kill the game and SU came into it a bit at the end. Job done another 3 points in the bag with a tough run of games coming up.

Jim Beglin was the pundit assistant commentator in our broadcast.

His comment was that Roberts has been very good of late and with his performances has 'said' to Rodrigo and Klich that if they want his spot, they are going to have to earn it.

We were so much more dominant than the scoreline.

On the very odd accession the Blades were attacking, they looked dangerous, and they shouldn't.
Agree.

I lost count of the times we had great attacking opportunities on the break and wasted them with a poor final pass or poor finishing.

The Blunts are dross and we could and should have put them to the sword.

I must say that I enjoyed the excellent commentary from Peter Drury and Ali McCoist, none of the usual subliminal anti Leeds bias that is often apparent from MSM commentators - well done to them!

Gonna be interesting to see what happens with Koch with Llorente and Phillips being the men in possession?

Also thought it was a bit shabby to drop Struijk for Cooper

Cooper gave some stupid free kicks away and looked rusty for me.

Upping our game may not be enough if they are at their best.

Hopefully Citeh put in a lack lustre performance as they did v their local rivals

McCoist was really funny about Alioski on his hands & knees. :lol: He's definitely a Leeds fan!

Far too many, we should have buried them.

One of the most one-sided matches even though we won by only one goal.

If you have Amazon Prime, do you know you can watch a replay of the whole game mate.

I’m wondering why I should ever do that? Some things are best forgotten 😬
