Danny Murphy in as a pundit on BBC
No replays anymore could go to ET. I did not realise that
I've watched Leeds a few times this year and was quite impressed by a few of their players. Aaronson looks talented, their CBs Koch and Wober are in good form. Their 19 years old winger Gnoto looks promising. It's going to be a great challenge for us.
I hope this isn't one of them new manager bounces🤔
Anyone have a stream?
Even if I can't see it... "Early & Often..." 049:gif
We need to get Andreas, Lukic and Wilson into the game. They barely touched the ball so far.
See main page for stream.
Phew
Just switched on and pereira has messed up twice. they normally come in threes so .... leeds goal disallowed. will var come to their rescue?
off?
Continuing on the crap performance from fri
wilson leaving that go for a corner.....
That goal should have stood
Jesus have we forgotten how to pass the ball. Its been awful.
it seems to me to be 100 mile an hour with no time for anyone to put their foot on the ball and look up and take control. hurried passes etc. it cant stay like this for 90 mins surely
this is better

No. he pushed him
If thats disallowed 90% of all crossed goals are
The push was before the goal and the ref blew up immediately. Wharever happened after that was irrelevant
It would be nice to put on a great performance for the "normal TV" viewers, a lot of teams gain popularity during cup runs because of this.
I can't see many people wanting to watch Bristol City getting beat by Man City on the other side, so this is a great platform for us tonight.
Already some nice shots of the new stadium, and a Great Goal, it's all going rather well....let's get 5 or 6.
Palhinha is ridiculously good. The tackle was excellent let alone the finish.
Palhinha back at it again with the bullet shots. He only scored screamers.
If Rodak wants to be a 1st choice keeper at a prem team he needs to stop dropping the ball at attackers feet. Thats twice now.
Stonewall penalty
Does Rodak know he's allowed to come off his line?
Cedric has been so bad
I can't stand Rodak anymore.
Mitro pull would've been a penalty if it'd been a big six club against us
37 minutes gone and we have had loads of possession, but only one shot on goal. Missing Willians cutting edge I think.
Need more from Pereira to be honest as our creative outlet

Third anonymous game in a row from him
Remember when some people didn't want us to sign Leno as it was unfair on Rodak? Jesus imagine where we would be now
Manor hasn't scored? This is ridiculous... :dft012: :dft011:
peraira was involved then and his pass reached the man twice but it was inches away from being perfect both times.
I think we actually need a new backup keeper in the summer, Rodak was a one season wonder for me
Please get Leno on
Wilson gave the ball away there with that terrible first touch
solomon doing his usual mazy runs cutting in from the wing with no end product...........
jeez that header looked harmless

We need to step it up in the second half
Jesus I am hoping this is the last time we see Rodak in goal for us. Very poor.
yes and the brighton game....

yes i watched all of them. i dont think some people have heard of irony
Cedric and Lukic look very rusty, game time will be good for them. Wilson pretty anonymous. Would like us to control the game better.
Wilson & Cedric giving the ball away and putting us under undue pressure.
Add in Lukic finding his way in his first game and Rodak exuding panic isn't helping.
Phenomenal goal but our attacking play apart from that has been poor. We can barely string a few passes together.

im not familiar with leeds squad. how strong a team are they fielding?
Soares has been proper useless, but tbf he hasn't played in ages.
Wilson and Periera have also been muck, without the same excuse.
It's the Leeds first team from what I can tell
Leeds should be ahead and if we continue like this they are going to win this game.
Sure we are looking confident and playing nice football but no real threat on goal.

Similar to us 50-50ish team
lol its either 50/50 or full strength
Rodak glued to his line, showing why Leno is number 1
The drop off from Leno to Rodak is unbelievable. I don't want to judge him too much because he rarely is playing, but he gives me almost no confidence at all every time Leeds are around the box.
Would like us to find a way to isolate Solomon 1v1 more and I need Marco to ask him to go for a strike rather than passing it. Leeds have hard time dealing with his quickness, just need him to look for his shot instead of trying to involve his teammates.
Lukic needs to be a little bit more concentrate handling the ball. I believe it will come with time. Palhinha had the same problem in his first games until he adjusted to the pace of the PL.
Also our midfield and back line need to push it up quicker rather than this slow build up. Would like to see Willian instead of Wilson in the second half.
Dreary bunch... if we keep this result we are in the quarters boys! With two players with a debut and we've given minutes to a few others... yes the keeper looks dodgy but the rest of it really isn't as bad as you are making out.
Blackburn 2 up at Leicester.
its virtually impossible to field a load of new faces and to expect them to gel within 45 mins. so as the game goes on you'd expect the players to settle in a bit. but then the changes mess it all up again.
Like to see Tete and Willian on for Cedric and Wilson. Don't see Rodak being substituted as would be a public humiliation. However, he's looked unconvincing.
It is difficult for those who have had little or no game time, but none of the second string have impressed so far, with Cedric and Wilson both exhibiting touch well below Premier League standard.
We definitely need to improve in the second half.

His body language has never looked positive even when he's had a good game.
For fairness decent save from Rodak
I really wish we would stop slowing down the play in the final third

The problem is Wilson is really slow to shift the ball onto his left foot so we can't push the ball to the byline and cross it in, so every attack has to check back inside at some point. Solomon is that but quicker at creating a yard or two but he's still an inverted winger as well
We need a second to wrap this up. They are still in it
This is like a clown show. What is going on. We look so disjointed. Leeds look so much more threatening than us, and have done all game.
Get Cedric, Tosin and Rodak off
Could do with Willian and Reed I think.

We've made 7 changes and they've made 4 to play most of their first team, think you need to chill out a little bit
This guy...
Solomon with an identical finish to the last game
He's fffffing done it again!

Maybe this board can quieten down a bit. We are playing Leeds... why are we so nervous on here?
We're going through!!!
We are never gonna sign manor perm. He is special
About time ;)
SOLOMON!! What a strike! He has to start every game.

There is absolutely no chance we are going to be able to sign this guy. All the big boys will come flocking now. Absolutely class he is

I think he loves it here so hoping that counts for something. Id break our record transfer for him though as it stands.

Maybe if we hadn't cheaped out on his signing we wouldn't have to worry about it. My only criticism this year.
Well, they are not going to give up and it will only take one conceded and it will be squeaky bum time.
Mitro tried to bend it...
Mr "3 goals in 2 years Bamford" doesnt particularly scare me.
Famous last words...
Unreal cross that from Cedric by the way
Wilson's flops are getting me a bit irritated.

i was going to say we need to hang on to the likes of wilson for the championship next season but some posters wont realise there is a hint of mirth in that suggestion.
that looked like a young david batty in their end......
Luke Ayling is the worst player in the league. Every time I see him play I wonder how on Earth he's made it this far
Will the commentators stop praising us, its making me nervous!

I get it TC.
Why is Rodak flapping at that cross like that there, jheeeeeze
Rodak is legitimately terrible
Rodak is rubbish, I don't like calling our players out but that's 3 crosses in 2 mins that he's flapped at like a fish out of water and I don't know how we've not conceded
Bloody hell, we've been so lucky this game. Where has our midfield gone??
Rodak is awful
Rodak looks miles away from his best. Maybe just rusty but he has been shocking. Ream absolute quality again.
lol that just wouldnt fall for them
Ream is massive. Rodak is ....eerrrr.....
I really hope that's the last we see of Rodak. He's been flapping at everything.
Jesus... Rodak has been a huge part of us getting promoted twice but yeah... not good tonight and Id rather we just played Leno
Leicester out 2-1 to Blackburn.
Them at the Cottage would be nice.
Just a few subs...
SK just made a call to Manor's agent.
I feel Cedric has grown into this game. Hoping that first half display was just nerves.
Ream saves us so many times this game.
Riverside looks nice in the lights.

Ream motm. Outstanding.
Toisin has been unusually poor. Another game against better opposition and his slip ups would have led to a couple of goals.

Maybe seeing why Issa has been perferred. Tosin will likely be gone in the summer at this rate.

I don't understand how we keep playing ok not great but walk away with the win

Its a sign of a great team
On reflection, Leeds however poor they have been this season have the new manager bounce and a win from the weekend to give them a lift and they made it tough.
We did just a bit more than enough to win and that's a good sign for any team, my only concern is we seem a tad lazy at times and need to find the extra gear we had a few games ago.
But hey we won again........ COYW!
