Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Great effort from Joseph to get the ball to Geo.

[The Subhuman]

Lost control a bit with Geo and Gruev moved out of the middle and Byram at LB

[John in Louisiana]

5-3 to Saints now!

Damn.

It's all my dog's fault.

Anyone but Huddersfield, she said.

[Broad Ford]

Damn Southampton. Needed Armstrong for an anytime goalscorer. ☹

[andrewjohnsmith]

Wembley v Villa, Cardiff v Watford, Wembley v Doncaster. Got too many Leeds United memories like that!

Promotion v Bournemouth

Title v Blades (2nd to last game)

Fun times

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Now Soton just being d*cks and helping their goal difference.

[Orange Box]

I hope it doesn't come down to goal difference, we continue to miss SO many great chances

[The Subhuman]

I'd forgotten Gray was still on ... awful challenge on Geo

[The Subhuman]

Southampton riding the wave of an easy run atm ..they have the hardest part of their season still to come

[John in Louisiana]

We're getting a little sloppy in the closing minutes

[John in Louisiana]

Good win. Nice momentum to ride into these four matches in ten days.

Not many links today unfortunately and the rare ones I find don’t work anyway

Hesgoal worked a treat. I wasn’t following comments during the game.

Really surprised our possession was only 59%, it seemed so much more than that.

KickofGoal was perfect as well.

Comfortable for 99% of the game.

Got careless towards the end forcing Meslier to make a few decent saves.

Finishing again was poor unfortunately but didn't matter in the end.

Back 4 were solid, thought Firpo coped well given they targeted him.

Gruev and Kamara very effective covering Rodon and Ampadu.

Another decent game for Gnonto and ok from Bamford.

Summerville and Rutter ran the show.

Pleased CC got on the pitch.

[JoeDenver]

Hudders dagger! Argh!

Southampton xG of 1.55 today and scored 5.

4 goals from the bench as well, don't think we've had 4 all season

Wish we could be more clinical but not the Leeds way it seems.
