Leeds Utd v Blackburn Rovers Match Thread

[hector]

doesn't this make Kemar joint top scorer in the Championship ??

and people suggest he goes out to the wing so Bamford can get a game??

[Norm]

I don't want him on the wing but I would like to see both Roofe and Bamford tried sometime to see if they mesh.

Highlights

[NorfolkWhite]

Well, don’t know what to say - superb

Not the best performance but real togetherness and a willingness to run to the final whistle gets you a long way.

Okay lads, you've proved that you can win games from the brink of defeat, there's no need to do it again ;)

WOOOHOOOOOOOOO

Looks like MB is sympathizing with the Blackburn manager at the end ...

Magic, the team spirit and fight in this team is something else

[SG90]

Generally can't believe that happened. I don't mind admitting I had tears in my eyes when Roofe put away the winner. This team just keeps on surprising me, just when I think it's over.

That said, drawing or even losing that would have been disastrous. As with Villa, we conceded the only shots we faced, Bolton didn't have a shot on target, so BPF hasn't made a save in 3 games. Then again, it'd have been 1-1 if they didn't score.

Hope we can get Heaton on loan in January.

It was lovely to watch faaip. He even got his interpreter over to make his point to Mowbray

After a comfortable first-half we conspired to create our own downfall firstly giving away a stupid penalty, then we gifted a poor Blackburn side the lead. We spent too much time choosing the wrong options, taking one touch too many allowing the Blackburn defence to defend far too easily. Once the clock was ticking against us we finally woke up to the fact we needed to deliver the ball into the danger areas far quicker.....result two goals providing an unbelievable finish sending our fans into sheer ecstasy at the death. Great celebrations, best I've seen at ER in a while

Positives

Unbelievable comeback
Spirit & resilience to keep going even when we're not playing well
Three points
Jansson's outstanding display, international/premiership class
Roofe's goals
Pablo's pinpoint cross for Roofe's superb header
Another commanding performance from Kalvin Phillips playing the centre-back role
We played some lovely football in a comfortable first-half

Negatives

We need a new keeper
Ayling's stupid challenge
Missed chances
Losing to a poor Rovers side going into added-on-time after gifting them both goals
Some woeful passing from our midfield
Too much fannying about around the box
Yet another poor free-kick from Douglas

I was at the game. We battered them should have been 2 or 3 before the break. BPF needs a break out of the team for a few games. I rate him but has cost us a couple of games. I thought Pablo was excellent some of his passing beyond belief but did give it away at times. Forshaw was quality and plays that deep role well. Roofe did well to get that header cause there CBS are big buggers. Blackburn offered very little today. Even my daughter has changed her tune and now likes us, says we are a good side. She lives alioski and the switch to the right has been very good.

Are CB's suppose to do Cruyff turns

BRILLIANT.....just takes out two Rovers forwards
