    1st goal: Through the middle. Sublime from KWP and Adarma.

    2nd goal: LOW cross. Fair play to Smallbone on that one.

    3rd goal: LOW cross again. Brilliant from Sulemana and Adarma.

    Was great to see how much their RB was terrified of Kamaldeen.

    I feel like you are doing a trying too hard to get the plaudits here! Your low cross comment is totally fair but the second is a low PULL BACK and third is a CROSS FIELD PASS.

    You missed a lot less than the ref did imo.

    Amazing what happens when we pick something close to our best XI. (I don't think it was quite our best XI, but it was much closer than recently.)

    My MOTM was Stu. But I can totally understand anyone wanting to give it to THB, Charly, Adam, or Sulemana.

    The amount of running which Charly did, even just in the first half, is more than Aribo will do all season. Hopefully, Martin, that is lesson learnt.

    Yes, didn’t show his EPL credentials today. Nothing major but didn’t think he controlled that well.

    Just picture the average old bloke with very little hair, glasses and miserable face. Not Victor Meldrew but his more miserable clone.

    Games which Charly has started: 3 wins and a draw.

    Games he hasn't started: 4 losses and 1 win.

    Maybe one day we might get a decent referee at last. I don't hold out much hope though.

    Good thing that it didn't ultimately matter.

    He was awful, Literally gave Leeds alot.

    Tbf though we were lucky that Alcaraz got away with not getting sent off tbh.

    The third was a stretch for sure <laugh>

    But the second is exactly what I was talking about. Get to the byline and then low cross back towards the penalty spot. Man City do it constantly.

    Anyway, Sulemana could have put a high ball in for the 3rd but didn't. So I'm claiming it.

    I think that this starting XI has earned another go and Downes was pretty good in the deeper midfield role today.

    God, today’s was horrendous. How only one of today’s five yellows went to Leeds, is beyond me

    My Leeds mates reckon we should’ve ended the game with 7 players, they’re not happy with him either
