    I know it was tongue in cheek but I think Leeds are the second youngest team in the League. The difference is that their young players cost anywhere from £5m to £35m a pop.

    For an identical foul to the one on Bellingham which wasn’t even a free kick. Ironic

    One of his biggest fans, but he’s had a pretty average season as a whole imo

    Nah mate, he has went though bamford 3 times in minutes. All from behind too. Love Ballard but he is too aggressive sometimes.

    First one was nowt. Just stretched for the ball. But the one which brought the yellow was very similar to the Bellingham foul earlier. Stood on his ankle and we didn’t get a feee kick. Not saying it wasn’t a foul, as it was, just it wasn’t when their centre half did it to Jobe

    Ballard loses it in midfield
    - could have been costly

    Can feel the tension in the stadium and by the Leeds players so far. If we’re a bit braver and show some quality on the break we can hurt these

    Doing well but our front 3 are playing terrible. Can not trap or pass a ball so far.

    Say what you want about Jobe, Rigg’s football brain works way faster. I like Jobe, but I think Rigg is a better player at the minute

    Can’t dive in on Summerville, the lad is far too quick.

    Hume clearly didn’t learn his lesson when Beale ignored him for diving in and costing us a goal a few weeks after doing the same numerous times against the mags and costing us.

    Ballard not just treading on thin ice he's practicing his standing jumps on it.
