    Haway man jobe, control has been horrendous and it’s starting to open up for the forwards last 10 mins.

    Teams doing really well as a defensive unit, where’s this discipline been the last two months. Let’s get to half time

    How is that not a handball and a card?

    Riding our luck last 5. But 0-0 is fair and we could have nicked one ourselves and Leeds wouldn’t have had anything to complain about.

    Really good half from us.

    Ballard needs to sort it. Waiting for the red card.

    Jobe has been the worst player on the pitch. Wasteful and not going the basics.

    Dan Neil utter class.

    Doing lots of good work defensively, just cant get himself on the ball enough

    Hes been caught a couple times trying to win the ball by going around the wrong side of an opponent. Needs to learn to always stay.goal side when trying to win ball back

    Another 45 mins like that please. Ekwah and Jobe need to get into this game more. And Ballard keep the **** away from Bamford with the niggly fouls!

    I don't think we will keep Neil like mate. Just runs the passing show against anyone in this league. If he had a decent 9 to play too aswell....

    Absolutely agree. Ballard has calmed since the retaliatory nudge at Bamford, hopefully he’s done for the game with that. Should just keep having sneaky digs at him verbally as he’s got a temper

    Neil's positional play that half was on a different level. Just broke up play time n time again

    All the players working so hard out of possession, a few need to show a bit more in possession but not going to.slag any off as all putting in a shift n doing the dirty stuff very well

    Good first half from us, we've had the better of the chances and got more comfortable as the half went on.

    Ballard needs to be very careful. He's one foul away from being sent off in my opinion.

    Clarke obviously out most dangerous player, we need to get movement around him quicker when he gets the ball, use a few runs to drag defenders out of position and give him the half a yard space that he needs.

    Think we’re playing well to be honest.

    The odd needless mistake, but we have a game plan and we’re sticking to it. Given the difference in the squads, and the seasons the two teams are having we’re managing to be competitive and hopefully we can grab a goal the break.
