    Really good battling performance. Bit perplexed with him bringing Roberts on, because of his lack of defensive prowess. I would have expected Ba.
    Team gave everything tonight and that's all we can ask for. You could see how much it meant when Hume shepherded Summerville out of play.
    Dan Neil different class. Well done Lads, proud of you!

    Same just couldn't watch it, taped it watch it later with the sound off. Sky commentary is so anti lads it's become embarrassing.

    Like a few, I was worried seeing Pembele and Styles in, but they were both fine.

    O9
    Dan N
    or Ballard

    MOTM difficult to choose from.

    It’s like Dodds is desperate for Roberts to do well no matter who else is available. Ba or Mundle were the better options for me. It’s the same with Jobe.

    Roberts has had a poor season but hopefully he can kick on again next year.

    Rode our luck, especially with the penalty shouts, but 1 shot on goal from them tells the story of how well we were set up. Bristol City had more chances on Sat

    Really good performance that. Dodds got it spot on against Leeds again, 4 points from them this season.

    Pembele gets a special mention from me, first start in the league against arguably the best team in the league up against arguably the best player in the league and he didn't put a foot wrong and produced a great cross which Clarke was so close to scoring from.

    Neil excellent, Hume and O'Nien superb defensively, Ekwah with a performance he's not known for where he didn't do much with the ball but was flawless without it.

    I have a serious issue with Patrick Roberts. 16 y/o Rigg goes off for the Champions League experienced Patrick Roberts and it killed our forward play. The lad offers nothing and I wince every time I see him come on.

    4 clean sheets in 5 games now.

    Good point. Proud of the lads, could've easily folded tonight.

    Leeds, Leeds are falling apart again.

    i'm probably being a softy here but i'd add pembele into it aswell just because first start and kept one of the best winger in league silent until he got tired

    I said that a while back but I’m not so sure now, I think he needs a loan until Jan then re-asses, 2minute cameos are certainly not going to help the lad

    Make sure you have got the sound off mate or you'll be rounding up a posse to lynch Hinchcliffe. What a biased twat. I bet he's in ****in' tears now.

    Fair one defo on the defensive side of things but I still think Hemir was judged on his work rate a bit off that first game or two I reckon he would’ve given us something on the counter.

    Agree Magnus, I thought he was very good and a threat going forward first half

    I thought Hume was better than both of our other centre backs. He did well against Summerville all night, never gave away a single foul, was tidy and accurate on the ball everytime he got it.

    Neil runs him close though, not as accurate with the ball at his feet as usual, but it was a battling performance from him and he fought well.
