    Very good performance, Neil, Ballard and Pembele were excellent.

    Lot of comments about Leeds being poor but we made it so for the most part. Most of their efforts were wild swings from outside the box. We had plenty of chances of our own even without our forwards being on it.

    Great point.

    Good point and well played Sunderland, showed a lot of heart there. Also did the league a bit of justice for making a game of it.

    Not a million miles away, let’s get this summer right and get a promotion challenge going next season. HTL

    Well done lads. And well done Dodds who had told the players not to “ go to the beach”
    Patterson again has an easy game - and whilst no way I excuse the Blackburn overall performance- I say again , Blackburn had 5 special moments - otherwise that would be 3 clean sheets

    A good point and a clean sheet away from home. What makes it better is that Leeds have failed to score against us in 2 games AND when an interim coach was in charge!

    The lads worked hard defensively tonight, didn't have many chances in the second half but thoroughly deserved the point. They all deserved MOTM but thought Dan Neil was exceptional again

    I genuinely don’t think we’re miles off being right up there, proper 9 and I think we nick that tonight though

    Good point that n a real solid performance

    Yes they should have had 2 pens but Patterson had nothing to do

    We had our chances 1st half, offered little going forward in the 2nd but we all would have taken a point

    Neil was different class, motm for me. O9 was class, other than rhe handball, Ballard got better as the game went on n dominated their cfs. Styles was solid, thought it was his best performance.

    Ekwah very good defensively, needs to keep that up

    Lots more positives than negatives tonight

    Didn’t watch it on Sky but I’m guessing their commentators wont be happy Leeds didn’t turn us over.

    Fantastic for those people who travelled ...

    ... O'Nien easily MOTM and Dodds deserves loads of credit after the pressure he's been under,

    Did we make mistakes, yes.

    Did Leeds make more, yes.

    That's football.

    I really think Hemir will come good you know, he needs a run in the team though and now is the time for it.

    Superb performance that.

    Reports that Hinchcliffe has been rushed to hospital with acute dehydration

    Feared the worst seeing Pembele in the lineup, thought he done fine.
    Good performance though, is that 4 clean sheets in 5 now?

    Also, for anyone who might get this. Whenever I watch Leeds and hear Ampadu mentioned I can’t help but picture Humperdoo from Preacher. :emoticon-0102-bigsm
