    Gave us so much control tonight. Thought it was close to an elite performance from him personally. Funny how we.see things differentlym

    Its getting quite serious now and we are heavily mocked by it.

    Skysports even spoke about it after the game

    Thought Neil did well tonight. Made some good driving runs with the ball into their half in the second half. We definitely deserved a point from the game but I still can’t believe the circumstances in how we got it

    Yeah he had a good game, didn't quite get the end product but it wasn't for lack of trying and he played some quality football. Hume didn't have one of his better games as his wingman.

    Thought we deserved a point so happy with the result. Once again the lads kept trying until the final whistle, it’s a shame so many of the fans can’t stick around until the final whistle, not a good look and a very poor message to the players. WTF

    Yup, I'd agree a 2-2 would have been a fair scoreline

    They deserved that the time wasting was scandalous, but the worst performance cost us tonight, missed the goal though, Connelly should have been on, but a point better than nowt. The daft bookings as well we are picking up

    Aye a couple of my Leeds mates messaged saying a draw was probably fair

    Def think both teams will be up there come the end of the season - for 25 mins of the 1st half you lot were killing us imo but thought you were poor 2nd half in possession

    He's always an outlet and his strength and workrate is exceptional. You wouldn't think this was his first season playing men's football every week. He has good game understanding but, agree, made a few daft choices tonight but overall love him

    He did like a bit of physicality but has shown a slight bias i think letting too much go

    At 90 minutes I would have happily written how proud I was of this young team going toe to toe with a very good Leeds side even though we came up short.....then Brownes howitzer bamboozled their keeper and we get the point we thoroughly deserved.
    We never gave up and you can't ask anymore than that...well done lads.
    Those we left early should be ashamed of themselves.

    Saw majority of the game, I also looked at my phone when Browne's knock into the box looked like it was falling into Meslier's hands...

    I was utterly gobsmacked, tbh our first goal I didn't celebrate either because I was awed by the lads' save and so I was muffled buzzing about Rigg...

    I'm gonna post some ****e from what I saw;

    Dennis Cirkin for me was man of the match, simply because he had a huge role with Mundle being ineffective on the ball.

    Mundle doesn't half graft, kept going despite being handled well, I thought he was doubled up on but Roberts was left a bit on the right?

    Rigg, looks tired, struggling when we aren't in possession, not that he's bad out of possession but he's just terrific when we can manipulate defences consistently. Works well with Roberts and Hume.

    Jobe, outstanding but really should have done better with his chances.

    Neil, such a frustrating figure, some good passing, but his most frustrating moments for me have always been him being caught in possession, for the most part he couldn't help it, like many of our others.

    Missed Mayenda I felt, looking forward to seeing the changes after the internationals.

    Feel like Hume has his limitations, as a business we'd be sensible to sell in the next two windows, I think his value ceiling has been hit, I hope I'm wrong.

    But I do like Hume, just always felt Huggins was next level when fit.

    Felt Leeds done well at times, they got their luck then it was repaid in the dying embers.

    Deserved that - even if I was initially fuming when Browne helped it on:emoticon-0102-bigsm
