    and the odds were 6/1.

    From watching the second half only, we had the better chances

    Just seen a good stat: out of our 41 points this season, 15 of those have been won against the top 3! That's over a third of our points!!

    Indeed they were.
    Never ever take betting advice from Elland, he would have cost me £350 today.
    Kerching, get in.. £770....


    Just put £170 of those winnings on fulham with McContract to score at 3/1.
    I would be a grand up over the last two weekends even if it went down.

    Saying bet on Leeds?

    All I said was cover the 0-0 and 1-1, it would have cost you £17

    How so, I would have had to cover them to get my £110 stake on the original bet.
    5/6 was the price for a draw....
    Stfu and enjoy my joy!

    Afternoon Stallion. TBH, we deserved the win.

    Only saw the second half but Boro for all their pressing did not have our keeper making anything but standard saves

    If you had seen the first half you wouldn't be saying that. Silvestri was fantastic today... Apart from his poxy kicking.

    Leeds win 1-0. Ay thank you, Aye thank you!!!! Great result & a fine effort all round. Redders take a bow for finally getting the right formation & the right people inthe right place. Now get whoever is in charge to put Bamba on a 3 year deal asap

    Silvestri well deserved the MOM, once again he kept us in match and helped us win.

    The defence was solid today, rallied together well and kept Middlesbrough's attacks at bay, and Middlesbrough came very close on numerous occasions.

    Middlesbrough had the best part of possession (64%) for the whole match and it's not hard to see why they're up top with the rest. I said during match that if we played football like Middlesbrough do then we'd be in top 6 as well by now.

    Not taking anything away from win, but Mids out did us in midfield for a lot of the game, they had a lot of room to move and build up their attacks. We had 8 shots at goal with only 3 on target, that is still a worry and needs to improve big time. Don't be surprised if we are brought back down to earth with a wallop very soon.

    We have no venom in attack, and we don't have the striking Cobras head from midfield like we use to have during some games in first half of season, that is something a coach will have to address for next season as I doubt we'll go down from here.

    For me, it wasn't a bad performance, but not a brilliant performance either, we still can't go for the jugular like a lot of teams do.

    Full marks to the ref for a well controlled and fair game, I think he handled it well; he must've slipped past the FL while they weren't looking.

    One question, I thought Cook had 5 yellows, maybe I was mistaken and it was only 4.

    I just checked and it says Cook has 5 yellows.

    Valuable win thanks in main to our defence and keeper.
