maybe he was worried he'd get a second yellow?
I think aaronson may start Tuesday. no idea if strjuik will befit bur gruev in if ampadeu drops back would guess.
at least it will be football not a war. I thought at least the team looked up for a fight on Saturday.

I’d prefer to see him start and see how long we get out of him. If I remember rightly, we were struggling at this stage last season when Bamford was called up, coincidentally against Boro. We scored 4 goals and looked a different team. Bamford got injured again and that was that. Bamford  at least tries running in behind teams, it stretches them and opens the game up. Piroe never runs in behind and always wants it to feet, so easy to defend against and it congests play. Would Farke be brave enough to start Bamford ? His track record would say no, but how desperate would he have to get before he changes tack ? I hope we get a slice of luck tonight or a few players perform better than of late, and then it’s a massive boost with a home game on Saturday. 

he might have scored but jesus. does james practice crossing?????

Had the linesmen done their job that was a clear 3 nil you are likely to see and with some better crosses and Piroe one on one we could have bagged 5 or 6 which would have made a real statement.
Sheffield and Burnley dropping points a real bonus but I was half expecting us to concede so well done Leeds.
Darlow again doing what he had to do Rodon Ampadu and Bogle good and Tanaka much better than the last 2 games.
Special mention to Lord Patrick of Bamford who I thought was very very good.
Aaronson again I don`t think won one duel and only recall one decent pass.
But as we know we don`t have another player who can run around like he does.

Agree mate. That Lino should never work a game again. Scandalous. Bamford was absolutely superb, when he’s fit and on it he’s a good 9, he really is. Thought Tanaka was poor again and Gruev not much better. They need to step up with Rothwell out for a bit. James was class, yes he misplaced odd cross but he set a fantastic tone, very very sharp.


Darlow good again and made some good saves. 

Agree with all that. There’s only one player in The Championship scores that goal last night, absolute class from James. To give a defender 10 yards start and have the desire and courage to get in front of him sums the lad up. Neil Warnock’s assertion that he’s Player Of The Year is one that I absolutely agree with. Nice to hear Farke praising his work ethic and effort in defence, it was noticeable how much trouble we had down the opposite flank from James, it’s no coincidence. Bamford put the centre forward debate well and truly to bed last night, he showed what we’ve been missing all season. Joseph will be gone whatever next year, as will Piroe if we go up. If we stay in The Championship Piroe better start looking for a comfy cushion and a good flask. Like you, I thought the midfield was porous, and despite some decent individual displays the defence lacked overall cohesion. Firpo and Byram both struggled down the left, just a good job Boro’s finishing was shambolic. Ultimately a great night for us though, despite the linesmen doing their best for Boro.
