Very good point in isolation. Burnley game will be tricky, but starting from Portsmouth at home we really need to start winning some matches again. 

Why in isolation? What’s the wider context?

[Tugayisgod]

Every single one of them put in a hell of a shift today, now recover before Saturday.

Have to give special praise to the 2 centre halves though - Batth, what a signing he's proved to be when most were against it. Contract extension incoming for him and Hyam please

Thought he did well.

I thought he struggled.  He's not ready for this level yet. He might not get any better than vale

Superb result in isolation. Great performance for a one off type of situation.

Unfortunately in the general scheme of things it's only two points from four games.

Badly need to beat the Dingles to get the show back on the road.

Let’s just have our selves a few beers/wines/nice cuppas tonight. ☺️
 

I don’t want to think about the Derby game until Friday. My nerves are gone after that today 

[Ossydave]

Take a bow Dom Hyam and Danny Batth, both absolutely superb today. For the most part Beck and Brittain too aside from a few wobbles. Gueye as erratic as he is, you can't deny him another assist! I'd have to watch it back but sure he properly hindered ACD for the attack which lead to the penalty though?

Tronstad brilliant again and I also feel Baker is growing into this team now, he also looked to pick up a bit of the shithousery we're missing from Trav.

Was feeling a little deflated after their goal, but the equaliser may just give us that shot in the arm for Saturday!

[yellowsubmarine]

Proud of everyone! Pears made such a great save towards the end. The defence was well-organised and FARKIN solid! We need a clinical scorer in January, love a cheeky loan for Sammi!

[wilsdenrover]

Well done lads

Fuck off Leeds

Gueye definitely impeded ACD in the lead up to their goal. Redeemed himself with another assist though.

Danny's Batth is fucking excellent!!! Best free signing in decades!

Proper defender - and Hyam looks so much better alongside him too 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Eustace v 35k Leeds fans😠

[chaddyrovers]

Great result. 

Very good solid performance. Great defensively. The entire team outstanding..

Leeds alot of huff and puff alot. Created very little for people saying how good there are. 

Eustace set us perfectly for this game just like I knew he would. Very good coach and tactically. 

Bring the dingles on now!!!

Eustace's Blue and White Army 🔵 ⚪️

Excellent result. Doesn't quite make up for losing at home to Hull but I know beating that lot next up will do the trick 😅.

Another assist for Gueye was it? 😂

I can't imagine it will go down as a Gueye assist as it landed with a Leeds defender first, but he certainly made that happen. I'd say that negates his weird assist where he should've scored instead, and hopefully we can shut up about that one now when people discuss his assists tally.

He is an unorthodox player and he certainly isn't a goal machine, but he does cause problems for opponents and makes things happen.

[neophox]

We need to erase those Stoke and Hull at home performances and start to win at home now on Saturday when the scums arrive.

[Dreams of 1995]

It is a classic Eustace display. We are organised and we frustrate teams

Owen Beck is a fans dream. Gets stuck in there, always picks a man to have a row with and gets right back to his game. I wish he was here permanently 

And credit to Pears for the excellent save late on 

[Gamst21]

Great result that, Leeds players practically hugging the ref to give the pen! 
 

Onwards to Saturday, COYB

Don’t forget that JDT wanted him and he was at Ewood to sign when Swag changed the deal. If he had come that year, think he would have seen us into the play offs.

Im sure you know the answer and are being a WUM - We've only got two points from the last four games with another very tough fixture up next.

We blew it against Millwall/ Sunderland/Hull.

Hope that helps.

Thank goodness we stopped those insufferable Yorkshire scrotes from getting all 3 points. What an awful bunch, booing a clearly injured player hobbling off and then moaning about the ref when he was in their pocket.

The fly in the ointment is that if they hadn't had that pen it's doubtful they'd have scored and we could have celebrated all three. That and Yuki is now probably injured for the Dingle match. They always get us when we have a few injuries.

Thought he did well.

A few untimely losses of possession when he was in good positions and a terrible header from a good Brittain cross.

He needs a run of games in L1 as the main striker - but sadly I think he'll be kept on the bench here for the rest of the season.

The assist police won't let him have it, there is no doubt that he has once again affected the game, he's definitely improving.

I thought Cozier-Duberry made the wrong decision to be honest.

[Nic81]

Hull to win now and it’ll be a very good day!

Yeah totally agree, ran into ACD's space when he should have gone more central for the through ball. He made up for it with the mighty header before the goal though.

These lads continue to surpass all my expectations though, so resolute and they leave everything out on the pitch, it's great to see. That back 4 were magnificent today, I thought Brittain looked a proper player and I've never really been a fan of his.

We’re 6th. We aren’t going the full season without a bad run or two. You’re clueless. I’m no WUM. Hope that helps.

Isn't aggressively influencing the ref an offence? Gueye only waved his hand repeatedly.
