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

He's already better than Vale.

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.

I think we’d all have taken six wins, two draws and two defeats from the last ten.

That being said, a momentum shift is clearly needed very soon - Saturday sounds an ideal time to me…

This is the most baffling additional time I have seen ever i think. We should be writing into the football league for an explanation.

Are you joking? There were 2 lengthy injuries in the first 10 minutes of the second half - it was always going to be 8+ minutes added. And the 10 minutes was shown just around the time the ball was played forward for JRC to win the corner from which we equalised - so no conspiracy theories needed. 

There’s plenty of things we could feel aggrieved about - the penalty was soft and he wasn’t going to give it until Gnonto got into his face, Ampadu got away without a yellow card despite the most blatant handball you’ll ever see, the numerous soft freekicks he gave to their right back, to name just a few, so there’s no need to be making things up to get upset about

I’d imagine most were expecting between 5-7 points from Millwall, Sunderland, Hull, Leeds and Burnley. 
I’ll be happy enough with 5 and a win against Burnley.
Ewood will be bouncing

Leonard is 21 now. He should be showing more if he’s to make it at this level.

Great battling display from Rovers. Very much deserved that point. We can’t be doing that every week though. Quality up front is desperately needed. There’s money to spend and we’ve had months to sort something out. No excuses from me.

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

That's what I thought at first but on watching the replay the ball came to him extremely sharply and was slightly behind him so he couldn't get any power on it.

Don't think anyone deserved any criticism today overall.

[Forever Blue]

We’re 6th in the league. Most people were expecting relegation. There is no ‘in isolation’.
 

Today was another great result in a season of great results.

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

Shame we cocked up his paperwork. We could have had him a year ago and avoided the relegagion scaries. He and Hyam are brick #2 houses.

Did OK. Arguably his type of game.

No quality on the rare occasions he finds himself in a slightly more advanced position.

[Lancaster Rover]

Over the moon with that, I absolutely despise Leeds, on a par with the knuckle draggers down the road 

[davulsukur]

Leeds fans on social media fuming that the ref was "wearing a Rovers kit underneath". Not quite sure where they got that from.

I've seen so much of this and it's genuinely hilarious, most one sided ref I've seen in years, he was practically in tears at full time becase he couldn't make sure Leeds won!

Bizarre when he gave them a penalty they requested, then gave them 12 extra minutes.

I think they expect a replay if they don’t win. Entitled twats!

Eustace v 35k Leeds fans😠

He was loving that in the touchline!

[simongarnerisgod]

burnley could`nt break stoke down today and had the overrated ,overpriced and basically **** hannibal sent off,im` e felling more optimistic about saturday,if we can keep leeds out (dodgy penalty aside) we can do the same to burnley,who like us,don`t have much in attack,they certainly have nowhere near the firepower that leeds have

Incredible searching for faults with one of our most consistent performers. Brilliant yet again today and has been all season.

No wonder he is captain whilst Travis is out.

I think I was with every player in the second half. Every kick. I'm knackered now and the vocal chords have taken a beating too.

[cesus]

Another excellent team effort. We could easily have curled up and sulked after a questionable penalty, it would have been easy with how knackered the lads are but they doubled down and worked and got their reward.

The defence was excellent, I've been really impressed with Batth. I loved how Hyam ran off for the goal and had everybody thinking he scored.

Superb organising by Mr Eustace again. Bravo!

[bluebruce]

We defended like Spartans today. I saw an interview with who I think was Leeds' assistant manager, and he said they didn't manage to dominate the game like they have the last few matches.

And it made me think, I don't think anybody has dominated the game against us all season except Sheff U? We are a very hard side to play against, exceptionally organised at the back. I don't think we've been so well drilled since the Allardyce days. I wasn't a big Eustace fan last season, but now his style has taken hold it has made us a very tough proposition. As we all know, we just need a bit more up top and then we should be able to make the playoffs.

The budget will be infuriatingly shit again of course, so we just have to hope we find some great bargains and finally get over the line.

Not searching for faults at all. Said no-one deserved any criticism today. It was (as usual) another poster who baited me on Tronstad when I hadn't even mentioned him in the first place.
