Like the formation, like the lineup, think it poses questions for them and looks like we will be trying to exploit the break. Don’t think Russell Martin is up to much and if you exploit his weaknesses, he doesn’t have a plan B. Away win, 2-0, but we won’t see much of the ball.

Ref tried to give that to them, but special nods to S Wharton, Tronstad, Wahlstedt and Pickering for huge contributions to that win. Hard-fought and not a lot in it but the Robins were a bit wasteful, quite dirty and not brave enough. I’ll prefer a calmer finish to a game every time, but if we can keep turning 50-50 performances into tight wins, we’ll keep moving up the table. Gagging for 23rd, when I’ll be back in the north. Envious of all of you who get to go regularly.

Hill for Moran, push Brittain on, lock down our right hand side. great save by Wahlstedt.

Can’t help but feel a bit responsible for that goal.

They’re gonna be calling us set piece specialists on sky.

I don’t think he can’t do it, but you’re right, he’s not showing the kind of agility I’d expect for a striker leading a press. We’ll be lucky to have JDT even next season, but I wonder if a whole season of training with us will unlock it for him.

Excellent challenge from Tronstad, the kind of tackle you can only execute in your mind. If he was three or four inches taller, they’d want him in the Premiership.

Excellent little move, Siggy takes the ball well and a good finish. Not exactly against the run of play but it didn’t look like it was coming.

Yeah, everything just looks off at the minute. Strange from us, we usually come flying out of the traps.

Bristol City look like they have a game plan and I think it’s the right one. Having said that, if they switch onto a slightly higher press, they may have some joy with our keeper and centre backs making mistakes.

I wonder this. I suspect he’ll get picked up by another prem team or possibly top flight abroad. Rightly getting a lot of praise for his performances. He’s always struck me as a bit of a whinger, which is based on nothing than his demeanour on the pitch. If he was whingeing about being kept out of the team by Pears, though, I’d have a lot of sympathy. And from his fee we got Wahlstedt and about a month’s worth of running costs. Stonks.

I meant the above. I struggle to believe there’s a human being alive that says that with such a lack of self-awareness.

Who can blame him? Must be an abject nightmare being ambitious, a winner at the very top of the game in your playing career, a title-winner in your previous job and being confronted with Waggott, Pascha, Venky’s et al as your higher-ups.

This has to be satire.

Jesus, is that what happened in the Riverside?

Not to disagree with what each of us have seen from them so far - they’ve left a lot to be desired - but many said similar of Szmodics, Diaz, Dolan, Pickering before. I have faith in our ability to improve players but it’s difficult for them to do without minutes and means more pressure on them when their opportunities are so limited

Anyway, hope the Leeds bus breaks down on the way home and they all catch a cold.

Markanday and Ennis both look hurried and panicky in possession and with neither having had many minutes recently, it makes sense.

JDT’s stopped mentioning “our fortress,” recently.

Dislike Bobby Madley so much. Face of a Spitting Image puppet, a punchable one at that. Notoriously poor referee and the reasons for his earlier, sudden departure from English refereeing should’ve seen him never referee again. He’s handed them every opportunity to stay ahead here, real example of officials being more scared of the reprisal of public discourse (Leeds fans) than their paymasters.

I see the point there, but I’m confident it’s a poor ruling, as a result of that argument. Sliding on the ground is dynamic and shouldn’t need support, making your body a bigger obstacle with the use of your arm - natural or otherwise - is gaining an unfair advantage, as far as I can tell.

You’re telling me that I you do a handstand on the goal line and the ball strikes your arm to stay out, it’s not handball?

Approved.
