Midfield far to open

Breathless first half, not real quality but somehow overcame an awful start, so important to get to half time not behind.

Feel midfield is too lightweight tonight, Gray is effective going forward but Gruev is just not doing enough defensively.

Firpo needs to wake up at back and we need to stop looking for free kicks in our own half.

How is that not a yellow?

Exactly, they have had a few which were as bad if not worse than Bamford's

Firpo has a constant blind spot - it's like pantomine 'He's behind you!'

Breathtaking half. Boro are one slick side. Very fortunate with the Gnonto goal, but fecckk it, I’ll take that all day👍. Don’t give a fig about the final scoreline as long as we win

I actually wasn't irritated by the commentator but maybe that's cuz I yelled over and drowned out her dulcit tones when we scored.

Feck, if the next 45(51)go as fast as that I'll not have time for another coffee!..

But it has been said, Rutter isn't himselfe again!..

Our defence looks in serious threat everytime Boro attack but then theirs looks similar when we attack so I hope Farke can rectify that by maybe bringing Kamara on in the 2nd half to beef things up for us a bit more.

I think we miss Kamara too...who would you please though?

45 plus probably another 10 mins of injury time to hold on to this lead and/or try to increase it.

replace!

I'd be tempted to take Rutter off and have Archie there with Kamara and Gruev behind him.

So, a question before the 2nd half starts, how many were nervous when Bamford stood by the spot with the ball in his hands?.

Take off Bamford as he is on a yellow? But defo need to tighten up the midfield. They are walking through us.

He was just acting as ball boy. If he ever gets to take a pen for us again there will be Leeds fans everywhere having heart failure

Not sure I’m ready for second half

Can't fault the effort so far.

Come ONNNNNNN Leeds!!!

Look how far they are pushing up… surely we can hit these on the counter

Don't think we'll see Joseph till late unless Boro level

Gruev is just not doing anything, we need more presence in middle

possession too easy for Boro right now

What did Farke say at half time for us to come out like this… odd. We playing on counter?

They are keeping it well, we cannot get a kick

Here comes the sitting back waiting for the punch
