Watching again I think Bamford did it on purpose. He flicked it to the right
and almost dived into the goalie. Think he was looking for a pen rather than
just chipping the fucker (the goalie that is).

I think it was a 50/50. Bamford's first touch was poor and I think the
covering defender may well have got to the ball before him if he had been able
to stay on his feet. Of course PBs touch might have been poor because he
was/or about to be poleaxed by the keeper, but if you watch it I think the Ref
had a decision to make on that basis. I guess he decided the defender would
have covered it and therefore Goalie wasn't the last defender.

Agree 100% that the keeper should have got a red for that foul, referees not
applying the laws / rule is one of the most annoying aspects of football - I
can accept them making mistakes but failure to apply the law should see them

Only one thing to disagree with here, and one thing that's missing. The
disagreement is the 5 for Bamford, which is a bit harsh since he scored the
all-important first goal. I'm not Bamford's biggest fan, but when a
center-forward criticized for not taking chances actually scores, I think he
deserves more than 5 out of 10. Bamford's also key to the incident that I was
surprised neither you nor Dave mentioned in your match reports, which was the
ref's inexcusable failure to send off the Blackburn keeper after he'd taken out
Bamford. If the ref had done his job, Blackburn would have been down to ten men
and we might have scored one or two more (with goal difference threatening to
be important this season). The ref's lucky that the decision didn't affect the
points, otherwise there'd have been much more heard about it, I suspect.
Cheers!

First 30 minutes was the most open game Leeds have been involved in this season
and it really could have gone either way. They hit the post and had really good
opportunites that they should have put away. But once we scored through some
brilliant harrying from Klich there was only going to be one winer. Blackburn
put everything into that first 45 minutes and as a result had little to offer
in the 2nd half apart from one spectacular free kick, which was never a free
kick in the first place, Philips was just trying to get out of the way. Our
fitness levels are top notch and with 10 minutes to go rather than just hanging
on for the win we continually pushed forward in wave after wave and really
should have doubed out total. Even Douglas was crossing in the area late on.
For me, this was by far our best performance since the restart and I think it's
a performance that tips the momentum our way again. I think playing without
Costa gave us a more solid look and maybe playing with Harrison and Costa
together is too much of luxury. Meslier (silent S apparently) - 7. I thought he
did well throughout. I worry about their goal as he his completely reliant on
the wall when he stands that far left of the goal. It invites the taker to put
it in top right corner and when he did, Meslier didn't even move. Compare that
to Philips, at least their keeper was able to get across and make an effort,
Ayling - 8. Bac kto his best, some good defence work and did well getting
forward too. Douglas - 7. Arguably his best game for Leeds. Still unsure about
his defensive abilities. Cooper - 8. Solid.
White - 9. Man of the match for me. Commanding with and without the ball. Luton
was a blip. Allioski - 7. I thought he was busy and really worked hard. Could
have had a couple himself if he had a brain when it comes to keeping on side.
Klich - 9. I thought this was Klich at his best. His energy levels and work
rate in that foirst half were incredible but more importantly he was creating
chances and mking things happen. Glad he got his goal.
Phillips - 8. Much better from Kalvin. His free kick was top drawer an
hopefully we'll see more of these now he's bagged one. I thought he linked up
the midfield well and worked hard. Harrison - 7. Not as involved as usual but
certainly had his moment. Bamford - 5. I thought he was poor whether it was
keeping onside or playing a simple pass straight to the opposition. Yes he got
his goal and hit the post with two side footed shots but he needs to push on.
Roberts - 5. Didn't do much.
Subs:
Hernandez - lively as always
Shack - came on and looked lively, I like Shack.
So on to Stoke, Thursday at 5pm , how fecking stupid is that ?
