Good win yesterday, fans were at it again. I went to the game and didn't see the penalty incident, but I've been told that if anything it was a foul on ayling. Still 3 points and Garry given nothing to brag about. A few players caught my eye for good and bad reasons. let's start with good, pablo hernandez. I imagine TC has been waiting for that attacking trio of hernandez, saiz, and alioski to play like that all season, and yesterday they did, so fair play TC for sticking to your guns. Pablo deserved man of the match, bu i also think alioski, vieira, and jansson did too. Good to see players working hard and winning the ball first, and if they dont, going and winning it, something okane doesn't do enough of. Phillips shone again, been saying it for weeks he deserves his place week in week out, and i imagine he will start on wednesday. Ayling a good performer too, brilliant first half, we'd be lost without him and i struggle to see why we should change any of that back 4 for the next few games, its brilliant everyone loves a challenge. My worries are roofe, lonergan, and dallas. Roofe has gone right off the pace since signing lasogga, i don't think he's scored and his performances are poor, he seems lazy. Ekuban ahead of him in the pecking order for ST role IMO, i like ekuban he works hard and chases everything, we've nto seen much of him infront of goal but if its good we should consider starting him more. If Lasogga not fit i think ekuban deserves a stat on wednesday. Lonergan can't seem to catch a ball and looks nervous with it on the ground, we are lucky we have such good defenders otheriwse we would concede a lot more i think. Finally I worry for dallas, he hasn't really kick started his season fully for us yet and its a shame because he's a great player, versatile, strong, and a very good shot. With that attacking 3 playing as they were yesterday he won't get a look in, maybe he could come on against woles, or start against barnsley hopefully. I like him and he deserves more game time. Antonsson scored 2 at the weekend, anyone mind bringing him back in january, 6 in 11 appearances for blackburn this season, more than he's scored in a leeds shirt, is league one his level, or did he not get a chance because of wood?

Did you watch the same game, it was one of roofe's best game in a leeds shirt.

I also think Roofe had a good game. Apart from being instrumental in the second goal, he worked hard and did the things PML and Wood don't do. He moves around and gets involved. This team doesn't need a target man waiting for the ball. Roofe may not be the answer long term - and Ekuban did enough to indicate he's going to be a handful - but Roofe did well for us yesterday.

Some good points, that I do agree with Samo, partic re Phillips and the creative 3 linking very well. However, like others, I disagree re Roofe. I thought he ran himself into the ground yesterday, was always available, hassled there defence endlessly, and his play for the second goal was class. I'm hoping he'll keep it up no, so we have some real competition upfront. especially if we do bring nations on back. MOT!

Don't understand what roofe would have to do to impress you, yesterday was one of his best games and he played really well, ran his socks off and created the opening for Hernandez to cross for the second goal. Agree with the other points and ekuban does look a good good handful but roofe deserves another start after yesterday

Top player is young Rooooooooooooofe :) he's not the quickest but he is one of the best close controllers of the ball in the squad.

Issue with Roofe is he will only run if he's on the ball, start of the season I used to think he was great and excellent down the right. If he's off the ball i don't think he closes down enough, ekuban does this all day long. Roofe can score goals, he just didn't get enough opportunity, he took his chance in impressing on Sunday but he is still a fringe player and needs to prove himself.

He's already proved himself, stick him down the middle, interchanging with Saiz and Pablo . it's his position ! !
