Dirty Leeds

Solomon rested, James comes in. Firpo returns.

Cue the twatter tactical geniuses having meltdowns because Joseph not starting

Nice to see Dan James get the credit he deserves these days. Newsome and Popey saying he's best player in the league.

Lazy sky commentator after his goal v Luton said his end product is an issue but his pace is always a threat. Bollocks, guy scores for fun at this level. 16 goals in 50 appearance is great productivity for a winger. Assume he has a few assists too and is around a goal contribution every other game.

Piroe is at this juncture a better striker than Joseph and it’s not even close. He’s a legit fox in the box and a 20 goals a season player minimum if he is played regularly. I know he does nothing other than slap it in the onion bag but that’s what I want in a striker. Don’t care if he’s a lazy cunt, finishers finish.

He's averaging a goal every 117 minutes. Second best ratio in the Championship. Can't drop him for a bit of added athleticism. Joseph just doesn't have goals to his game yet unfortunately.

From Smyth:

Max Wober and James Debayo were just called by fitness coach Chris Domogalla to do the last little bit of the starting line-up's warm-up. Shuttle runs etc. Don't think I can recall any of the subs being required for that before.

Hmmm wonder if someone has picked up a knock in the warm up

My thoughts exactly

Fans saying that no food or drink at the ground due to Blackburns payment system being offline. Grim.

Struijk has a problem

Struijk turned easily, Tanaka commit the foul. 1-0
