Hello there, Lee Sobot at the Yorkshire Evening Post here from Ellen Road.
00:06
And Ellen Road where we have just seen a first league defeat of the season for Daniel Fark's side
00:12
as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Blackburn Rovers and no other way of putting it other than a huge opportunity blown.
00:20
Again for the Whites on the back of a really good result for them on Friday night in terms of Leicester City
00:26
falling to defeat at Plymouth Argyle and basically here they've blown the chance to not just go top
00:32
but to have gone into the automatic promotion places and really you've got to ask now quite what will happen with this season.
00:39
There's every chance they still might finish top two. There's definite chances of that no matter what happens
00:45
in terms of the results between when Leeds finish off here and when they play next against Middlesbrough
00:51
there'll be a long gap to that one a week on Monday night. But if they keep on with these results at the moment
00:57
then they definitely won't be going up and if this theme continues of just struggling to create really
01:03
and just an extremely, extremely disappointing afternoon here and this is a defeat remember against the side in Blackburn Rovers
01:09
who were thumped 5-0 in midweek at Bristol City who were fighting relegation and obviously it was an extremely
01:16
disappointing when Leeds were held to a goalless draw against Sunderland in midweek and that's only got worse here
01:21
with the 1-0 defeat against Blackburn and no surprise who got the only goal of the goal, Sammy Smoddick's the league's top scorer.
01:27
He had a bit of a frustrating first half, he looked quite fired up and angry that Blackburn weren't really getting up the pitch
01:32
but he was much better in the second half and with 82 minutes on the clock Leeds were dominating and pushing forward
01:37
but you sort of expected that but basically a route one goal but a very neat goal nevertheless.
01:41
Ball flicked on, second ball through to Smoddick's and once he was 1-1 with Melie, the championship's top scorer
01:47
was not going to miss and a wide and neat finish and that was that. Leeds tried to rally, there was added time
01:52
there still wasn't enough added time really, especially in the first half, one minute when you think about how much time
01:57
Blackburn wasted in terms of taking ages with everything but you can't blame that, the referee wasn't great either.
02:02
Leeds felt they should have had a penalty at the end when Patrick Bamford went down in the box and they did look to be
02:07
something in that but ultimately they just ran out of ideas there and an awful lot of shots and attempts at goal
02:12
I think it was 18 attempts, an awful lot of possession as you would expect but not really a sort of game where you
02:18
thought how did he miss that, how did he miss that, how did he miss that, there were just lots of decent enough chances
02:23
I mean they did come close, Dan James flashed one across goal when Nonto went into the post to try and finish from close range
02:29
there was a good chance for Emilia Gruev in the first half when he put the ball wide from a Nonto cutback.
02:34
Nonto was excellent in taking off, I think everybody was scratching their head at that but basically Daniel Farke said
02:39
he was just coming back from injury and you can tell that and the substitutions will be questioned, everything will be
02:45
questioned because Leeds have fallen to a 1-0 defeat. Really nice moment at half time when everybody paid tribute to
02:50
Stuart Dallas, the score was goalless at that time, I think everybody still hoped they'd go on and win the game but they didn't
02:55
they've fallen to a 1-0 defeat and plenty of questions to answer now in this season's All Black promotion race. That's all for now.
