I suspect GB meant that from a spirit point of view because in the last three season we would have got nothing from that game. It was nice to see another side crumble rather than Rovers for a change. In terms of the play I thought Leeds were brighter in midfield as well as sharper but up front seemed a bit lacking.

From Rovers point of view a long way off the desired standard but certainly desreved something from the game but probably not all three points.

On a more general point, Rvblue, how often have we played REALLY well this season, especially for a whole game? And yet we are in the top six. There's no doubt we have done pretty well to grind out points. I wonder if we can take that extra step by dominating the opposition and playing decent football.

Totally agree with that observation Aucks. We have only really dominated in spells. Leeds paid the price yesterday for easing off and allowed Rovers to start applying some pressure which quickly told.

I don't know why we always seem to start cautious. We never get any real impetus from the off. We always appear to fear the opposition too much and yesterday the players certainly seemed to be affectedby the leeds fans.

To be fair the league is too even to expect Rovers to totally dominate teams anymore so grinding out results appears to be where its at for us.

It is a shame neither Conway or King are on form this year as an extra dimension there or from a breaking forward midfielder would really worry the opposition. We seem to be the nearly men still but there are signs of progress but Boro away is a massive fixture and if we were to win there then that would be a real statement.
