Was there a match on ? I was too absorbed in Six Nations misery.

Well done Albion !

Makes the last 7-games seem a little less daunting ... but in saying that I think we will have some say in the title chase and give them teams we play a scare at home
Pressure off us and pressure on the teams we play at the Amex, really looking forward to the games against Norwich, Bournemouth and Watford. Can we beat all three? I believe we can and probably lose to Huddersfield.

You can just see that happening, we always seem to up our game against the better teams

Can we just agree a deal with Halford and Bennett now so we don't have to have the July / August pain again. Then we'd have a pretty good spine with the midfield trio that started today.

''Blackburn's best chance of the first half fell to Ben Marshall but his powerful effort was tipped over by David Stockdale.
After the break, Tom Cairney's excellent cross found an unmarked Rhodes but the Scottish international was expertly denied by Stockdale down to his left.
The home side continued to push for an equaliser late-on but Olsson's rasping drive was saved by Stockdale as Brighton held on to their narrow lead.''

Part of the report from bbc website ...nice to see Stockade getting credit

A friend who was at the game said Stockdale was MOM.

I'm a fan. Trouble is if a goalkeeper makes a mistake, it really matters.

Just seen the table - what are Leeds doing in the top half? Get back down the bottom where you belong!

16th. 10 points clear with seven games to go. I'd be amazed if we need another point, to be honest.

I'm already 'on the beach'.

Hope that doesn't come back to bite you. Don't think it will, though.

Massive win. Sounds like Halford impressed at centre back again. He should definitely keep his place even though Dunk's suspension is finished.

The Rhodes save was outstanding. It WAS in. Blackburn WERE celebrating a goal. Then Stockdale's big hand appeared.

It's ok. Wednesday's late win against Rotherham in the game that kicked off late has pushed leeds down into the bottom half now.
