Scrappy game, didn't feel that we were really in control and I put that down to absence of Philips.
At this point though, all that is really important is the 3 points that take us a step closer to promotion despite Fulham getting a late winner.
Poor refereeing didn't help but we just weren't fluent, dominant selves.
Thought Bamford looked completely lost and it was telling that he wasn't in first bunch of players to congratulate Klich, he's looking more distinct from the rest of the players than before and now 2 games in 1 match in last 12 matches, he's not the answer for our striking role.
Augustin injured, one wonders if he'll get to make any impact at all this season.
Happy for Klich to score as he's been working and working and working and its essential others chip in with goals when our striker is off form.
At the end of the day its a hard fought win, away from home and hopefully no more injuries picked up.
Thoughts from tonight

I think he thought he was offside, he looked well off and 2 Boro players had actually stopped to appeal. Shocking effort non the less. As for the penalties, Harrison definitely should have got the second one, Costa's was soft but still a shove none the less, think VAR woulda given them.

....on another thread...Beradi coming back in...I just saw this stat. Surprised me a bit.
“
Gaetano Berardi has the highest points per game average (2.4) of any Leeds player this season (+5 matches). He also has the highest clean sheets percentage (62.5%) of any Leeds player (+5 matches). His only league defeat this season came when he was wrongly dismissed v Millwall.”

Berardi has always been a favourite of mine so I feel quite annoyed that the club aren’t renewing his contract. I think he deserves one more than Hernandez, who I think is feeling his age now. Even just a one year contract would do to see how he performs if we are in the Prem. I know he will always give 100% and some fans get annoyed when he gets red carded for being over enthusiastic, but he has fitted in well at Leeds and I would be really sorry to see him go.

Agreed on that. He’s been great this season when needed.

I heard his old man had a fling with Kirkstall Kate after 10 pints in the Cardy. Bera is Leeds through and through.

Another thing you’d never have thought at the beginning of this season....
.... 19-20 Championship
Gaetano Berardi cautions 0
Marcelo Bielsa cautions 3

To be honest I'd keep him at least one more year too.
There is no guarantee at all that white will be here next year, I'd even go as far as to say its more unlikely than it is likely.
That would need you replacing both of them best year.
There is also the fact he can play across the back which makes him useful.
I'd defo keep him around for cover if nothing else

White will be hot property at the end of this season with Brighton likely to cash in on what could be an excessive fee.
If we do get promoted I expect us to look for defensive bargains currently plying their trade in the second tiers of Spanish and French football. Probably two experienced players and five investment-related youngsters who will be loaned out to a German third tier club.....
