Leeds United fans react after bad early start vs Blackburn

Today’s early kick-off at Ewood Park between Blackburn and Leeds United promised to a lively one with a lot at stake.

A win for the visiting Whites would temporarily lift them to the top of the table, whilst three points for the home side would fire them into the play-off places ahead of this afternoon’s main glut of games.

It is the first game after the recent international break, one where Leeds United were looking to kick on with the two-week lay-off giving them a chance to nurse injured duo Gaetano Berardi and Kemar Roofe back to fitness and back into the side.

In fairness, United didn’t even get into the blocks fully, let alone out of them, before Blackburn took the lead from an early corner.

Simple routine – ball in from the corner, Danny Graham gets a run on the Leeds United defenders; 1-0 from a glanced header. All too simple, all too Leeds.

That early goal was also an early kick in the teeth for the near-8,000 legion of travelling Leeds United fans. It obviously wasn’t the start they wanted, and they were quick enough to voice their opinions over on Twitter.

Here’s what some of them had to say and how some of them reacted:

The disappointment there, in reaction, is palpable. What they early goal did do was to give Leeds United more of a sense of urgency. The Whites pushed on and began to create chances, testing the home side. It was a game that was beginning to open out, both teams having opportunities as the half wore on.

You get the feeling that it will be a game that doesn’t end 1-0; not with the amount of chances that are being created.
