Suits me, that Southampton made it. I can normally get a ticket via a friendly contact there.

This is disappointing. Southampton is dull. Leeds is a great day out.

They can keep Walker-Peters, but I'd swap Hardwood-Bellis for Downes. Not that they would agree to that I don't think.

Great result! Unfortunately, a few Yorkshire lass’s will be copping a beating tonight.

A step up in quality on the departing Phillips in the Squad too without even spending a penny. Massive bullet dodged.

Hopefully Downes features in our plans for next season, certainly should do. Has been the best sitting midfielder in the Championship this season.

I like that Russell Martins style. One to keep an eye on for the future, think he'll go far in the game over time.

Apparently so, Exile. Hopefully we don't let him leave, unless they offer a silly offer for him. We paid £12M for him when at Swansea, so if they want him, it's got to be a few bob more than that with how important he is to their side and the way they play all season.

Downes is the lynchpin in midfield for Southampton. Always avaiable, plays 1 or 2 touch and keeps it simple. But also glides forward now and then. Good strong tackles and quick pressing interceptions.
Deserves his chance in a passing team and might allow the more skillful Alvarez to carry the ball and get forward more. Its faster and easier to get booked in the Prem but he needs a chance in his favoured position. Good squad addition but might have to accept he wont be playing 90 mins every week like at Southampton.

Thought it was a game low on quality, Leeds were awful, wouldn't be at all surprised if Farckner, fuckner, whatever it is, is sacked, complete failure.
Wtf was Dustin Hoffman doing there?

Can't claim to have seen much else of them this season, but after seeing the Leeds forwards who everyone seems to rate, I wouldn't take any of them, thought they were all pony.
As for Adam Armstrong, hahaha. Thankfully we'll be aiming for better than that.

Hasn't Russell Martin said he wants to keep Downes?

Good work, Downes. Excellent season and doing it in a passing Team set up too.

Hmm, not so sure about Armstrong in the Premier League. For 2 seasons with Southampton in the Prem he failed badly. He strikes me more of a quality Championship player but maybe he's learnt from his time in the Prem before. I wouldn't be keen to go for him now, we should be setting our sights higher for a new Striker.

Downes having a good game. Take him back and keep him. Adam Armstrong is too good for Saints too. We could do with Leeds nicking this and getting him in sharpish.

That Summerville isn’t a bad player but, he’s wearing gloves! It’s June next week FFS.

Downes playing well. Lovely 1st time pass to start the move off for the goal and mopping up defensively just stopping a 4 on 1 breakaway.
Never understood loaning him out this season, he's a Premier League player.
