A Thursday Night War of the Roses!
Through the vagaries of Football League scheduling, we have a clash between my beloved LUFC and Blackburn at Elland Road tonight. I can't say that I'm full of confidence about tonight's match given our recent form, scrapping away for draws against the likes of Fulham and Bolton. So, I suppose I wouldn't mind another battling score-draw tonight, which would put us at 14 points from 14 matches. Low expectations, eh?
Join me to follow tonight's proceedings from 3:45pm EST onward.

Good afternoon, Bob. I will try to be around for the first half, providing I can get a working link.
I think I found a working link. I'm good to go I think
Bloody hell - we're 0-1 down inside the first minute!
Grrrr!!!
Now two down . Sorry mate.
Afternoon, MUR - this one could be an effort in real frustration. Evans must go soon.
I give up.
I am having trouble finding a working link and am feeling the same as you
I'm about to head home; not sure I'm going to continue to watch this dross.
At least we haven't conceded a third goal yet (sigh)....
Sorry mate. Leeds still down due to goals by Craig Conway in the first minute and Jordan Rhodes in the 16th minute.
64% Blackburn possession so far - away from home (sigh)....
I'm home now. We're still 0-2 down at the start of the second half.
First change for us. Jordan Botaka coming on.
Absolutely no urgency from the Leeds side. Blackburn are playing it about for fun.
We haven't had a home win since March!
Blackburn players are incensed at that head clash and are demanding some retribution. It does look like a nasty blow on Grant Hanley's face.
Looks like a 50/50 challenge on the replay - no malice at all.
Blackburn are down to ten men while Hanley is off the pitch. Murphy is coming back on.
That was the first promising move that I have seen. Liam Cooper feeding Antenucci on the side who whips in a cross that's just too high for Chris Wood.
Wood, who's had an ineffectual night, is off replaced by Souleymane Doukara.
The home supporters beginning to drift out. Sad.
TIme's about up now. Blow up, ref - we've all seen enough.
That's it - another dismal evening at Elland Road. That's two draws and a home loss under Steve Evans' tenure. Would Uwe Rosler have done worse - doubt it.
Evans has got to go and sooner rather than later.
Over and out for tonight, lads.
