Possession 50% 50% 0 mins Leeds United Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn have won more often at Elland Road since then and it took them just 17 seconds to set up a first away win of the season and a repeat of their victory here in April.

After drawing his first two matches in charge, Steve Evans is still seeking a winning formula and he has plenty of options available should he wish to make any changes to his starting line up, with the likes of Scott Wootton, Giuseppe Bellusci, Alex Mowatt, Souleymane Doukara and Will Buckley all vying for recalls.

And the Scotland worldwide, whose father Andy is a friend of Evans, easily beat Sam Byram before steering home a shot from 15 yards to claim his eighth goal in nine games. All you can do is try isn’t it?

“Rather than play a containment game, which is what’s been happening since the start of the season, we’re going to play attacking football”.

“We’re capable of getting a result or two with the squad we have, but so many people have to give us more”.

Steve Evans has revealed he is looking to bring a new goalkeeper to Leeds to add competition to Marco Silvestri.

“But I think we have improved in the last two matches because we created a lot of chances”.

Leeds have failed to win any of their last 11 games at Elland Road, losing six of them.

With thoughts turning towards tonight’s game, Evans says that a win for the Whites is not only desirable but also achievable at Elland Road.

Steve Evans stopped the rot that was four defeats in five games with successive draws away to Fulham and Bolton, though his notoriously demanding boss may have expected even more given that the former were on a winless streak and the latter are bottom of the Championship.

Leeds fans could be heard chanting against the club’s owner Massimo Cellino, as well as various other subjects, as they expressed their frustration on Thursday night – Blackburn had gone 2-0 up within six minutes.

“They haven’t got the rewards that a few of their play has deserved this season, but here they did”.
