    I don't think Joseph realised how much space he had when he took that shot.

    Now Jacob Widell Zetterstrom in the home goal does have some work to do.

    Mateo Joseph is played in on goal and gets his shot off and the Swedish keeper turns it around the post for a Leeds corner.

    Ethan Ampadu has a pop from a long way out but the Leeds skipper's effort is... Not his best.

    Blackburn Rovers boss John Eustace speaking to BBC Radio Lancashire after their 1-0 loss to Hull City:

    "A disappointing result. It was a really difficult game and we created a couple of really good chances and we needed to be more clinical. It was never going to be pretty.

    "The effort the boys put in a few days ago was excellent and for them to put it in again, it was a big ask, but it was the same for both teams.

    "We had two or three golden chances that we needed to put away and we didn't.

    "Today wasn't our day. If we were a bit more clinical, maybe we could have come away with at least a point but also it's the Championship.

    "It's important you don't get carried away with the highs and the lows."

    Derby have just taken the sting out of this a little bit after Leeds' quick start to the game.

    The Whites are yet to force Jacob Widell Zetterstrom in the home goal into a save of any sort..

    We've just got to keep calm heads. We've got to show what we can do with the ball.

    We need to have some belief. Every ball we're playing is a bouncing ball, we can't afford to give it away after a couple of passing moves.

    Derby 0-0 Leeds

    Former Derby full-back Jayden Bogle is getting some rough treatment from his old side's fans this evening.

    He takes a heavy touch to see a Leeds attack cut short and the home team's fans aren't shy about letting him know what they think of that.

    Hull City head coach Ruben Selles speaking to BBC Radio Humberside after their 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers:

    "We are really happy. They are an intense team that is very clear in their idea.

    "The most important thing was to be competitive. Today we were competitive and took our chances.

    "The team is working really hard to get the results and fight for the club. We have a good platform and hopefully it's the beginning of another good run away from home.

    "We are creating enough and we need to know there is quality enough for us to keep on fighting."

    Derby DO enter the final third and win their first corner down their right after some good passing.

    Nathaniel Mendez-Laing swings it in but Leeds clear.

    I don't think Derby have entered the final third yet.

    Derby 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds' away record so far this season is the only thing stopping them from being clear at the top of the Championship table.

    They've managed just four wins from 11 games on the road so far this campaign.

    Derby 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds win a free-kick down their left and, after a lengthy wait, Largie Ramazani's ball into the near post area is cut out.

    Derby finally manage to get their foot on the ball after what has been a fraught opening 10 minutes for them.

    It's good tempo, it's good quality. We look strong, we look powerful.

    You don't want to speak too soon but it's surely just a matter of time.

    Mateo Joseph turns a shot wide from five yards out at the near post after great work down the Leeds left opens the home side up.

    He'll feel he should have done better.

    ALL Leeds so far.

    Derby at the moment are really just clinging on.

    They really need to get hold of possession, but so far they're still in the game.

    Suspect it's going to be a busy day for Rams goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom today.

    The Swede looks to cut out a ball in from the right from Willy Gnonto but spills it out into a dangerous area.

    Brenden Aaronson can't punish him though as his touch lets him down.

    Glad to see Daniel Farke rotating the squad, seems he might have learned from this time last year.

    Pete, Keighley

    Four changes by Leeds for this one. None from Derby. Will Leeds's fresher legs help them to a win?

    The away side doing the running in the opening moments.

    The hosts do well to scramble a Jayden Bogle cross clear but the ball is right back with the Whites.

    PLEASE let this be Rooney's final game as a manager anywhere.

    Jim, London

    I honestly cannot see how they can keep Rooney on board. Absolute sinking ship.

    Alex, Plymouth

    Today's 2-0 reverse at Oxford means Wayne Rooney's Plymouth are now four points adrift of safety and haven't won since 5 November...
