Here are our four talking points from Leeds United's 0-0 draw with Norwich City at Carrow Road in the Championship play-off semi-final as it remains even going into the second leg

The Patrick Bamford narrative trundles on, even when he’s not in the same county as his team-mates. That’s the thing about this relationship between Bamford and Leeds United supporters, he’s either playing brilliantly and being adored, playing badly and being chastised or absent entirely and being missed.

The dearth of alternatives to play off the side’s main striker has long meant Rutter has been the best option there, but with Gray holding his own, the fans might call for Mateo Joseph over Rutter on Thursday night. Farke’s selections up to now have left little doubt he does not fully trust the Spaniard, so it’s going to be Rutter vs Piroe in his eyes.

Kenny McLean, the commanding 32-year-old veteran of two Championship titles under Farke, was only too happy to make his presence felt early on with Gray. The Leeds man did not hide away from that challenge, though. He grew into the game and the more it wore on the more space and confidence he found.Meslier has to hold off his Casilla moment Sheer mention of the play-offs will send shivers down many Leeds spines.

Long before the end Joe Rodon was not even hiding his dismay with some of the service the goalkeeper was giving him and their defence. The most notable was when Meslier went to pass to Ilia Gruev on the edge of their box when he was surrounded by three Norwich City attackers.
