Rothwell anger, Farke's touchline gesture, Bamford slaps and Leeds United moments missed

Leeds United lost 1-0 to Millwall at The Den on Wednesday night and here are some of the moments you may have missed. If you were to rank the 92 league clubs in England on the probability of them hosting a pre-match lights show, Millwall would almost certainly be in your bottom five.

Visitors to The Den will see the hostility of the home crowd, but even for those who have never been, cinema has seen to the club’s wider reputation. Films like Green Street and The Football Factory would certainly not have suggested the hard men of Millwall would be cheering on a lights show at their home ground.

As it was, Leeds fans were left looking bemused and the home support was audibly booing in some sections.

Gnonto’s off-ball distraction

Wilfried Gnonto was up against Ryan Leonard as Millwall’s right-back on Wednesday night. Given their respective CVs and attributes, the latter held up pretty well against the tricky Italy international.

In the first half, there was one moment where the full-back actually had Gnonto on his backside. As he went to control the ball, Leonard twisted one way and then the other, which left Gnonto slipping and on the deck, much to the crowd’s amusement.

After that, once the ball had moved away from them, Leonard could be seen sharing a few jovial words within the 21-year-old about what had happened.

Rothwell’s roar of anger

In the first half, Joe Rothwell was stood over a well-placed free-kick down the left channel. Rather than swing the ball in onto the far post with his right boot, Rothwell went for a shot at the near side, but completely fluffed it.

It was effectively a pass to the goalkeeper and the midfielder could be seen screaming at himself for the poor connection as he trotted away.

Farke’s time-wasting frustration

As early as the 58th minute, Daniel Farke could be seen pointing to his watch in the air for the referee’s attention. Millwall were noticeably taking as long as possible every time the ball went dead, which is their prerogative in the circumstances.

When the board went up with four extra minutes at the end, Farke was furious with the fourth official and amazed how little had been added on.

Bamford’s full-time pain

Patrick Bamford did not have long on the field to have any real impact on Wednesday’s match. That did not ease the pain of the loss, however. As the striker went off after full-time, he was slapping the outreached hands of his team-mates, but in a highly exaggerated, frustrated manner with a big swing each time.
