Great result....
Hope BM is not taking all credit.
Am sure some of the LUFC players were trying to impress the possible new Italian coach/manager sitting in the stand.
Note: he was at the stand when the team drew in the last game after 5 straight losses..!!
Sure the players are playing for BM?

I was worried when I saw Ross being played alone upfront, really pleased I was proved wrong today

If they have any integrity and self respect, then yes they did.
If not, they can take Cellino with them and get the f out of Leeds

I heard it mentioned on BBC Radio Leeds pre-game and did notice it, but I felt we were playing 4-3-3, or at least, 4-3-2-1. Kebe and Stewart were playing more advanced than normal, left us a bit more open on the flanks with Warnock and Byram often having two men to deal with but it brought the best out of Kebe and Stewart.

I have to agree Aussie,
I think playing well in second half was a double edged sword performance.
Playing for BM and playing for new potential owners, it does pose the question whether they were fully behind BM or not.
BM has won 15 games out of 36.
BM had no win in the last 8 games prior to udders.
Most of BM's signing haven't panned out.
The fuel in this fire was the way BM got sacked, nice guy as he is, I think Cellino recognised BM's track record is not very good.
Add the fact that Cellino has fraud convictions against him and you get shades of Bates, then throw on the fact he's sacked 30 managers in past does contribute to the blazing bonfire that transpired.
GFH were big contributors in the fact they lied to everyone and allowed the sacking to take place plus, their only interest is money, not the players or team or club.
Eventually this will all die down reducing the raging bonfire to smouldering embers and then extinguished, but memories don't die so easy.
Cellino and Co now have an idea what he's up against in regards to Leeds fans, the message has been clearly sent "we've had enough of being taken for fools and used, this our club and we pay our money; deliver the goods or feel our Wrath"
Someone should explain to Cellino, this is English football, not Italian Circus football.

Leeds assistant manager Nigel Gibbs insisted United's 5-1 win against Huddersfield Town was down to Brian McDermott.

If yesterdays result was down to B McDermot.Why has he not been getting the same commitment in previous games?.I like B McD but he has to ask himself as well as the players,why they could not put shifts in like that more consistantly.After all we lost and found it hard to beat worse teams than Huddersfield.Even if you consider the fact,we are not one of the better teams in this league,we should never have been outplayed by the likes of Rochdale.

Aside from other factors, did the 31k crowd play any part?
The 12th man effect?

Or maybe it was just Brian's decision to change to 4-3-3 which brought the best out of Kebe and Stewart and bring back Mowatt and Murphy?

Pro, accordingto Gibbs, they played just the way BeeMacDee set them up and practised on Friday.
So I think you are right!
