I have never felt so flat after a win. I'm off for a drink with Lowefield and the Donn.

I’d go for counselling first 🤣🤣

4 clean sheets in 6. Unbeaten away from home with the draw being against West Brom who have won their other 5 games.
The 2 games we’ve conceded have been incredibly unlucky not to win based on game and chances.
The 3 wins we’ve had have been strolls in the park.

I’d be shocked if we don’t get top 2. I get why there is negativity after last season but this has been a good start, league will start to take shape over the next 10 games.

Wished id just seen the result and not bothered watching it.

You're kidding, Best, aren't you? We should be annihilating Cardiff with ten players. We should be giving playing time to Tanaka, Rothwell, Issak and Piroe. We should be doing much more with corners and free kicks and we have to be more incisive. I will leave you with a statistic. We had 35 touches in their box. Think about that. Any team with that amount of possession has to be scoring more than two goals.

If this is the embodiment of Daniel Farke, God help us – and him. According to BBC, total touches in the box = Cardiff 2 - Leeds 39. And we only come away with 2 goals playing 10 men for most of the game. Something's got to change.

Touches in the box mean nothing if you have five players around you.

Hard to understand but some teams play ten behind the ball and are difficult to break down. Even Man City couldn’t score the other night!

Sheet happens.

Did we at any point not look like winning? From minute 1 to 98 we completely controlled the game.

We battered them. Finishing was poor. If Aaronson scores near post by shooting with right instead of weird decision to shoot with left or Ramazani scores a tap in by shooting anywhere but keeper or Struijk scores a penalty, we’d have won 3 nil and be saying easy win

Ok, I get your point, we got the win. At the end of the season, that's all that will count. But yet again, we miss golden opportunites. We also failed to give some proper playing time to our bench players, when there was very little risk. Farke is not getting the best out of his squad.

Next 3 games Coventry at home and then Norwich and Sunderland away will separate the men from the boys at the top of the table whereby if we are to be considered serious top 2 candidates I'd say we need to be getting 7 points but I'd take 5 tbh as that should still keep us top 6 at least but anything less than that and by that time it will be another international break I think the owners will give DF his marching orders and try and persuade Corberan to take over which even though apparently there's a £2 million release clause with WBA riding high he may decide to stay put so the next couple of weeks could be very interesting on and off the field.

Unbelievable demands. Leeds completely dominated the game and won away. There is nothing more that you can want or ask for from that.
