Phillips was a different player second half, as was Vieira. Both dug in and scrapped and did not get bullied as they did in first half.
A win on Friday will really get us going
A good ground out win overall. Great team effort, tactics spot on against this Villa team
Phillips & Viera are being asked to do a lot at their age. Anchoring a defensive midfield against some solid opposition. Well done them.
We just came through a tough test
Some flashes of brilliance late on
Best thing about Monk is that he doesn't pander to favourites and everybody gets a chance
He does. He said he would back in pre season
Just ended Steve Bruce's 7 game unbeaten streak.
Everybody please raise a glass to Garry monk and what he is getting out of this lot.
Average performances getting 3 points, is exactly what togetherness and a great pair of CBs can give you. Always stand a chance of winning games.
Honestly when I saw they went 3 i midfield against Phillips and Vieria I can't believe we have 3 points.
Elland road full, fans behind the team, and the players digging in for us. Can't ask for much more with our budget.
It's only just over three weeks til we play em again
Momentum building. Can only see us improving and likes of Hernandez and Bridcutt coming back and Roofe now looking the part.
Challenge is. When Pablo fit again you really knock kemars confidence if he comes straight back in at 10.
Really don't think either of them can play wide(to even 80% of their potential) so it's one or the other.
Thought we lacked a bit of know how in centre mid today and o'kane or bridcutt along side one of the young lads is the way to go.
Agree Rich. Bridcutt and Vieira for me.
Think like LIW said viera has better touch and more
Confident on tight areas to Phillips.
End of the day we don't know what bridcutt gonna be like in this team, but it's really evident that we need a bit more quality in there. There's some dodgy touches etc too often.
Green-7
Ayling -7

harj!
How many people would have guessed that we would take 9 points from games away to Norwich and Rotherham, and home to Newcastle and Villa at the start of the season?
Would have snapped your hand off for that return not two months ago! Excellent stuff!
Yes - can't argue with that Lubo!
I must admit I did shout "Come Onnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeds!!! quite a lot
Home now and pretty well cream crackered
But thoroughly enjoyed the game , Harj, VOF, Lancs & Mrs Lancs
Just checked my prediction
"I'm going for a 2-0 Scoreline with Sacko and Roofe finding the net "
Pretty close eh
Well done Highland! Shaun had a god prediction too!
Jonny, if Wood had let Sacko's shot trickle over the line I'd have been spot on
"Shaun had a god prediction too!"
god prediction ? Shaun the Prophet
"...if Wood had let Sacko's shot trickle ..."
That wouldn't have been a second goal!
