Already got a small bet on Leeds to go down, and at 14/1 tempted to put on a bit more. Not that I think they WILL be relegated. I think they will very probably be safe. But those odds do look like good value right now.
What I saw last night (as opposed to the story of Leeds' superhuman ability based on the mythical 'murderball' I was being fed by the commentators) was a very clear tactic by Wolves. Which worked. Soak up the pressure first half, hit them hard when they begin to flag and then sit back again and see the game out. For me it always looked comfortable. Not every team will have the ability to play it like that, but given that Leeds won't change the way they play, I won't be surprised if they start to struggle more often as managers know what to expect and set up to nullify. Leeds are certainly impressive in attack, and fun to watch, but I'm not sure that they are quite good enough to make up for the risks they take in defence. As above, we are still early days, and haven't settled enough to get a proper sense of how the season is likely to play out.

My mate and both said Leeds looked very Championship last night, alright first half and then ran out of steam like a championship side in a cup game against PL opposition.Already got a small bet on Leeds to go down, and at 14/1 tempted to put on a bit more.
