Good match report in the Independent today

[Bluejuice]

It is one of football's enduring mysteries. Every club has a team against whom they regularly come unstuck for no logical reason.

The bogey team for Leeds is Brighton. The Yorkshire club have failed to get the better of the south coast strugglers in four attempts in the Championship, despite overwhelming financial advantages.

Leeds were beaten for the second season running at Withdean, the converted athletics stadium acting as Brighton's temporary home.

They lost two players last time, with Paul Butler and Matthew Kilgallon given red cards. This time, even with the referee on their side, they conceded two goals, leaving manager Kevin Blackwell red with anger.

I'm not pleased that we lost, that's for sure," said the former goalkeeper trying to guide Leeds back into the Premiership. "To be fair to Brighton they turned it into something of a cup tie. It was a physical encounter and they really disrupted our pattern of play.

Was it not Kilgallon that kicked OGH in the head, or that late tackle on Fruity.... I thought they were much more physical. He talks as if we changed the game into some physical battle...

Great article though!

Even the Times conceded that, 'Brighton brimmed with invention in spells'

Telegraph also gives a very good write up on the game - stating that there was "plenty to admire" in our play

Agreed. That sums up why Leeds always lose to us. They obviously underestimate us every time and then start getting very ratty when we don't just roll over.

They turn it into a physical battle themselves by launching into tackles and losing their rag.

It comes to something when Leeds United - the club that pretty much invented the "dirty" game in this country - start moaning about others being physical
