[Football] Leeds United

1 - 4

Leeds are brilliant in attack.

They certainly are. Enjoyed watching that and Bielsa's high pressing template is already evident.

Their defence will let them down at times. Ayling is a dick, Cooper is a red card waiting to happen and Berardi has at least 2 ricks per game. Douglas is brilliant going forwards and deadly with free kicks around the box but, again, suspect defensively. The keeper looks like he should still be doing a paper round!

Roofe has been exceptional in the first 2 games and could well be Champ top scorer as they create shitloads of chances. But Saiz is their best player by a mile.

Leeds playing us next season if we stay up.

Suits me! (So long as they fail miserably)

L**ds wont go up

They looked very good in both of their games so far. However I do wonder if their opponent bets have flattered them a bit. Derby are not all that and are only seen as better because Frank has gone there. Stoke are still finding their feet.

Let’s see how they do against an organised championship team like Preston or Millwall.

Kept getting slated on NSC for raving about Bielsa. Wish he'd gone somewhere else and let's see how they've done after 10 games but......

2-0 up away to the inbreds. They have a proper team for the first time in 15 years.

Isn't it largely the same team that got off to a flyer and was top at the end of September last season?

It’s Leeds.

Not so sure this time. Scoring for fun and playing some really good stuff. Tuesday at Swansea (coming from behind twice) shows they've got a bit more bottle than in previous years.

Elsewhere in the Championship -

A clean sheet for Mäenpää away to Swansea.



Which is nice.


We really ought to get all the former player performances into one thread.

It's shaping up nicely at the top, some colossal clubs up there. But what a slog with another 35 games to go.

Totally agree....I wonder how many players have ever experienced promotion from the Championship in three consecutive seasons ...Oliver Norwood has a chance

I love the Albion being PL, but a little bit of me misses the non-stop EFL matches to gauge how thing's really are going on the pitch. More football, less armchair analysing and media hype.

Leeds were minutes away from losing at home to Blackburn, but scored late goals again, to win.

Going well in their promotion push.

They did it last week against Villa. 2-0 down 3-2 with Roofe scoring the winner in injury time like today.

I remember. I could’ve watched that on Sky and I wished I had. At half time the Villans cockily thought they had it in bag and that Dean Smith had turned them into the only force in the league.

My friend sent me a video from the stands. Giving it back to the villa.

Can it be forwarded to NSC?

Going by our posts, I guess you’re not at the Amex either.
