Leeds did play well, as a team, and looked like they were enjoying their football.  Derby though were terrible.
I thought they'd be flying after their win at Albion in the cup last week but they were awful. That was probably the best result for us; win tomorrow and we're 2 points behind Derby. Leeds will finish in the play offs comfortably. I said we'd finish 9th at the start of the season and I stick by that, we'll fall short.

Leeds have runners from midfield but no stand out individual quality.

Results breed confidence

Yep, momentum is a big factor in any sport.

It's all about midfield Bren'd. So far in this league, ours has been worse than Derby, Leeds would have overrun us tonight.

Smethwick should be five down already.  As it is I'll settle for 2-0 down after 25 minutes.

Jesus they should be another two down at least.  Great save from Foster.

That's a fair point, it's a bit like deciding on which is less painful from root canal surgery or visiting the mother in law.

Wba can't be any worse 2nd half. They have a few tools to get a goal. Set up wrong first half and Bruce actually put  pulis to shame as both wba and villa looked to contain spurs first half. What teams should do have a go a bit sometimes . Rondon Chadli and Phillips decent players skills should be utilised. If teams take game to opposition or at least offer counter attacking threat but fear of losing is too much for some. Wba prob lose 4 -1 or 4-2 ultimately

They are excellent and will be right up there for the title. I'm massively jealous of what they have become with good ownership, management and player recruitment/development.

I really like Pochettino. Which is a shame because I really don't like Spurs. It's a bit like when Zidane was playing, which was marvellous except that he was playing for Juve and Real.
