Which is what it will be within a couple of years.
We can only admire a club that has its future properly protected.

It’s not often something that’s positively commented on, but I thought the ref was really good yesterday.

I thought both Targett and Klich were lucky to stay on the pitch, but apart from that I agree.

It's been like that for 30 odd years. Elland Road is absolutely shite.
it always reminds me of The Trillion Trophy Stadium.


The only difference being Leeds will be able to use all four stands when fans return.
why is that ?

They can only use two stands at the moment.

He might need a new whistle as the one he used last night must be worn out.  He didn’t get much wrong though and a difficult one for him with the state of that pitch.

A ground share with Solihull Moors??? And Coventry too. Has any ground have 3 teams sharing it at any one time, I wonder?

I'm not sure what's the more embarrassing for them, Bellend Road or Leeds-Bradford Airport which is, by a fucking mile, the worst airport I've ever been to.

As a complete aside, doesn't Leeds-Bradford have the shortest runway of any of the main airports in the country?

Probably the best start to a match since Burnley and an very well taken goal by the Dutch master. Ball retention 2nd half was very poor and decent crosses into their box were virtually non existent, I would expect a big improvement in that area on Wednesday.

However yesterday was a defensive master class, we totally nullified any threats Leeds had and this was against one of the best attacking sides in the league. Apart from Man City, we've got as good a defence as any one in the league, Martinez, Konsa and Mings all brilliant yesterday and a special mention has to go to Marvelous, he's got a great attitude, despite hardly playing this season, always has a smile on his face, after his display yesterday must surely start on Wednesday.

Ball retention and being able to kill games off are areas where we can improve but after last season, just being able to grind out a 1-0 win is great stuff. Especially after a bit of a drop-off in form and just needing to get back to winning ways.

I don’t like Leeds and some of their fans comments are just delusional and bitter. However, I have nothing against Beilsa and he’s done a good job there. Saying that the media hype is well OTT. Has Beilsa in getting Leeds up and to mid table in their first year back (so far) done any better that Chris Wilder last year and the year before?
I also thought Beilsa was fairly ungratcious in defeat.
