Same old, same old really, second best overall but thanks to our solid defence, a bit of luck and opponents who wasted most of their chances, 3 valuable points. That might sound like a complaint but it isn't, in this league it's all about getting results and moving on. Team spirit counts for an awful lot and we have that in spades. Playing Dallas and Doukara means we're playing 2 defensive midfielders with 2 wide men who GM thinks will help out at the back, which is why we tend to get pinned back as there is only Pablo and Woody to give us a way out, apart from hitting teams on the break. Frustrating to watch but effective and after the last few years, I'm sure we'd all take it.

Afternoon chaps. First. Wow mr wood. Great first goal. I take it all back. Over this season you have got better and better and since christmas have turned into a prolific striker. Welldone sir and long may it continue. I disagree with above post. Its not effective and our defense isn't solid. We were lucky.
Fulham will not be as kind. Pont and beradi were both a bit iffy today. Bridcutt was atrocious. He needs to be dropped. Gave the ball away heaps. Is always passing back and outting defence under pressure. Phillips made a positive diff. I think vierra and phillips and kane should be chosen from now on.
Not bridcutt. For all their graft. Dallas and douks ineffective. Hernandez was awful too. Well done fed on first goal. Good one too. Too much passing around at the back. We need to move ball forward quicker which means roofe or barrow or if need be sacko instead of dallas or douks. Neither are cery good at beating players

could not agree more Aus, we were watching the same game. We were lucky against a very poor team. A good defence don't let 22 chance happen although they were good chance how we defended them. we need taylor so much douks and dalls not good enough certainly together. Phillips was a game changer yesterday, i moaned when monkl brought him on he then changed game and even the mrs said he was mustard yesterday same with ped who is a game winner and needs to play more . disagree with bridcutt to an extent normally very good but yeterday below par that said he had no one decent around himuntil phillps come on as pablo yesterday was as bad as my nan.

argee aus 100% apart from bridcutt not great last night altough assist was prem class but normally very good. pablo was also a joke last night but is quailty think two good players had bad night as oppose to not being good also until phillips come on birdcut wasnt working with much. also note for ped what a player he looks?

Great 3 points when for most of the game looked second best. Hernandez had one minute of class but 89 minutes of anonimity. Doukara again picked, for reasons that escape me but if we can play poorly and still come away with a win then the future is clear, and white.

Didn't feel impressed by Phillips performance when he came on, I know he doesn't get much game time but is there a reason for this. He doesn't cut it for me, dives into tackles like a tank, think he needs to calm down and stop trying too hard to impress. I get jittery when he is on the pitch as like Cooper, he's a liability. Yes in fairness he is young with much to learn.

missed 1st half as thought we were on tomorrow. Have to be a bit negitive, brum are pony yet should of won, we are clinical and in the end it was good but. a playoff team would of been maybe 3-0 by that point and that is what worries me. wood can not drop in form or else we are in trouble and we have to play better against better teams in playoffs because let's be honest that is where we will be. Same old moan but dallas and douk not good enough to win the playoffs hopefully ped who is mustard will play more no as we need more in playoffs, also how poor was pablo? worse perfomance i have seen from anyone in ages and he is a great player. Pluses win when playing bad and grinding out win negivites we don't look like we have a chance of playoofs against good teams. but another master stokre from monk in the end.
also sorry if I missed this why is taylor not back read he would be back, is he still injured? just need to know how much longer I have to wrongly moan about berardi

taylor is class and could be the difference in playoffs between prem and championship, so what if he is going like beckford get us up and leave and all will be forgiven.
leeds fans have tinted glasses, even the analysis tonight said best cb pairing in league in fact aling bartley and pontus all excelent meaning beridi is weak link now if they see it and i see it other play off team managers will see it they will focus on attacking beridi and we will concede he just ain't playoff good so bring taylor back please then we have best defence in league as green is playing very well now.

For me Berardi is good, and deserves credit for his efforts, but to some extent I'm starting to agree BW. Taylor is the best LB in the league we must use him and get him
Up to speed before the play offs. All I can say is that i'm excited to see who monk picks, and what he's really made of when it comes down to who's strongest.

agree wex but it is better than beckfords and he is still loved, i don't get the diffence? why is taylor barrated yet beckford idolised? beckford attitude stunk and i saw that first hand with my own eyes. my personal view is do anything to get taylor back in team as he will be as important to us as becks was if we are to go up

Took his goal well and also took his hit on him well too. May get used to it being in championship. Perfect answer was to get up and score. Glad monkey man has brought him in gradually as he obviously didn't think he was ready right away. Could make a major impact in the run in. So exciting being in this position. Forgot what it was like. ๐ค
Only 7 points off 2nd. But 2/3 wins I feel will make play offs 100%. can only dream of missing the play offs. But this is a year of we expected nothing. So why not. ๐๐โฝโฝ

Said a couple of weeks ago we needed to bring Phillips back in, as he drives from midfield and he changed the game for us today. Too much backwards and sideways passing, no one prepared to push on. Glad to see Pedraza get a goal too, hope he gets more of a chance. He's more clinical than Dallas and Sacko.

Totally agree, SG, Phillips provided much needed energy, enthusiasm and as good as the pass from the Douk was it was Phillips willingness to drive into the box and break their back line. Certainly confirmed my belief that it has to be Okane OR Brudcut with a. n. other. On a side note very exciting to think of Ped and Charlie playing regularly together ๐

We scored and just sat deep and have invited brum on . their possession was always going to bring a goal . whenever we had ball we gave it away. We then scored again thankfully quickly after them submit to give them the momentum but now we are letting them come on too us again. Just hold the ball and don't fanny about at the back. c'mon Leeds. Take a 2-1 win but my prediction was 3-1 and wood 1st goal. ๐โฝโฝโฝ

Got a feeling Alf will get off the mark tonight. Comfortable win, dominant performance but only a 1 or 2-0 win. Would love us to go on a goal frenzy. With the woodster getting the other from a pablo assist. Question for everyone, how many nutmegs will pablo do tonight? I'm predicting 3.

Why is there any talk of monk leaving? Yet again we have allowed the contract of a key member of our success run down so low that others are sniffing around! Players can be replaced, but managers of monks quality will not be freely available to us. Why do we never learn? Sign him up today on a long contract and stop this nonsense!

Do not think Monk will be in a rush to sort it out. Think both parties will be waiting to see how end of season looks. Big difference to terms if we are in premiership next season. Club won't offer 5mill a year if there's a chance we will still be in championship and Monk would be daft to sign back on championship wages. We will have to wait and hope the club can offer a better deal than anyone else when the time comes.

also even if monk was on a big contract it wouldn't stop other clubs poaching we would get compensation but it is pittance compared to players fees. I think he is great and would love him on longer contract but see why he hasn't for the reasons above. personally don't think monk would leave a decent club in england to play second fiddle to celtic in a mickey mouse league not saying leeds are great but think it is a step back.
