A sad day in london, but all the positive signs are here despite a threadbare team and 15 year olds on the bench. Keep the faith - it'll come! Episode Features published author Rocco Dean

Interesting findings from TEAMTalk here. There’s some serious search volumes looking for information on our U-23s players.

Leeds United burst back to life with a performance that overshadowed the result. For those who didn’t watch the match it was a decent point from a tough home fixture, for those who did it was a vibrant, energetic, and high-intensity match that the home team controlled for large parts

There is a poster on my wall of Marcelo Bielsa holding the Championship trophy, surrounded by his adoring players. Of fourteen players visible, half are no longer at Elland Road. Pablo Hernandez, Leif Davis, Ben White, Barry Douglas, Gjanni Alioski, Ian Poveda and Helder Costa have all been cast aside….

There’s nothing better in football than an injury-time winner; finally getting what you have ferociously desired for 90 minutes, just when it seemed all hope was lost. Last minute equalisers are a little different. They always bring relief, but avoiding defeat and gaining just a measly point are rarely ferociously desired. Saturday was one such rare occasion.

I knew, like the vast majority of Leeds fans, exactly what to expect when the 2 pm team news was revealed. I immediately stuck a tenner on Southampton to win, told my mates to do the same, and told my dad Leeds would struggle to build any attacks without Phillips anchoring the midfield and with Roberts at ‘10’.

I wrote recently about my enjoyment of watching this Leeds team regardless of the result, but you just can’t beat the warm glow of that winning feeling. It had been 19 weeks since Leeds United last won a match, and 19 months since they last won in front of a packed Elland Road.
