Let’s start with the glaringly obvious, it’s been disappointing. We dreamed of building on last season’s late push for Europe and instead we are now doomed to spend at least the vast majority of the season looking over our shoulders at the bottom three. The past week perfectly summarised Leeds in 2021/22, a good performance followed by a bad performance, and not enough wins.
Read MoreEveryone in the build up to this match had us down for running away with this one, and on paper we should have! Instability through injuries, not taking chances and silly mistakes costs us all points here today. Still feeling confident that we'll beat the drop but there's a tough run of fixtures coming...

Read MoreInjury woes have sapped our optimism in recent weeks but It's funny the difference a couple of back-to-back wins in the Premier League can do for your mental health.

After Bielsa stayed out with the players following their 7-0 drubbing at Manchester City, and the fans cheered them like heroes after the 4-1 defeat at home to Arsenal, the players repaid these acts of love in the only way they could, by sweating blood to beat Burnley.
Read MoreSaturday evening was a tough watch. Arsenal cut through Leeds with more ease and frequency than Manchester City did in their 7-0 victory four days earlier, and if it wasn’t for Meslier – our phenomenon between the sticks – it would have been 7-0 by half-time.
Read MoreHaving previously written about last-minute equalisers, it gives me great pleasure to write about a last-minute winner. However, my reaction to Raphinha’s 93rd minute penalty against Crystal Palace did not conform to the usual expectations that a last-minute winner brings.
Read MoreThere’s an abundance of positives to take from our trip to a stadium so lavish that nobody can afford the naming rights. For 45 minutes Leeds played Tottenham off the park, a team that was assembled at great cost, containing some world-class players and a world-class manager.
