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'd like to write something here, to see if anyone reads these bits. Paul doesn't know we're writing this, but my big question is - Why on earth were you in the bogs during the Watford game Paul?

Read More**Recorded before Pascal's Red Card appeal was rejected** Join James and Paul - back fresh from our holidays we catch up on all the latest happenings at Leeds United. There's plenty to mull over with a tough few games - Burnley & Liverpool as well as our first win of the season at home to Crewe. We also discuss the late arrival of Dan James - is it one worth waiting for?
