Leeds Utd v Coventry City Match Thread

[Orange Box]

That reminded me of a Revie side victory. Get 2 up, strangle the game then finish it off. I can cope with that. Nicely done Leeds

[BlackHillsPaul]

I think that was by far the most comfortable win of the season.

[whiteswan]

Comfortable win wba lose blunts draw good day all round.

Blunderland lose as well, Burnley draw

[The Subhuman]

sunderland lost too happy days.

Everyone's bunched in this years marathon. Last year we had pacemakers and us leading the chasing pack. This year is looks like we'll have a lot of "runners" taking a go at the front. Boro worry me, Norwich are hitting form, great result for Watford and we have two tough games coming up. Win those and we might make a break

[Cjay]

Best performance of the season.

Much more pace and directness about our play.

More movement, more slickness and more freedom.

2 of our goals came down the right which isn't a shock, nice to see us finally use it.

Farke made the right call getting Tanaka on for Amps.

Pleasing to see.

Hopefully this is the normal now and we don't go back to Snoozeball and 99% of the play going down the left.

Farke got it right today.

Good synopsis!

This ref does not like Joe Rodon

Refs as a whole. Seems to get a bad rap with the yellows.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Schmidt about to get his debut. Among other changes.

He came on against Cardiff

[John in Louisiana]

I think that was by far the most comfortable win of the season.

Absolutely. Thoroughly dominant from start to finish.

Shows how misleading stats can be

[BlackHillsPaul]

He came on against Cardiff

Thanks. I didn't get to watch that game. Missed it on the highlights.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Thanks. I didn't get to watch that game. Missed it on the highlights.

It was fairly uneventful. Except to note he played on the right wing.

[Onemanstanding]

Best performance of the season today, all the team played well and Daniel Farke got everything right today too.
Thought it was going to be a tricky game, but we made it look easy at times.
Hope Ampadu isn't too badly injured. Having said that Tanaka was excellent today.

It's interesting atm.

This time last season the top 3 had 19,18,18 points.

This season its 16,15,15.

So you could say the division is weaker overall this season?

But we are 6th atm, we'd be 4th last season with 14 points.

Sunderland wouldn't even be top 6 with 13 points this season, last season they were 4th.

So was last season stronger or was it just a massively weak division overall with a handful of decent sides?

[1964white]

Ramazani is so unselfish, a class act.

[1964white]

Leeds' defensive numbers over the last 2 games:

0.38 xG conceded
10 Opponents' touches in the opposition box
4 Shots on-target faced
0 Big chances faced
0 Goals conceded

[weasel]

F*cking s**t this having to waste time finding where the match thread starts and the post match thread. There must be a better way of doing this?

[1964white]

Biggest win v Coventry since 2004.

5 clean sheets in 6 games.

4 wins in 5 games.

3rd consecutive goal as sub by Joël Piroe.

1st goal for Jayden Bogle.

1st assist for Largie Ramazani.

Leeds move up to 5th, within two points of the top.

[BlackHillsPaul]

I think today has shown that our depth of squad is very much improved over last season!

[1964white]

Sky reporting that Coventry are parking the bus....

Thought Coventry were poor & nowhere near the threat they were last season

Coventry fans Matt & Sophie called it right about the Sky Blues, saying they lack structure in their set-up this season, Both predicted Leeds to win.

[1964white]

We have a good talent in Joseph, but he never receives the ball.

Mateo had no service today, James.
