Leeds Utd v Fulham - MATCH THREAD

[John in Louisiana]

No pony tailing here in the Wolds what would the natives think?

Bring back the mullet!

Apparently, according to a Fulham forum 64 linked, he's injured a lot ..Agree re ginger midfielder, we could use another Hopkin

I was thinking more of a Bremner/Strachan type

That's better. Just what my doctor ordered. The scoreline suggests we battered them and i think we did for 55mins of the game. For 35mins Fulham reminded me of Leeds at times, all huff but no puff. After not looking like scoring in a month of Sundays down at Cardiff the lads were clinical today, even Bamford getting in on the act. You know its our day when Bamford scores. The magic man comes of the bench and makes his mark. Probably tops the Stoke pass for me? Great result.

Watching a replay of the game this morning and found myself thinking of the old Los Angeles Lakers basketball team with Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and Michael Cooper. That team perfected the art of the fast break and were an absolute joy to watch.

Is there a better team on the break in the Championship than Leeds? Certainly not. Pablo is our Magic; completing passes that lesser mortals would never even envision.

If I were coaching an opposing team, I would absolutely park the bus. If you're going to attack Leeds you had better be a lot more clinical than Fulham were yesterday. And a lot fitter, too.

Getting the first goal is crucial to how our games pan out. Luton will be very difficult to break down should they snatch the first goal as will all the other teams .

1st goal is absolutely crucial. I think we have only lost once after going in front and only won once after going behind.

Form table:
P W D L GF GA GD PTS
1 Leeds Utd 8 6 1 1 13 3 +10 19
2 Wigan Athletic 8 5 3 0 13 4 +9 18
3 Luton Town 8 4 3 1 8 6 +2 15

I think Tuesday will be tougher than some think. Just glad this one is at ER as their away form is not great despite Saturday's win. Also we kick off over an hour later than Fulham & Brentford. That's not a bad thing.

Somewhat ironically.

Harrison officially gets an assist for his poor and mishit cross for the 2nd goal but Pablo doesnt get one for his pass for the 3rd because JH (unlike him) miscontrolled it and it hit a defender to bounce back into his path.

Lifes not fair Pablo

Right, tell Leon to revoke that man of the match nomination

Another silly rule in the modern game

You're the one that lives and dies by the stats..I have given Pablo the assist, that's all that counts

[Leeds1000]

I think you're right about Cardiff. Honestly, it looked like we were playing in pre season, looking better today though so maybe they just needed a proper game to get back into the mindset?

Cardiff played 2 games against Swansea so maybe they were alittle sharper? Cardiff have defo hit the ground running. They have just beaten Preston convincingly. Even though we kept a clean sheet against Fulham i still think we can tighten up more at the back. We looked really good on the break yesterday. Great performance.

[1964white]

That can't be right, surely?

Yes, 2 goals down v Millwall at ER

[1964white]

Perhaps I'm thinking more of last season then. I seem to remember we'd often give other teams a goal start and then go on to win.

Four times.....Rotherham, QPR, Villa & Millwall

We also drew six times after going a goal down v Swansea, Sheff Wed, Millwall, Brentford, Forest & Middlesbro'
