Never cheered for dirty leeds before, but after they pissed about at the back nearly conceding and then they go up the other end and get a fifth, a shout of yeeess from me that worsens stoke's GD...every little helps :-)
Great win for Leeds and for us, that goal at the end to make it 5 has helped us out, 2 goal difference could actually be a big deal come the end of the season.
Leeds changed their style ever so slightly. The players had a meeting themselves, led by Cooper and Bamford, after they failed to beat Luton. They decided as a group that sometimes they have to play it long instead of always playing their way out.
Bielsa was asked about it once they beat Blackburn, he said he didn’t tell them to play that way, Cooper and Bamford took it upon themselves to. Variation within their play now and they only need 7 points, but likely 5 will be enough for them I think.
Looking at the table now, I feel like if we can beat Reading, I now would want Birmingham to get a result on Sunday against Stoke. With Stoke still to play Brentford and Forest, that’s two tough games.
Jimmy Greenhoff, Alan Hudson, Gordon Banks, bobmunro, your boys took one hell of a beating.
And George Eastham, George Kinell, Sammy McIllroy, Lawrie Leslie, Terry Conroy, Tony Waddington.........what Covered End just said, not forgetting Sir Stanley of course 😄.
Was rooting for Leeds to smash Stoke which has left me feeling dirty and perverted and not in a good way. I’m off for a shower.
I know how you feel, this will be the second game running that I want Millwall to win, although no doubt they will not. Sorry...spit....spit...I have got muck in my throat that I cannot clear

Now Dont know what I want in the game between Stoke & B'ham. A draw perhaps...? Or should we always want the team below us to lose ?
100% a Birmingham win.
If we didn’t face Birmingham the game after next, I would’ve agreed that a draw wouldn’t be a bad result. However, a Birmingham win basically guarantees them safety. I’d rather they have that win under their belt before playing us.
They’ve barely got out of first gear since lockdown. No doubt that as soon as they get their points for safety, they’ll be back on the beach.

Stoke were lucky to get nil & Leeds could/should have had 8 or 9, in the most one sided game I've seen all season.
He's not wrong. Crossbar, off the line, couple of good chances just wide. Could've easily been 7 or 8.

Draw keeps Hudders close to us and Luton far enough behind us.
Draw isn't a disaster though. Luton would still be 4 points behind us with a shocking goal difference.
A Luton win is a big problem as it all opens up again, and their next 2 games are QPR and Hull.
