No chance are you sleepwalking into the Championship. You are missing some key players who are massive for you. This is essentially the same team as last year with a couple of additions. While my opinion of Kelly as an individual is pretty low as a player he is a quality player (sometimes). To be fair your starting 17 is very good as proved last season, however you were also fortunate in relatively few injuries, especially to key players. This year you are suffering them. On the bright side you did seem to run out of steam in the latter stages, the enforced rest for these players may be a blessing in disguise come the business end of the year.

The time when Manu did it, he did it at the play the ball and then went for a second go. The first time I thought "don't be stupid, we've got momentum!" and was relieved when nothing happened. When he walked forward and went for it again, even I'd have blown the whistle. It was pure idiocy. That killed off any comeback we could have had. It was the end of our pressure and the start of what we're three consecutive penalties in a minute (resulting in our captain getting binned). Game changing moment.

inot saying it would have affected final result,but when are other clubs going to copy the leeds foreward pass percentage game,they know for every 10 foreward passes you throw,you will only get pulled up once,possibly twice at most.i know every club throws the occasional foreward pass,but leeds have it off to a fine art.

Was just taking before the game how well Manu has started the season and doesn't seem to be giving away as many silly penalties as last year, seemed to lose his head, hopefully this will calm him down again.
