Leeds United - v - Rotherham United ***Matchday Thread***

[Billyni]

Well so much for the 6-0 thrashing some predicted.

It's all about putting the ball away and had we put our chances away in the first half, this would have been a different game.

Don't get giddy, looking at today's performance you didn't blow us away and we gave you a game. You're not that special, albeit you are off to a good start.

And we're not the 'rollover and die ' side of last season either.
Get used to it.

Ah..those grapes a bit bitter Brin lad eh

Smashed the favourites to win the league 3-1 playing some top quality football.
Then just when you think it can't get any better we outplay Derby in their own back yard and humiliate em 4-1.

Rotherham didn't come to play football because they haven't got the players to do it so you kind of brought us down to your level..and we almost helped you to a couple of goals but you couldn't take em..the 1 on 1 with the keeper ffs me 8yr old niece could have put that fecker away!

We won ugly today after 2 cracking performances so it is disappointing but 3 points is 3 points..you may still get your revenge at the return fixture at the NYS seen as tho we ain't nowt special.

Close the door on yer way out cocker

Don't judge us on one performance either mate.

To be fair tho billy we tried our best to give em a few goals 1st half.

Oh well..unlike the Rotherham fans I know personally the Rev will go out tonight and show that little bit of class that they refused to show me in the past when they beat us..bitter in victory and very bitter in defeat so they are.

Just a little smile and a wink should be sufficient..cos that is how a gent behaves

[norfolk white]

We like the start of the season, look at last year, this time I feel it's gonna be different.....well, fingers crossed.

tale of 2 halves today, first half started brightly like other matches, but the final passes were pretty poor

second half much better, back to the good stuff, the determionation for the first goal, the team quality of the 2nd goal, a clean sheet

hope we beat swansea now, theyve started well, but like stoke and derby, swansea are seen as a better team in this division, so this might play into our hands.

[Rev72]

Agree clive.

Concerns me that Cooper still has a mistake or 3 in him per game..could have easily cost us today..a better team would have punished us.

But its 3 wins from 3 and that will do nicely.

maybe jansson for cooper tuesday?

have to say the idea of berardi and jansson in cb for leeds is awesome the way those 2 put everything into their defensive displays every match they play, could be an awesome partnership

stats from today make impressive reading

about 75% possession
17 attempts
almost 85% pass completion

sort of stats that suggest we can control games better
