Thank god we're back to the real stuff! I hate the international breaks when we have no real footy for a fortnight especially when the season is only a few weeks old - seems to screw us up every time - hopefully not today though.
To be honest we beat these lot 2-0 last season but were very lucky to do so - and this time round we'll have Clive's old mate Murphy coming back with a point to prove.
I think we will win it again this season - but like all the games in this league none are gimme's anymore - and these teams where our banana skin's last season.
We look a better set up and more solid this time round so here's looking forward to my second trip to ER this season as I missed the Fulham game.
2-0 MOT O:)

[Ozwhites]

As long as we don't underestimate them. You can sense that most believe this one will just happen, but I recall they have had a win and draw the last 2 outings. Maybe they have sorted themselves out formation wise? Anyway, getting the first goal will make the difference I reckon. I hope! 😉

phillips makes it 2-0!!!!

[CromerWhite]

Fecking hell

[galwaywhite]

Get in, kalvin philips well done lad, hope we can get a few more.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

I was too conservative with a 2-0 prediction, I can't see this staying 2-0!

[fredlufc74]

What a change to last season, we are going to win games from the off rather than sit back. Lets hope for more goals!!!


MOT

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

oooooooooooo, lasogga hits the woodwork and then sends it over, great play, and we get a corner, its brilliant! and now we get a penalty! COME ON LEEDS!!!!!!!

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

3-0, hernandez scores the penalty!!!

[CromerWhite]

And again, Fecking hell

[galwaywhite]

Come on Leeds, super first half some great play and huge appetite for work shown by all. Absolutely buzzing, after all the first half no shows last season this is brilliant. MOT

[fredlufc74]

16-17 shots already!!!!!!!

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

i know burton will be a weaker team than most that we play against this season but this really sounds like a very professional performance so far

[BelfastAndy]

Blow the final feckn whistle ref!

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

dallas comes on for anita at leftback

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

another corner, great start to the 2nd half

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

great effort by lasogga, sounds like Bywater made a strong save there!, jansson with his second chance of the game, dallas also had a shot before!

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

***y soccer according to pope and Whelan lol

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

roofe makes it 4-0!!!

[fredlufc74]

I know it's only Burton but I can't remember us dominating a match likethis for a long time

MOT

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

we are going up this season!!!!!!! MOT!!!

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

okane subbed off, klich gets more gametime, good man management by TC!

[galwaywhite]

Come on Leeds, brilliant performance so far. Lasagna sounds class, hold up play and touch are excellent by the sounds of it. MOT

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

lasogga makes it 5 bloody 0, LOVIN IT!!!!!

[fredlufc74]

Bloody hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Over the moon

[CromerWhite]

We sound superb, stunned, even if it is Burton

[OldWhiteTaff]

I must be f00kin dreamin' !!!!!

[CromerWhite]

Going in so fast it's difficult to keep up with my dodgy broadband.

Predicted Lasogga double but didn't think it would actually happen, it was more wishful thinking!!

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

a brilliant brace from the debutman Lasogga, on comes jay roy Grot, Come on Leeds!!!!

[OldWhiteTaff]

I must be f00kin dreamin' !!!!! I think my 1-0 prediction was just a tiny bit too cautious..........

[galwaywhite]

WOW what can I say... This performance has been unreal, still half hour left we are destroying them. Crowd fantastic as well great day so far 👍👍👍 MOT

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

really want JRG to score today, will do him the world of good and build his confidence!

[BelfastAndy]

I said 7 - 0

[OldWhiteTaff]

I'd have left Lasoga on for another 10 mins, given him the chance for a debut hat-trick

[fredlufc74]

I must be f00kin dreamin' !!!!! I think my 1-0 prediction was just a tiny bit too cautious..........

I predicted that as well Taff, thinking Burton would defend, but this team sounds like it is better unlocking teams than what we've had in donkeys years

[Blackspaven]

Antonsson scored for Blackburn.

[CromerWhite]

I must be f00kin dreamin' !!!!! I think my 1-0 prediction was just a tiny bit too cautious..........

I thought I was been a tad optimistic with 3-1, one of those occasions when it's nice to be really fecking wrong.

MOT

[OldWhiteTaff]

Fulham 0 Cardiff 0 as well - heading for 2nd place, two points behind

[leedsutdman]

I'm waiting for a Jay Roy groalllllll. It's got to happen.

[Rev72]

Would it be greedy of me to want 6....

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

even klich is having a go, this is just awesome!

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Grot has an effort, again, brilliant play

[pilgrimwhite]

attendance of 33,404

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

26 attempts 10 on target

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

superb effort from the fans with a 33k attendance

[pilgrimwhite]

Were going to need a bigger capacity at this rate

[OldWhiteTaff]

Cardiff losing, 1 point off top spot

[Blackspaven]

16 shots off target... shooting practice required!! :)

[CromerWhite]

16 shots off target... shooting practice required!! :)

It's not good enough.

TC Out :P

[OldWhiteTaff]

Spoke too soon, Cardiff equaliser, but really who f00kin cares what anyone else is doing :)

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

another corner, great play

[CromerWhite]

Away at Cardiff on 26th September, huge game even this early in the season.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

another chance goes begging, just shocking! lol

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

hoping for 6-0, the last time we scored 6 in the league was when we bashed qpr 6-1, legend brian deane scored 4 that day!

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Get in!

Mot!!!

[OldWhiteTaff]

5-0 not bad at all :D

[fredlufc74]

Joint top scorers and best defence in the league at the moment.

21 goals from 8 games.

[Rev72]

Disappointed we didn't get 6 or 7 to be honest.

Get it sorted TC..way too many shots off target as well..shooting practice required.

Suppose you take the 5-0 win and move on.

Must do better.

[jimmybn]

Fantastic Fantastic Fan-****ing-tastic!

[leedsutdman]

What's good about our play is it's a team performance every time. Good that we don't rely on any one player... happy days!

[galwaywhite]

Brilliant performance, well done TC really stamping your mark on the team, playing excellent football.

[Rev72]

F*cking brilliant lads.

The Beers will taste better and flow quickly tonight.

just seen the goals, bloody brilliant, I think roofes was the best, but all awesome!

[ColombianWhite]

cheers pilgrim
Great display!
MOT
😆

[Tichi1]

One of the best displays by a Leeds team i've seen in years!
Agree with Pete's post that every one of these shyte foreigners and nobody's from rubbish leagues, all pulled together by nepotism seem to be working harder, playing better, and fighting for each other like no Leeds team since O'deary was boss.

Now I know it's early days but at least i am speaking from a position of having actually witnessed the birth of TC's team as opposed to making rash statements before a ball had even been kicked - and this number 9 looks a far better option than Wood in terms of skill and overall teamwork, and though it was "Only" Burton, we have all seen good performances against Sunderland and Forest very recently too. [Burton beat us at the end of last season too] plus there seems to be goals in the whole team now - not a one man band anymore.

Early days or not we look the business so far, TC has the team [all 18] playing as a team and though over half of the players where here last season the difference in playing style and performance, plus fitness levels is light years ahead of what we saw a few months ago.

I predict happy days ahead for all Leeds fans - apart from the troll who has been eating his words since the first game of the actual season LOL.

Finally, this crap untested goalie has now had five clean sheets in the league on the trot!

WTF - where are youuuuuuuuu.......O:)

[Ozwhites]

30 shots to 1 just about says it all hey? :)

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

wiedwald has matched his clean sheets tally from last season already, well done him

[Billyni]

wiedwald has matched his clean sheets tally from last season already, well done him

Would like to see him catching some crosses and stopping some shots, but hey, if he dont have to do that, then .............
Actually i mean, he's done what he's had to do so im sure he can do the rest.
Anyway iv had a few still in celebration mode.

[Jezleeds]

Anyone see the championship on Five tv highlights? I listened to the game live yesterday and from Pope and Whelan (and people on here have already said it too that were there) this was a great performance from us. It sounded fantastic and i was really looking forward to seeing it and hearing what the people on there said, given that in the past they've been pretty positive about Leeds performances, and pretty fair in my opinion.

All they said was how bad Burton were really - I'm talking about the studio comment - interesting how they took that line, especially when you consider our other results this year. Part of me was annoyed that they hadn't talked us up more, but actually thinking about it i'd rather people didn't do that yet - let's keep this quiet and between us!! Hopefully we will surprise a few teams in the next few weeks.

One of the interesting things at the moment is i think we all feel like we're going to have a right go at teams and considering what we're seeing, should have a chance to win most games as a result. It's great to feel that confidence and excitement before games isn't it?

As Pete & Tichi state - a very impressive performance full of *****ITY in all areas !
The team obviously reflects the personality of a very shrewd coach indeed and long may it continue.
A joy to watch and cannot wait for the next couple of games to really see what this team is all about.
Positive ? YES !
Excited ? YES !

How a team reacts to a loss can always tell you a bit more about their geniuine prospects. But I hope it's a while till we find out ! ☺

[OldWhiteTaff]

Absolutely echo what everyone else is saying, but as usual for someone who's been around long enough to remember the 70s, (and I still remember my dad's mate jumping so high off the sofa he fell over the back when Lorimer scored in Paris.......), there have been a few false dawns, (and quite a few in the last 13 years), so it's actually quite hard to believe what it looks like I'm seeing right now. I like everyone else couldn't be happier, fks sake it's not as if we LUFC fans don't deserve to finally see some good times, but whilst I can't wait for the Brum game, I'm almost more nervous now than I have been for years because I just don't want anything to spoil this, least of all that cnut Harry Redknapp.

On a slightly separate note, I found this report from a Burton reporter a really encouraging listen, it's always good to get an idea of how others are viewing us, and what he says about Sais/Hernandez/Roofe is brilliant, as is how he contrasts this with the games Burton have played against Hull, Boro and Wendies:

[LeedsFTW]

What an amazing performance and scoreline, the lads seemed to really enjoy themselves, great to see. When was the last time we beat anyone 5-0 in the league?

So many positive about Leeds at the moment, going to enjoy this ride for as long as it lasts :)

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

5-0 I'm not sure but we beat dudds 5-1 a few seasons back

I wondered what had happened to that bloke from the Inbetweeners and now i know...

[SouthgateWhite]

It was easy to miss what with the distraction of 5 goals, but watch for the ball that Saiz plays to Roofe prior to #5. Outside of foot curling through ball . Sublime. Happy days, roll on Tuesday night.:)

And first time we hit 5 twice in a row at home since the days of Don.... even tho no Pakistani's in the team at mo...whats not to love about Leeds 😉MOT
