It always happens, playing Leeds is like other teams cup finals, so when they get a point or worse win, the next game they play they generally get battered.

Reading on paper was a winnable home match for Luton, so they gambled on bagging 3 points by being more open and attacking.

Plus they were knackered after putting so much effort in to draw with us in their cup final, just like Stoke will do on Thursday, Swansea will do in the next game, and so on and so on. Even after all these years, I don't get why we're so hated and teams up their game to beat us, nobody has upped their game to beat Brentford, or park the bus like they do us, gets on your tits.

Teams dont expect to outrun us or out play us, especially at Elland road.

They just change their tactics accordingly, which is defend deep and aggressively then try and hit us in the counter attack or set pieces.

Unlike Brentford, we aren't as efficient at converting our chances, so teams know they have a 1/2 chance of grinding out a draw and possibly snatching a victory.

I can't remember a game in recent times where I thought we were outplayed.

Arguably, we were outplayed for long periods of the Fulham match. Quite ironic considering that we ran out as comfortable winners.

We had a poor period in the first 1/2 but second 1/2 was all Leeds, so I would say we were were not out played over the course of that match.
