    Great result, great start to the season.

    I’d really like to see a few more through the door now. We need a proper playmaker who will create us regular chances. The games start getting tough now, we’ve played three of the weakest teams in the league and need more upfront to open up the stronger teams in the division.

    Anyone realistically would have said first 3 games, a win, a defeat and a draw.... but 2 wins out of 3 is class considering last year a newly promoted team took until October to register a win.

    That was massive for us today. Brentford are obviously gonna be around the bottom 6 come May. Not only that we're going into the international break after a win and, the end of the transfer window with 6 points sitting 6th in the league.

    That will give us a boost when we're trying to convince any other targets that coming to us would be a good career move for them.

    I suspect the atmosphere in the ground would have been earth shattering. I was at the west ham game and that was unbelievable. But todays come back surely beat even that. We kept fighting, brilliant.

    Elf was top drawer. He looked like a top class Premiership player today

    Ballard may struggle to get back into the team after today. Mukiele looked rock solid

    Very encouraging from Le Fee. Had concerns he'd cope in PL. Great to see him start and do well.

    A draw would suit me but a mag win would be better, in reality Leeds are one of the teams we need to end above at the seasons end.
