    2-0 and 3 very easy points - would have took that this morning, but other teams will score lots more against this Leeds team.
    Will reserve judgement on this seasons prospects when we've played a few proper teams


    As for Leeds - they are in serious trouble - its alright putting the effort in (which they did to be fair), but you can't get away with playing in the Championship with League 1 players, League 2 tactics and a Conference manager.

    Great atmosphere today - good day all in all <cheers>

    Cracking atmosphere and a comfortable performance. Olly spot on with tactics, pressed them high and mopped up the hoof ball with ease. The only time they really threatened was when Smith came on to win headers which Fuller struggled with. Fitness levels were better than expected considering pre season and Carlos Edwards looked like he could have played anotther 90 mins. Gregory was a handful and did more in the time he was on than Ajose did whole game. Leeds will struggle every week playing like that and if we play with that tempo every week then we'll be alright <ok>

    Correct TC, far to early to get carried away. We all had this down as 3pts to wall and the true tests are yet to come.

    Having said that, can only beat what's put in front of you and the unbeaten streak continues.

    How was the performance? I had a wedding to attend today. (Very enjoyable and the groom and best man are both wall fans as well so good day for all involved).

    Mfclion another report from a fan not there,doh.Leeds were ripping millwall to pieces when the ref took pity on a dive.If Leeds had started with Smith they would have won no problem,they didn't but when Leeds field there best team will do much better,wall will go down.

    Just think, there you all were telling us about the beautiful football you were going to play this season, yet you were only in the game today when you revered back to hoofball to Smith - why buy these Italian passing types if the rest of your team struggle with it?

    Replace Doukara with Morison (injured today my arse)
    Replace Hunt with Berardi
    Replace Ajose with Smith
    You still need to replace Wooton - a complete liability.
    Tell Byram not to be scared to get into the final 3rd.
    Give Tonge more games (was your only creative player)
    Buy a goalscorer (not Nile ****ing Ranger)

    That would massively improve your team already - This game really is that simple <ok>

    The pressing game was a joy to behold, who would have believed that Jimmy Abdou would be pressing so high up the pitch, thought he had a really good game at breaking up the play, we can't really expect him to be a play maker as well.

    Williams in front of the back four and then four midfielders all pressing.

    The back four looked composed with the ball ( the first time in a couple of seasons) and worked the ball forward at every opportunity.

    Fuller kept the Leeds defence occupied without really doing anything of note.

    The best we have played for a couple of seasons, although there is a lot of improvement in this side, IMO.

    If/When we get Matt Smith, Malone,Woolford,Martin will have the opportunity to get an nearly cross in, rather than beating their man and pulling the ball back from the bye line.

    Couldn't really pick a MOM, but Carlos Edwards looks a class apart, really top class, solid, intelligent player

    Loved this picture - one was instructing, shouting, moaning at the 4th official, berating the ref, applauding his players, orchestrating the whole place - not stop, the other stroked his chin and waited for a big hole that never came
