Tough month ahead with fixtures against other Yorkshire clubs in top half, away v Barnsley and Huddersfield, home v Wednesday, should be some big crowds. Sold out 5,300 away tickets for Barnsley in half an hour, Blackburn allocating a whopping 7,000 tickets and a full end of the ground to Leeds fans.

1 up, who else but Wood

Against the run of play too

Zaph

Some great corners being put in by Hernandez.

purple hands

Well on the way to 502 corners again

Zaph

Bollocks. That was poor defending.

purple hands

Bah

Shlippery

****. Things have taken a turn.

Zaph

Hate to say it, but it was a great free kick.

purple hands

Both goals were very good finishes in fairness

Still lots of time here

Leeds are very poor tonight. Switched over to the City Spurs game

Cracker alright ....but nobody charging it??? The mind boggles

Mile outside the box, could see that in real time. Lucky to be back in it.

Johner

Mike Dean at it again.

Shlippery

Would raise a few questions marks at that decision..

Back to earth. Any body notice how me you Irish goal scorers there was in Enfland today, Coleman, Manning, Forrester, Murphy and Hourihane are ones I noticed. Horgan on as sub too for Greyson

Get in, 20 mins to get something

It would be a famous night for Barnsley if they win acc to the commentator.

They are at home, 7 places behind Leeds. Hardly a moment of history...

Heard them saying at the end as well - ridiculous statements - "It's a famous night", "They'll remember this victory for a long time" ... Sky Sports again going over the top.

Thought the worst comment came from Robbie Savage after half time when we scored against Cambridge. "Gary Monk must have said something to them at half time". Bloody hell - of course he would have said something. He's not going to go in there and be silent. Some of these co-commentators are awful.

Heatons are selling off Leeds United 2017 year books for €2.

Wins tonight for Brighton and Reading, unfortunately. We definitely need to beat Forest tomorrow night to keep the pressure on. The good news is that Pontus is available again.

I wanted Reading to win. Keep the chasing pack for the play-offs at bay. Fulham/Derby/Norwich (and had thought Villa until recently) could all go on a good run and get a play off spot. Don't need that stress!

Zaph

Would have preferred a draw myself. Not much of a gain for either Reading or the chasing pack.

Zaph

Wood scores again, 1-0

Kristopherus

Goal Leeds. 2-0. 74 mins. A screamer by Doukara.

stryker mcqueen

Fook me what a result !!

Mushy

This is great stuff, needed to get back on track. Goal difference over the other playoff teams is significantly better too.

Kingp35

What a goal from Doukara!

A real Tony Yeboah special!

Programme about Gary Speed on SS1.

God he was a delight to watch.

Shlippery

Wood, what a transformation of a player. Fair ****s to him....and DOUKARA :O

Keyzer

Doukaras goal has to be championship go of the season. What a phenomenal strike. Tony yeboah would be proud of that one.

iseegirls

Another great result. Well done to the team and for Gary Monk bringing out the best in the team.

With only a few days left in the transfer window, hopefully no-one will be touching any of our players. And be good to see Taylor sign a new contract.

Keyzer

We could really do with another striker though. If Wood gets injured we're in trouble.

Antonsson, Douks or Roofe would fit in but very different styles and not really who you'd want if pushing for promotion. We've had a fair few games where the first half hasn't gone too well in terms of dominating or creating chances and then we come out and crush the 2nd half. Monk doing a fantastic job.

All three lacking consistency, Antonsson has very little game time. We need a proven goal scorer for obvious reason but to provide cover also.

Agreed, Monk doing great job.

purple hands

Has Roofe been tried up front yet?

Goals aside, Wood does so much work off the ball

Mowatt looks to be on his way to Barnsley. Disappointed with that but think the problem is he was given a good contract last time out and we can't watch it again for a player not making the starting XI regularly. Always liked him and happy to see academy players get through. Viera and Philips overtaken him for CM position though and he doesn't really have the pace for elsewhere. Would like him to stay as squad player but understand that won't suit him.

Zaph

YEP reporting Mowatt's fee is "six figures, in excess of £500,000".

How do you get Showcase?

Zaph

No idea, I just thought it would be that BT Sport would be unscrambled for the match. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

Kalyke

I think showcase is only on Freeview.

Zaph

Oh well...

Worst game of football I've seen in a while. No harm being out of the cup either

iseegirls

Beyond awful

Wonder why we're getting rid of Mowatt, Luke Murphy, Diag when we've very little in terms of backups to our main players. Can we just cancel Grimes contract now? Silvestri can go too.
