Enjoyed that. Love the Championship, full blooded and competitive every week.
Lucky break for the goal but weathered the early storm and have grown into the match.
I’d probably still make Leeds favourites to win given how much of the ball they’ve had, but our work rate and intensity is back where it should be and with a lead to defend at fortress valley, who knows what might happen next.
I am sat behind the Leeds dugout and have about ten Leeds fans for company. None of them moved when we scored but they did swesr at Brian Cole when he yrird to get the scorer from the 4th oficial. Godd workrate 1st half but I expect them to up the tempo for the last 45...COYA!
Leeds look the better side, have had most of the possession, most of the territory, more chances.
For all that, though, we're good value for our lead.
The defence (including the midfield) have, in the main, restricted Leeds to a succession of half-chances and nothing too clear cut. Dillon did well in the opening minutes to bundle a near-post header from a corner around the post, and Leko produced a magnificent block to stop a shot from the edge of the box going into the corner of the net.
At the other end Leko has been on a few mazy runs without quite being able to provide a final product, the Welsh garden gnome has weaved a lot of wizardry down the left, combining well with Ben Purr and Gallagher.
I'd expect Leeds to change things about in the second half to try and find a way through our defensive barrier. If we can hold on for a point I'd be very happy.
Bonne seems to be playing somewhere nearer to Taylor's style, unlike Hemed who's a totally different player. Pleased with his first half; good work-rate as well as being decent on the ball, though I also thought straight away that the goal was an o.g.

We looked shaky first 15-20 then grew into the half.
Pratley doing well, Leko being that typical kid that's great at dribbling but not much else.
Gallagher working his nuts off.
Leko has got his shorts dirty!
Very happy with that first 45 minutes.
Dirty pigeon bothering whippet chasing flat cap pricks ain't so happy.

Geddon, WMTicket!
A bit of proper Cornish liquid sunshine won't do you any harm.
