Leeds player dived and got a yellow. Rightly so if that's what happened. I'll watch highlights later and judge for myself.

I went to the Brentford game at start of this season and that was horrific.

Great win.
Good recovery - clean sheet.

[lucy]

It sounds like one of them matches that was bound to end 0-0 without much action. Thanks very much for that mistake Mr Leeds Goalkeeper.

[J4ck22]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees!! Exactly what we needed after Friday night. Really solid performance, especially at the back and it's great to have a clean sheet again. Well done to all involved, this is a great away win.

Great win Town and a clean sheet. Same back four and keeper. Amazing that's why we all love and hate football at times.

Very true I wonder where all the moaners will be saying tonight....NOTHING that's what

[Magicmark]

Good to get a win after the disappointment of last week..has made my holiday in Portugal a good one..hoping to get to see the brummie & man u games while out here

[Shed on tour]

Funny old game.
Before the Reading match if we were told we could have a point at the Madejski and Elland Road the majority of us would have probably taken that and thought they were ok results.. Instead we get hammered at Reading but grind out a win tonight and end up a point better off than if we had drawn both matches.

[The Don]

Ok, so aside from the score (which is most welcome) how did we play? Was it a case of hanging on, were Leeds just poor, or did we actually put some effort in compared to Friday?

Just because the "moaners" have been called out for not yet posting, doesn't mean all our issues are resolved.

A win is wonderful, but are the initial concerns dealt with?

[lucy]

Our win at Leeds since September 2005 when we won 0-2. A certain Sam Parkin getting the 2 goals.

Read the match report from a rival site and seems we were value enough for the victory. Possession was only just shaded by the opposition, chances created were about equal, but in the end it was a fair result ? They had a late penalty claim turned away and we could have added further goals also but bottom line, it was the result needed after that embarrassment in the previous fixture.

Read we were in fifth place after this which sounds like a bit of a drop after the early promise, but it's actually only one point away from second placed Boro as it stands. (Brighton are creating some room for themselves at the top of the league)

The play-off zone is already at this early stage looking congested with a number of teams on similar points, and one of those is Birmingham City who we face in the next fixture. (Unfortunately it's one of those damn live TV broadcasts)
