Fotmob has possession listed as 22% too. I'm listening on the radio and doesn't sound like it's right.

Will be a great win if we can hold on.

Kalyke · 13-12-2016 10:23pm

Sky Sports just said 26 per cent in second half!

Kingp35 · 13-12-2016 10:35pm

2-0. Doukara penalty. Huge win!

Shlippery · 13-12-2016 10:36pm

.....lump the house on promotion lads!! The boom is back.

Well everyone around us look like they're going to win as well, so dropping points tonight would have been a bit of a disaster.

Kalyke · 13-12-2016 10:49pm

5th as of now. A loss would have meant 10th?

Mushy · 13-12-2016 10:53pm

That was a hard run, from Newcastle to tonight they played 3 of the teams above them, and an in-form Villa.

To still be in the playoffs after that considering the margins involved is great!

kevthegaff · 13-12-2016 11:35pm

Motoring

Shlippery · 14-12-2016 3:50pm

Jayzus, Birmingham after sacking their manager....and we thought Cellino was bad!

iseegirls · 14-12-2016 6:25pm

Great result last night. Good to see Doukara playing well. He was hardly playing last year. Bit worrying with Wood, as he's a player that is on form at the moment.
We've a tough Christmas period, another game against Villa away will be tricky. So we must ensure we get the win this Saturday.

Boom!

What's his story? Much money for investment or is it a mate doing a deal?

From my limited googling over the last 5 minutes, apparently the business he co owns is worth 350mill...or a lot less than Cellino who is allegedly worth a cool billion.

Zaph · 15-12-2016 12:33am

Is Cellino worth that much? I thought I read previously he was worth about 400m. Either way, weren't there rumours that Radrizzani is actually a front for some Chinese outfit? I haven't heard any more on that for a while so I'm guessing there's no truth to it?

Possibly, his company is a sports agency so you'd think they'd have plenty of clients, and that buying one club would actually damage their business/appeal to other clubs.

NuckChorris1 · 15-12-2016 1:11pm

He's said that there's no Chinese involvement in his investment. He is linked to a massive company there (Baoteng or something) that people assumed was the money behind the deal. Saw that Radrizzani is worth about £400m personally after selling 65% of his sports media company and that's what he's using to buy in to Leeds. I'm sure if he gets to the full 100% he'd have no problem getting in investors with his contacts.

Delighted with how the season is going. Been very lucky with some results but unlucky with injuries so that evens out imo. Diagouraga must have shagged Monk's missus to still not be in the frame with all the recent midfielders out.

funnights74 · 17-12-2016 5:49pm

89 mins. 1 up, great time to score. Ft result.

stryker mcqueen · 17-12-2016 6:24pm

Watched a few mins of the match today , a lot of hoof ball but are very hard to play against and just keep getting results ........time to dream?

joeysoap · 17-12-2016 7:16pm

Results at this stage are what matters most (to us anyway) but 1 shot on goal at home in the 90mins coupled with the 23% possession in the Reading match and we appear to riding our luck a wee bit. At this stage I'll take it.

17-12-2016 7:47pm

It's been a long time since Leeds were looking at the results of teams in the automatic promotion spots and wondering was it possible to catch up. Brighton losing right now...

joeysoap · 17-12-2016 10:56pm

90+ 4

Richie on the bench

championc · 18-12-2016 12:13am

Another massive 3 points. All of a sudden, the top 10 are starting to stretch out a bit. Wins to Draws are going to be vital. Unfortunately, you really cannot see Newcastle dropping points any time soon, and Brighton to a lesser extent. Our recruitment in January will be vital and we certainly cannot afford to be waiting until the last days of January to get another striker in. Hopefully, there's work going on in the backround to tie up one early on.

Crowd numbers should allow for a few more quid to be available. Very surprised that a half season ticket hasn't been announced

Shlippery · 18-12-2016 1:20am

Either way, the recent trends are good. Long may they last! A good bunch of lads on the field lately!

championc · 18-12-2016 11:44am

For Villa away, i hope we have Bridcutt and O'Kane back fully fit

purple hands · 18-12-2016 11:47am

Solid ground out win yesterday. Will be good when Hernandez is back in the fold for a bit more creativity.

Preston up next.

Have to say I still have a lot of love for Simon Grayson...why did he get the sack at the time? Think we were outside the play off spots but was there off field stuff going on too?

He had raised expectations after promotion and then finishing just outside the playoffs in consecutive seasons, classic victim of his own success stuff. But suspect Grayson will always get a huge reception from Leeds crowds, Yorkshire man, former player, that promotion, that win at Old Trafford, always said the right thing and came across as a decent person...when you think about it, possibly the greatest manager of the club bar Revie and Wilko. Any club that Grayson manages is my second favourite English club!

joeysoap · 18-12-2016 2:32pm

Grayson was pretty insistent that Horgan and to a lesser extent Boyle would do well at Preston. I can see them both getting into the first team quick enough (Having seen Hull on MOD last night I'm surprised that they didn't take a chance on either) beating Preston would open a little bit of daylight.

tfer · 24-12-2016 5:55pm

Merry Xmas to all you Leeds fans, and lets hope we all have the best year in a long time

Korat · 24-12-2016 7:19pm

Merry Christmas Conor74 and the rest of the admirably hard core Leeds supporters in Ireland.

Shlippery · 25-12-2016 11:59am

Merry Xmas lads! Treating myself and the aul lad to tickets to the Derby or Forest game in January if we can get flights!!

Zaph · 25-12-2016 12:20pm

Happy Christmas everyone, for once I'm feeling positive heading into the seasonal fixtures. It's a weird feeling.

Kristopherus · 25-12-2016 1:14pm

Happy Christmas to all the Leeds fans here. Marching on together !!!!!

Shlippery · 26-12-2016 4:27pm

ROOFE

As the league stands after 20 mins

BEAUTIFUL!

EDIT: SACKO

EDIT: ****E

Mushy · 26-12-2016 4:27pm

Started very well, 2-0 up in 25 mins. Rare to score early I find, rarer to go 2 up too.

Shlippery · 26-12-2016 4:33pm

DOUKARA.

3-1

WHAT IS GOING ON

26-12-2016 4:33pm

Grayson said some very nice things about Leeds fans, hope and trust they applauded him...

Grayson's an absolute gent, a lot of time for him.

Mushy · 26-12-2016 5:56pm

Saw a comment somewhere bout somebody being fearful what Beckford would do after being suspended...We'll, he'll have another 4 game break now!

Fantastic result. Commentary was thoroughly enjoyable! Long may it continue...some serious positive vibes!

Absolutely great to be in the pack breaking away. Monk has done far better than I envisaged. Considering the start of the season, it's been some turnaround.

championc · 26-12-2016 6:33pm

Another important 3 points, with all others around us also winning.

Very useful goal difference being built up, which could be important come May

Kristopherus · 29-12-2016 10:01pm

Great start to the 2nd half tonight. 1 up and nearly a 2nd after 55 mins.

Kristopherus · 29-12-2016 10:30pm

Cooper, what were you thinking? Clown:mad:.

Zaph · 29-12-2016 10:32pm

Bollocks. Villa don't deserve that at all, although oddly on the Villa thread they seem to think that they're the better team.

purple hands · 29-12-2016 10:37pm

Great save Green

This ain't over yet!

Zaph · 29-12-2016 10:41pm

That feels like two points lost rather than an away point gained, especially after hitting the crossbar a couple of times.

purple hands · 29-12-2016 10:45pm

Yup, Sacko took too much time with that chance

Defo 2 pts lost. Villa were very much 2nd best in 2nd half. I wear glasses, but I never tried to look through claret ones. Don't know what the Villa fans saw.

Zaph · 29-12-2016 10:48pm

I thought that we were supposed to be the deluded fans around here?

Shlippery · 29-12-2016 11:43pm

Pontus is a top top man! End to end stuff there at the end, we'll take the point and keep marching!!

Green was outstanding, made some cracking saves.
