Was a good atmosphere last night and the second half was very good. Didn't feel like we properly got going in the first half, and even when we are winning at the moment the football just isn't like it was when we smashed Derby so I'm not entirely sure what's happened there but getting the win and going back top is very welcome.

3 teams on 26 points
3 teams on 24 points
2 teams on 22 points...

It would be very easy to fall a long way down the table very quickly! Gives the players something to play for though. Bring on that winter transfer window!

Yes and it's interesting that a couple of the clubs only two only 2 points behind us (Derby and Norwich) are teams we beat relatively easily at their places earlier in the season. Not sure whether that reflects us not sustaining the standard we set back in August or those teams finding their feet and playing better - suspect it's probably a combination of the two.

Regardless, it shows that once again the Championship is going to be very competitive and won't be an easy division to get out of. At this stage of the season a team 10 points off the top could easily come through and take a play-off or even an automatic promotion place on which basis even the likes of Stoke aren't out of the running yet (and they're down in 17th at the moment!).

The difference in points is crazy, here’s hoping we can go on a winning run for a while.

Tomorrow also sees the launch of the Leeds Unites Fans Foodbank - https://www.leedsunited.com/news/club-news/24020/m...

I contacted the supporters trust a few months back and they helped to get the club on board. I’m hoping folks can donate something, however small.

I must admit that with all our injuries I wasn't expecting to win this weekend, so 2-0 will do nicely! Not sure if it was the 3rd or 4th choice goalie for us?

Attendance was 34,333. yeah. Not bad. January can't come fast enough.

First penalty in FIFTY NINE games!

I'm almost sad the streak is broken. Almost. "Only" second place still, but now 5 points clear of the playoffs.

Nice cushion to have. Almost back to the top however Norwich got a last minute winner.

To be honest I think we're doing alright at the moment given our injury situation. Ok, I appreciate all teams suffer in that regard over the course of a season but our run has been awful of late; assuming the current list of casualties are all back in action by the end of January it will be akin to having made a load of new signings in the transfer window! However, I would worry if that injury malaise were to affect Hernandez and Roofe again; the former seems to be our only real source of creativity whilst the latter is very much our main source of goals.

The Championship itself looks more wide-open than ever though. At this stage of the season I reckon you can be a dozen points off the play-offs and still have a realistic chance of promotion but on that basis any team down to 17th is still in with a shout; when - as happened yesterday - the top team's at home and only just manages to beat the team that's next to bottom you know it's a close division!

Think the Leeds penalty might be a record for the four divisions. Also , sadly ,

Bamford withdrawn as a precaution. The average of our bench today is 19.5 years old. Big test today!

2-0 down and not even half time.

Still we have gap to West Brom so not the end of the world.

Bloody good game though.

What a great game really enjoyed that. End to end stuff.

Will be watching more of Leeds if that's the norm under MB.
