The trials and tribulations of supporting Leeds United

Leeds today simply added to its woes. Bamford returns for this match but it was too late with Leeds united 0 Aston Villa 3.

It has been an emotional rollercoaster week. Bielsa leaving has been heartbreaking. And now we have to start again with Marsch in charge.

It was that Leeds had lost to Liverpool that had thrown me, it was the manner of the defeat. I have finally resigned myself to the end of the Marcelo Bielsa reign at Leeds United; the end of the affair.

Leeds United play Manchester United. Bielsa described this one as “a classic game is always a challenge that is very motivating.

After the easy defeat to West Ham in the Cup Leeds play their strongest players which is not easy with nine first team injured. It was a tough game to watch with five goals – Harrison shows his maturity with a Jack Trick.

After an extended break of two weeks due to COVID Leeds faced rivals from other the border in Lancashire for a nervous relegation battle six pointer.

With five players on yellow cards for Leeds and half the first team injured Leeds were always going to be at a technical disadvantage in this match. We may have matched an underperforming Chelsea on Saturday but City are looking to go top.

The first thing you notice about the match this afternoon is how noisy Elland Road is. This is the twelfth man. This match will need something special to get Leeds to safety – who else but the man himself – Patrick Bamford.

Is a packed Elland Road on a wet tuesday night where the dream restarts? After the disappointing performance last saturday on the south coast tonight at home is big moment for Leeds. Phillips and Raphinha the key men not firing on all cylinders – a team not finding its mojo like it had at the end of last season. This match will be ultimately won by fine margins.

After the frustrating loss to Spurs last week, being ahead at half time, taking on Brighton and Hove Albion has become more of a must-win, a relegation battle. Another missed opportunity but Leeds break a jinx and manage a lucky draw.
