Transcript

00:00A 2-0 win, pretty standard to be honest. Goals from Jadon Bogle and Joel Perrault, of course

00:07right in the, deep in the stopwatch time. Jadon Bogle's, you know, winner of the Push

00:11Cast award definitely this year, I think.

00:14Yeah, definitely.

00:16But overall just one of those, you know, those solid home wins that you just need to clock

00:20up a lot of if you're going to get promoted from this division.

00:23Yeah, definitely. Yeah, just obviously, you know, 1-0 is always a dangerous goal and isn't

00:27it, as everybody knows, you know, and that's the thing and obviously look at it on paper

00:30and it's finished 2-0.

00:31But the fact the second goal wasn't until the 95th minute, you know, and obviously they

00:34should have scored before then, but, you know, it's a second before then, but it's a similar

00:37story, you know, it's kind of like a common theme with Leeds and it's not just this season.

00:41It's been like that for ages, hasn't it? In terms of like missing chances. I mean, plenty

00:44of teams miss chances, obviously, but, you know, Leeds really do like sort of struggle

00:48to put teams away quite often and, you know, don't often get the goals that they should

00:52do really.

00:53And that was the case again in this game, loads of chances in the second half. But I

00:55just think obviously, you know, fans would have probably wanted to see them sort of like,

00:58you know, do a bit of a do what Borough did really, you know, and really pilot on and

01:01sort of, you know, get four or five past someone for once and stuff.

01:05But I mean, you know, that's obviously the aim, isn't it? But the bottom line is, is

01:09it's about getting three points, which they got. And, you know, it's the end of the day,

01:13as I say, it's another three points on the tally and not enough though to put them in

01:16the automatic promotion places.

01:18So, you know, we can assess obviously like the way the division is looking now, obviously

01:21in third place. But yeah, in terms of the game, just, I mean, just basically like almost

01:25like a standard sort of Leeds performance at the moment, the way things are going.

01:28I mean, you know, it was at 69% possession.

01:31You'd expect that, you know, they dominate just about every game, six shots on target

01:35compared to QPR zero and then 10 shots.

01:38Well, overall, compared to four from QPR and stuff.

01:41And yeah, it's like most games really where they're dominating on the figures.

01:45But realistically, the story of the season so far is that pretty much every game, not

01:49all of them, pretty much most game they have dominated on the figures, but not every game

01:52has ended up with a three point hole.

01:54And that's basically why they are where they are in the table, really, because obviously,

01:59you know, they've not always got the points that their superiority, you know, suggests

02:03they should get. But I mean, it's not been complete one way traffic.

02:06Obviously, it's been a few disappointing ones this season as well.

02:09And ultimately, you know, the table doesn't lie, does it?

02:11There's two teams above them.

02:12So, you know, it has been a reasonably solid start.

02:15But as we can talk about now in terms of like, you know, who should be favourites and stuff,

02:18there's obviously work to do.

02:20As you say, they probably could be further ahead than what they are, Leeds points wise.

02:24We look as far back as the opening day against Portsmouth, and that was one of those sort

02:27of key moments where Leeds were the better side.

02:31Yes, they scored three goals, probably could have had even more to be honest.

02:35But of course, they didn't kill the team off, they were playing and it came back to bite

02:40them.

02:41But if we look at the league table, as you say, Sunderland, of course, still sat top.

02:44And then I believe it's Sheffield United sat in second place.

02:47Of course, they won the Steel City Derby.

02:50Sunderland, they dropped points on Saturday, they blew a two goal lead against Coventry.

02:54But for the most part, they've been exemplary this season.

02:56Sheffield United, of course, been good too.
