Leeds United made decent inroads towards the Championship’s automatic promotion spots with Saturday’s 3-0 win at home to Coventry City – but what did the club’s fans think?Here is what our YEP Jury had to say on the weekend’s win against the Sky Blues including the emergence of a new star man but team upgrade requirements and Tuesday night’s battle at Norwich City.
DAVID WATKINS
The fixtures have been kind to Leeds United so far; four of our league games having been against teams in the bottom seven but these were precisely the sorts of teams we struggled to beat last season.
The foundations were laid this time with an early goal and then a totally dominant display for the rest of the half. The goal was a sublime finish from Willy Gnonto suggesting maybe we have focused on our finishing this week in training!
We had other first-half chances but Ben Wilson in the visitors’ net was inspired with top-class saves from Ilia Gruev, Largie Ramazani and Mateo Joseph. An early goal in the second half pretty much ended the contest – Jayden Bogle neatly finishing a clever one-two with Ramazani.
Truth be told, Coventry then controlled much of the second half as Leeds sat back but they created very little in front of goal apart from forcing Illan Meslier into one brilliant late save. It was left to Joel Piroe to come on for another late cameo appearance, scoring his customary goal.
Maybe we could have kept our foot on the gas in the second half but this was as complete a performance as you can ask for.
