Well, a new chapter in Leeds's history is about to begin.
I don't know much about the new manager Javi Gracia, but what I have seen is promising. Now everyone needs to get behind Gracia and the team.
Let's hope that in this game we get the first 3 points of many in straight
and we will climb the table. So Common Leeds. I predict a 3-0 Leeds win
You will not get more from me at this time.
Leeds had 85 % pass accuracy v Soton,more than any game under JM ..
After next weekend please Seaside.
Means the Mighty Whites would have won on Saturday!
Do you want Chelski to sack Harry Potter now?
Or after next weekend?
Well done scrappy game but a win is a win MOT
Icelandic White, not for the first time our hero! Congrats!
PS. How this Saints team beat Chelski is beyond me😊
Ice Ice Baby!!!
I noticed one thing in the game today. when the team was coming on in the second half Gracia was talking to Gnonto and for sure giving him some information. for me, it looks like Gnonto did not follow his order and that is way he was taken off . Maby asking him to kross the ball more
TFFT
Congrats Ice, these 3 pts at least gIve us a fighting chance.
Took a leaf out of Soopa's book and missed the game, perhaps I should consider the same again😋.
The league table seems to be wrong. They have given us 3 points for the win, I thought you only got 2, we did the last time we won anyway.
Super Leeds and Super Iceman.
I was lucky enough to find a stream albeit with a foreign commentary....
We huffed and puffed and I can't really pick anyone out as MOM. We dominated the ball without having clear cut chances and Soton were awful and didn't present any problems.... them and Bournemouth are down with one other. Palace have even come back into the relegation battle.
You really will be a hero Iceman if we can nick it at Chelscum 👏
Well done to Firpo who has improved but in fairness can only get better!
I can't really comment on Sergio Garcia as he hasn't had time to put his stamp on us. It was like the Brentwood game where they didn't really attack us but it's these type of games where other teams go 2 up and kill the game off....
On the positive side I'm now fluent in Arabic....
Well played guys and congrats Ice....Fook me....A Win!!! PHEEEEEEEWWWW!!!
massive win,good performances,good start for Gracia.
nice to finally have a manager who can change formations during games.early days but good start.
well done Iceman.keep the run going..
4-4-2 is the future.
Well played lads, still alive 😁
And ICEMAN - you are the MAN!!!!
FIIIIIIRRRRRRRRPPPPPPOOOOO
Good Luck Iceman, Cummmmmmonnnnnnn U Mighty Fookin Whites 2-1 to The Mighty Leeds United, On, On, On😃
good luck Iceman.
great write up.
COME ON LEEDS.MOT ..
4-4-2 according to BBC radio Leeds but lifted from BBC website......
For his first game as Leeds boss, Javi Gracia makes one change to the Whites side beaten at Everton last weekend.
Midfielder Brenden Aaronson starts, with Crysencio Summerville dropping to the bench. It could well mean we see Aaronson and Harrison acting as wide midfielders, who look to impact the game in the middle of the pitch - a tactic Gracia used to good effect at Watford. Although the good people at Opta feel it's going to be 4-2-3-1
Max Wober, who went off with an injured shoulder at Goodison Park, is fit to start. Midfielder Marc Roca is on the bench.
Leeds XI: Meslier, Ayling, Firpo, Koch, Wober, Adams, McKennie, Harrison, Aaronson, Gnonto, Bamford.
Haha he's the worst one to foul the opposition when they have their back to the goal, going nowhere towards the touchline!
He also said he was nearing his best ever form... FFS! 🙈🤣
Think he'll play today and hope he does well but next few games are vital for him and the team....
So the game plan according to firpo is not to give away free kicks near the box !
Well if last week was a must win, pretty sure that this game is make or break. Leaving aside the p*ss poor effort last week, in general we haven't been too bad. I'm hoping today that lady luck shines on us and we bag all three points and Bambi finally has his radar adjusted and finds the net. Probably be a case of which team makes the least critical mistakes. Please do not give away free kicks in or around the penalty area, Ward-Prowse is deadly!.
Good luck Ice Man. No pressure but if you get this wrong we've had it.
2-0 Leeds
Good Luck IceIce Baby!!!
You are a legend on here. Keep us in the promised land
MOT ALAW WACCOE WAL
Most of the games we have played this season have not been bad. what is missing is putting the ball into the net. first and foremost we need to let the ball do the work.
pass the ball quickly. to many times this season players try to do it all at their one instead of teamwork.
work together work as a team and we will win
Quality MDT Ice and good luck for a prolonged run....
As much as we badly need the 3pts, I think Sergio Garcia will try and keep it tight at the back first and foremost and win in a 'normal' fashion without being too gung ho....
I'm going for a VERY tight 1-0 win with Little Willy coming inside and poking at the back.... plenty of scuffles and confrontations as well.
MOT....
Not another soul destroying defeat.
Not another draw after being four up going into injury time.
It's a competent 2 0 result and out of the relegation three.
Tyler and C&W should give the Saints midfield quartet the runaround.

St Douglas of Bader
Isla St Clair

Meslier
Ayling Koch Berardi Alioski

All hope is restored.

very well done for stepping up Iceman - you're last run was the stuff of legend - we need that magic again!
I have decided to get excited, and believe that the new manager bounce will be with us - It'll be edgy but we'll get what we need:
Leeds 2-1 Southampton (Bamford, Harrison) with Ward-Prowse matching Beckham for free kick goals after Robin Koch gives a silly set piece away.
