I dread to think how much money has been lost since Bates took over.

There's still people that think he 'saved' us too sadly.

Only the East Stand Upper left said TSB/LUST on Twitter. A full Elland Road can create goals

32,000 biggest opening day crowd since
Newcastle in 2003
Well done to all concerned

Wasn't last attendance we had on an opening match at 30,000 against Derby County (30,459) in the season 2004/2005 which we won 1-0.

Yeah it was apprentley 36,000 have been shifted now
Only 1k left Brighton only sold 1,500 which if that's the case tbe capacity can't be 37,000 can it this is off os btw not waccoe

Good start to the season for Leeds keep it up

First game first win in front of 34,000 can't ask fir any more than that '

MOT

Not having seen the last minute goal, I heard there was claims of handball in the lead up.
Yay or nay.
I'm a Brighton fan btw and I don't necessarily expect an honest answer in this thread, but please try.

Didn't see it clearly enough from where I was sat but have heard similar on a Leeds forum I use. Still, if true, can't complain Thought you'd nicked it at the end but Kenny's save was quality!

Great day today and the first for a long time where I've walked away ecstatic. I had to take 5 minutes after to sit down and catch my breath...something I haven't done (in joy anyway) for a while. Those moments are what football is all about.

Quite surprised about the handball controversy. As there was no mention of it on John salako match report then I saw all
Brighton players complaining at final whistle

Cheers for the honesty.
Conceding late goals was Brighton's MO last season,
Probably cost us automatic promotion.
Not happy to see it continuing

What a great result for Leeds against Brighton the favs to go up. 3 points thanks

Favourites, nit sure where you got that from
Goof result but there are much stronger teams than Brighton

Can't wait for a few beers tonight in the Peacock, first visit there in about 3 years.

My ticket only cost £5 (Restricted view) so at that price you can't complain at all.

Think we'll grind out a win and put out a very young side, they won't be easy to face though. 2-1 Leeds.

Hopefully see starts for Mowatt and Dawson, with older lads like Brown (who's a good influence apparently) around them they won't really have any pressure on them. Poleon should start also imo, was good on Saturday and I'd like to see more of him. Hopefully get to see what Smith is made of too.

Don't think that was a bad point at all. Leicester has always been a bit of a bogey team but I felt we were evenly matched today. They came close near the end but we did well on the whole.

Defence did well on the whole and looked composed. Peltier struggles under pressure and nearly gifted them a goal in the second half. Warnock looks to be weaker under the diamond, he works best with a LM in front of him to overlap but seemed restricted today. Not bad though.

Murphy was quiet and Green looked weaker than last week but still decent. Green was very much someone to move it from midfield to attack but I think he's best as a tidy upper. Austin was played how he's meant to be...a physical beast that nothing gets in the way of. Glad BM can see it. McCormack looked frustrated against their more physical players.

Varney did really well imo, worked hard and certainly offered a presence, scared their defence in the first half. Hunt was quiet but their CB's were beasts in all fairness.

A good point away from home and hopefully will shift up the ticket sales for Sheff Weds a bit, could do with a bumper crowd.

Happy with the 0-0 I think the reason Hunt was quiet was BMD pushed him out wide right, i think it was the right tactic with Leicester playing 3 at the back

Yep pretty happy with a point today, we looked a lot more organised than we did for most of last season and it was good to see that BMD had apparently thought about the team set up and tactics which is such a change from how Warnock used to set up teams away from home!

Just seemed to lack a bit of quality going forward but nothing new there! I thought Poleon and Smith both caused problems when they came on though so at least we have some different options now.

Brilliant to see Ross McCormack had signed a new
4 year deal to beat off Boro
Some are saying he is our highest paid player since premier league days
Hmm

That is great news Ross has always maintaned he wanted to stay and the fans love him.
If we beat QPR we will be top for a couple of hours.

According to the os ticket details for Newcastle are being released shortly rumours are we getting 7,800
Really can't see us selling that many for night match
As I doubt they will go on general sale

Apprentley some sites seem
To think we getting Shane long on
Loan when window opens some might think it far fetched but he worked under McDermott at reading and he grew up supporting leeds from late 90s and went to cl games
Can't see it personally
Hmm

I would love to see S Long at Leeds. Next week is the emergency loan window. It's a good time to pick-up Premiership players not moved on during the transfer window and surplus to requirements at their clubs.........I hope!!

7 points away from home, today wasnt great but win is a win
On to reading where am sure McDermott will want to do well
But got to be happy with our start so far

Unbelievably we have sold 6k tickets for a cup tie
Against a lower region premier league team
Despite the fact that they lost at home to
Hull and we only scored 2 goals in 3 games and lowest scorers in championship & believe Newcastle fans are having a protest
Against Ashley due to lack of spending
They should try putting up with No investment for 7 years against highest ticket prices in country then they Would have something to moan about

Not pretty last night and nothing to get to excited about But win is a win no matter how albeit against 10 msn without regular keeper on
Still doesn't paper over cracks how average we are we need a goalscorer and quick
