Pos. 4 goals at home, team and crowd at their raucous best.
Neg. DCL, He is playing at the top of his game, but he will have to watch that elbow. Yellow cards mounting up and he could cop a straight red.

+ Justin's quiet brilliance. We didnt miss Roden.
- Not going to be picky after going 3rd in the best league in the world.

P: Good performance all round. Defence seemed more organised, midfield seemed cohesive, the front 2 were a constant threat and Trafford made his saves look easy - not fussed about him getting closed down or the air kick as for me the biggest factor is him as a keeper and there was a good punch away from a corner, good positioning and felt he had the shot covered but the deflection took it away.
N: Only disappoint was the late goal - felt a bit Chelsea-esque in that we had the chances to get it away but didn't and it fell perfectly for their guy, who looked like he miscontrolled it but then fell perfectly for him, and then the deflection took it away from Trafford.

That's three yellows now, a long way to the cut-off date.
The thought of Nmecha starting up front gives me tummy wobbles.

Maybe Bahoya's not quite ready.

P - First time we've scored four goals since December 2025 vs Palace.
Also, first time we've been 3rd in the Premier League since the 2002/3 season,
N - You know me & a lack of a clean sheet.

Positive: Brilliant team effort. What an unselfish, cohesive unit we have.
Negative: The goal we conceded that cost me a raft of fantasy points.

Pos. At the end, DF apparently lecturing Ampadu on some point, and Ampadu looking serious and listening intently. If that doesn’t demonstrate the state of the nation at Leeds right now, nothing does.
Neg. Move on, nothing to see here.

P. Nine players performances on any other day could have topped the MOTM ratings, it was hard to pick six.
N. No clean sheet and even if we had kept one, Trafford doing his best to make sure we didn’t get one

+ Great win and the perfect way to bounce back after the Chelsea game. ER will be a tougher place then last season for any team.
- Clean sheets are always good to have, so a pity about that. But its a very minor blemish on a very good nights football.

positive - cracking atmosphere, dominant performance, 4 goals.
negative - late goal was frustrating but will only be remembered if we miss out on Europe because of goal difference

P: A great win and excellent first 75 minutes - ren the Bar Codes ragged.
N: Conceding the initiative in the last 15 minutes when we could/should have scored six.
