My kids first Leeds United games ....what a success they loved it

The atmosphere in the family stand was very family friendly and the whole game buzz was brilliant

Good team spirit to come back from behind again, good to get the first win under the belt, good that Farke made changes and improved the side. A lot of positives in these early days.
I'd be taking these matches as they come, we're not gonna win the thing so i'd be using them like last night to try things out.

A good friendly if you will, would hate to lose a couple of key players in one of these 'dead rubbers'

Good for moral though and trying to get a good team spirit going (any win is a good win)

Also good atm whilst he's still figuring things out re - who he feels he can use, and what he wants and where and also to experiment.
Not dependent on Google, the www or 'stats' - Just a guy that puts his eyes to full use on the beautiful game :geek: ...That Ayling goal and "You couldn't script it :lol: " - Dirty Leeds B@stard.
Must dash.

Seemed to step up 2nd half again.

Poveda seems to be getting the most praise and Sini unsurprisingly seems to have done well in his cameo
Moving Apamdu back into midfield at half-time made the difference.

Gyabi struggled as did Hjelde, both subbed at the break.

Very much so, especially when he had our No.4 alongside him.

I thought Joffy was poor last night, Andrew.

Dan wasn't great last night, mind you, that applied to several of them to be brutally honest.

That's what Farke did, though he hasn't many options, to be honest Kenny boy.

He would have found out some home truths.

Not really, we were awful in the first-half.

If only we could hit the target more often.

Glad they enjoyed it.

I couldn’t move for kids outside the ground, not complaining though, thought it was great to see the excitement on their faces.

Yep, it might help if we signed a recognised striker rather than relying on a half crocked aging Bamford.
