Funny isn't it. Piroe looks extra fired up too.

You wouldn’t think so the way we are playing.
So far it’s on a par with the Sheffield Utd game for me.

what subs should DF bring on and for whom ? And of course when
Leeds need to bring in a midfielder who can score goals and a decent number 9 in Jan 2027.

Cardiff highlighting what can happen to you when you come to Leeds with a 4-3-3 and try and play through us.

Now that they have went a bit less adventurous the game has taken on a familar pattern

But the link up play between Firpo and Solomon on one side and Bogle and James has been top class.

Aaronson has been busy and Piroe has looked like a ten at times haha

early third goal and we can sub at the 60 minute mark, while it stays 2-0 probably the 70th

I'd expect Gnonto Joseph and Rama on at some point Guiliavogui on in added time

Give Gnonto, Rama and Joseph 30 mins for James, Solomon and Piroe

Struijk and Wober for the CBs later

Cracking game. Tanaka awesome. James having the time of his life. Rothwell creative. Even Piroe bossing it after a couple of shy passes early on. Cardiff virtually guarantee that no other team this season will come to ER and try and take us on. Can we turn this dominance into a bagful of goals? Time will tell, but recent history isn’t on our side. Come on Leeds!

Nice to see Tanaka more involved than the last few matches, OB. The overall game state has certainly helped.

His timing has been immaculate today. It looks as though he’s everywhere he reads the game so well.
