Leeds United v Crystal Palace Match Thread - Unchanged starting XI, Joe Gelhardt makes the bench

[Boo Radley]

Hope so But the top 6 always get their way in the end. Could even see Barca or Real Madrid interested in him.

Sadly, that’s probably true. If that’s the case the club must make it as expensive as possible for them. Then we go again

[1964white]

At least he has a go, scored a few good uns an'all

Indeed Jack has Swannie, took his goal well tonight which obviously settled us down from the start.

[Peter in Blackpool]

Excellent performance.

No stupid passing at the back, looking dangerous at all times going forward.

10/10.

well we did, but got away with it,

first halk spider boy only just got to ball before palace, second half, struyk slipped in possession as last man, just managed to recover in time

[Carrick Dave]

IMO in the long term I think we have the more all round player...not that I am not a fan of white's as well... but overall Struijk for me will be the better long term player

I think I agree Smudge - the perceived difference in quality even at this point would make me hesitate to chase Ben again in the summer with a £25+m price tag.

Until I saw that stat tonight, I didn't realise how many times we've hit the woodwork.

14 times this season, highest in the PL

We are top of a league

[SG90]

I remember reading that he’s supposed to be one of the best passers in the squad, hence the Phillips - backup experiment.

How do you think he measures up compared to White last year?

Struijk is doing it in the PL, while White did it in the Championship. And he's 2 years younger.

I had a feeling we'd be top.

Jack Harrison's opener (2 minutes 35 seconds) was Leeds' fastest Premier League goal since ***** ******** netted against Blackburn Rovers back in April 2004 (second minute).

Anyone know the scorer?

That's what the great teams do....get away with things

That's what the goalkeeper is there for....to get there (just or not)

But he managed to recover (Struijk)....after a slip, again that's what good players do, they dont give up

[Carrick Dave]

Struijk is doing it in the PL, while White did it in the Championship. And he's 2 years younger.

He’s really progressed this season - I assume Koch and Llorente will have to fight to regain their place when fit.

Stephen Caldwell header with Viduka scoring the other Leeds goal at Ewood Park. I was there

I took a couple of guesses then googled it. I got it wrong, so I won't say who it was.

I knew if anyone knew it would be you.

Actually forgot he played for us until I saw that stat.

John,I could have been guessing until this time next week and still wouldn't have got it

[1964white]

Some real horrors playing for us in the PL then

Michael Duberry, Jermaine Pennant & Seth (frigging) Johnson

Is it any wonder why we were relegated

[Carrick Dave]

Phil Hay pronounces it Stroyick, so I'm going with that.

That’s what I heard too. In my head.

[1964white]

Was Caldwell Scottish?

[gessa]

Was Caldwell Scottish?

Yes got a few caps too.

I saw it already on the BBC, so that'd been cheating if I answered.

[Velotrax]

Jack's good at hitting the woodwork bless him!

A tad harsh Leon, Jack did good tonight...
