Sheffield Wednesday recorded their first point of the season at the weekend against a Leeds side who just couldn't find their rhythm. It was hoped that Leeds would build on their fine win against Ipswich the week before; especially against a side who have lost eight of their last nine matches and were sitting at the foot of the table, but football is never that straight forward.

The Whites dominated for most of the game, but had little to show for it. For all their probing and movement, the they couldn’t carve a way through, and when they did, Devis Vásquez (their man between the sticks) would come to the rescue. Every game this season (bar Ipswich) the opposition keepers have put in man of the match performances, making saves well above their pay grades, and last Saturday was no different.

As the clocked ticked down, Farke's men became more impatient, and gaps started to appear. Leeds were continually caught out on the counter attack in the last half hour. Miraculously, the visitors ended up having more shots on target than Leeds.

The writing was on the wall when Leeds had a stone-wall penalty shout turned down, after Dominic Iorfa shoved Wilfred Gnonto to the ground. The decision confused the 36,484 in attendance, but as we know, decisions rarely go our way. Leeds now have (almost) a two week break before travelling to Bermondsey, during which time the new signings can get acclimatised to the Elland Road surroundings.
