There are a few teams that I enjoy seeing us take points off more than others, you know the ones, and Leeds is in that group. Denis Wise seems to have done nothing to make Leeds a more palatable club, and in fact they seem to have lurched backwards towards their old self.

That's how they started, bullying and aggressive - nothing wrong with a bit of that but when it's all you've got on the pitch, it becomes clear as to why Leeds find themselves in the bottom three. I honestly expected to see some half decent football from the visitors, in the belief that given the apparent strength of their squad they must be in this predicament through misfortune and the want of "smaller" clubs to beat them. Once underway however, it was plain that they are at the moment the lowest of all the struggling Yorkshire clubs because they are simply not very good.

On the day, we were not exactly fantastic either and might've found a better side hard to contain. Leeds were at lest often resilient at the back but coming forward they had little to offer. What chances they had were fairly standard breaks or set pieces, and they lacked a creative spark.

Town looked composed on the whole but prone to the odd panic attack when pushed, and although we held the ball for long periods it took an age to get it forward from the middle. Better than hit-and-hope though, and if we have the ball - they can't score (unless its one of *those* corners).

The bright spot of this game was Gavin Williams' excellent strike up Churchman’s end before half time. Alan Lee cued it up and Williams leathered it in from the edge of the box.

The three points are very welcome after another lean stretch, and they take us above Norwich again. With a fair few games in a short space of time around the corner, hopefully we'll find ourselves in a much healthier position come 2007.
