This time I hope they get the job done they are a side that if they come up they will invest and hold their own. They have a wonderful coach that will help them along the way.
8. Chris Sutton
Leeds United showed tonight what a great addition they will be to the Premier League...
9. Alan Shearer
We did say when you have this many chances on top that much, you have got to take your chances When you see the travelling fans, theyve got everything. They would be a great addition to the Premier League.
10. Jermaine Beckford
They didnt seem to be doing the same things as they did in the first-half - it looked like the intensity was at an all-time low. Thats the worst Ive seen Leeds this season in the second-half, so it was quite surprising to see that.
