Not sure how a thread about someone asking why this game isn't being shown on Sky Sports+ has resulted in a few posters having a (yet another) pop at our club.
You’re not sure because it hasn’t happened.

Coventry just didn't turn up in the first half.

Dismal display.

Leeds too good for this division but I think Burnley have a chance of getting second place

Leeds will Farke it up in the PL, they keep clean sheets now but they won’t in the PL - like us under VK.

They’ll be hard to catch this year though, although as others have said it may be best if they beat our other two rivals this month. Let’s not forget though, we have the better defensive record AND have got 4 points and kept 2 clean sheets against them.

What Leeds are very very good at is seeing off the weaker sides by simply overpowering them....just like us 2 seasons back.
When it comes to playing stronger teams like us they're nothing special.
I think, like us,they'll be found out quickly next season in the prem... and should we both be promoted then Burnley, under Parker, will fare the better of the two.

Good post, fatboy, although I think we still have a chance of catching them this season.

Leeds are owned by Red Bull, they'll sign loads of decent players and sack Farke at the first sign of trouble. I think Leeds are the only side I think stand a chance of staying up anytime soon tbh because of who owns them

I'd forgotten about Red Bull, Vegas. Red Bull Burnley: now that would have a ring to it.

Hope youre right Quicknick...I think both Sheff U and Sunderland will take points off them....at least they cant all win.

Newcastle are owned by Saudi but they don’t seem to be able to spend, wouldn’t Leeds be in a similar position?

Not sure whether this is better or worse, but it’s 49ers who own Leeds. Redbull only have a minority stake. 5% or something from memory.

A bit like VK & Russell Martin, I can't see how Farke would change his philosophy in the Prem.

We've seen it when we played Norwich and they were 2-0 down after 15 mins because they played suicidal football out from the back.

Play the same way next season and Leeds will be relegated unless they get a new manager.

If Leeds go up they will spend a lot of money. There'll probably be some hefty sponsorship deals to help finance it.
