3-1 win in the opening game of The Championship. Leeds were apparently impressive.
 
Stoke were very poor. All three relegated sides failed to win.

They've lost 4 of their last 6. No longer top of the league and look like the wheels are beginning to fall off.
 
I’ve not watched much of Leeds this season. Just watching them against Arsenal and they’re destroying them. Got to say a very impressive first half. Had a bet on them at HT now after that performance at 12/5 so they’ll probably go to rubbish.
 
I think if they come up they’ll be like Wolves and Sheff Utd comfortably safe and catch a few teams out.

They’ve got one of the worlds best coaches in Bielsa and everyone has bought into it and it shows in your face football played at break neck speed.
 
3-0 down against Crawley in FA Cup. I don't think their style is sustainable. If they dont change I doubt Bielsa will be there next season.
 
Always nice to see your opponent chuck on a reality TV star for a bit of extra publicity when the game is won as well.
 
He was an academy footballer in his youth but never got a pro contract.

Crawley gave him a pro deal this season made his pro debut at 33.

I do agree with @Shoot they will collapse in a few months don’t think they’ll go down but they’ll end up somewhere in mid table which is fine for the first season.

I think they are likely to finish around 14th, thats hardly mid table
 
I'd say it's spot on midtable. Midtable is those that avoid the relegation fight and don't join the fight for the European places. Pointless midtable mediocrity.

I'd say anwhere from 7th to 14th is mid table.

They're currently 12th my guess is they'll stay about their maybe drop 1 place as Wolves are below them and I think they'll get above them.

First season back in the top flight in 15 years they should be happy with that.
