Everywhere We're gonna be there

We love you Leeds, Leeds, Leeds

Marching on together

We're gonna see you win...

We carry the weight of expectation on our shoulders.

Come on, Leeds! Come on!

The weight of the whole city on your shoulders.

We're fighting Leeds!

We weren't the club that the city deserved or wanted.

We didn't quite get there.

And that is the moment that sees Leeds United confirmed

to another season in the Championship.

To lose out like that, and to have been in the position we were in.

It's, you know... That feeling.

The fans maybe think that we just forget everything

and it's all forgotten about. But it's not.

It's... It was terrible, to be honest.

You know, to come so close and then to be winning the game

and then lose it in the way we did, I was just gutted.

Defeat is very hard to take.

It lasts for a while.

It's still there and you start to ask yourself

what you should have done differently.

You can't dwell on it.

You have to use that as your motivation now

and just go that one step further.

Everybody came together for a common goal

and whilst it ultimately ended in disappointment,

I'd do it all again if we had to.

The biggest concern was...

"This has been amazing, can we do it again?"

We've given the fans some fabulous memories

and I think we've given them their pride back.

We've given the city

the hope that they can have the club that they all deserve.

In one short season, they've just gone from no expectation whatsoever to,

"Boom! Leeds are on their way to be back in the Premier League where they belong,"

Destroying teams, playing absolutely fantastic football, to...

"You didn’t quite make it, lads. You didn't quite make it."

But you've gotta go again.

Leeds United are embarking

on their 16th consecutive season outside of the top flight.

After falling agonizingly short of promotion last year,

the club must start again with the aim of achieving a top-two spot

and a place in next year’s Premier League.

Head coach, Marcelo Bielsa, has agreed to stay on for one more year

to try and go one step better than his first season in English football.

For the club, work needs to be done.

Finances must be managed,

and Bielsa must be given a squad capable of matching his ambitions.

We had always planned for two eventualities.

A fully-blown plan for being in the Premier League

and also plan for it not happening. But the most depressing element of it

was that we had been sent, by the Football League,

40,000 tickets for Wembley

and we had to hand them over to the managing director of Derby County,

who took them away in his car.

That was just devastation.

It was tough, but the next day, Victor and I were in the office

saying "What are we going to do? How are we going to fix this?"

And I think that's how we dealt with the grief

was focusing to fix it this season.

Alright?

- How we feelin'? - Tired.

- I only got back last night. - Were you still on holiday yesterday?

Of course coming back...

You know coming back to Thorp Arch and seeing the players,

It does... it did hit you a bit, that, you know,

it did go horribly wrong at the end of the season.

But I think that gave us extra motivation to come back

and try and hit the ground running

and use last year as a blessing in disguise really.

How am I still growing?

To be honest, it didn't really settle in for me

for another couple of weeks.

Then knowing that the manager was staying

and coming back for pre-season, it was just forgotten about.

A couple of weeks to go, you're working your socks off again

ready to come back in and it’s just... you move on.

The more you dwell on it, I think, obviously, you'll have a hangover.

I think it was more excitement to get back in.

The boys all have come back really fit

because we didn't obviously have the longest break.

Just focused on that wrong, coming back and making it a right.

Marcelo Bielsa’s style of play

requires supreme levels of fitness from the players.

And after their summer holidays,

the squad arrive back for pre-season training.

And their fitness, weight and body fat

are all measured in minute detail.

What did I finish on?

Fuck's sake, get that camera out of here lads.

Come on.

Go and stick it on a young prodigy or something.

Certainly took an extra push

to make sure you're on your weights, make sure you’re on your body fats,

make sure you're doing everything right.

The first year was a bit of...

Maybe a bit of fear from him and wanting to impress him.

But second year, it has got to come within yourself.

The boys know that if we're gonna live up to them standards

and even go higher than those standards,

I think we need to keep pushing yourself, keep pushing yourself.

Well, I was 66 before I left.

A bit nervous to go in there at the minute.

Hey, get 'em on here, lads. What are you thinkin'? Check the tan out!

Get on these ones again, as well, they were never that...

Gettin' thinner...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no...

7.2, 7.2!

Why are you so dramatic? It’s the start of the season.

That's not too bad.

6.8. Just wanna aim for the tricep.

You might be alright here, you know.

Oh, my God.

The players are not only returning to training

they are returning to a revamped training ground,

designed to the exact specification of Marcelo and his staff.

Gracias, thank you.

It now resembles a health and leisure club rather than a training ground.

But he was adamant that he wanted the right environment for the players.

It’s an elite environment now. It’s a Premier League club.

When we start to work again this year

it’s easy for us because we know what we need to do.

It was that same feeling that like, as soon as he comes out,

then the boys knew: "It's murderball time, let's go."

We know it's hard.

The training is long days

but we know that if we do what Marcelo wants

we have a great chance.

This is our mentality from the first day.

Preparations for the new season are underway on the pitch.

Off the pitch, work needs to be done.

Leeds’ failure to secure promotion last season

means that the club must now balance the books and sell players.

Failure to satisfy league rules around financial fair play

would mean a heavy points deduction.

The dialogue on the internet is about Andrea

not being able to invest behind the team,

and even to the extent that he’s stealing money

from the club to line his own pockets.

The reality is, Andrea can’t put any more money in.

The profit and sustainability rules mean,

however much he had to put in the club, we can't spend.

The other reality is that

Andrea is putting his hand in his pocket month after month.

Every month for last season I have to write him an email

and I have to request pretty much one and a half million pounds

to keep the club running and every month he says yes.

And that's the measure of his commitment.

We are going to talk to Marcelo

and be very clear that we have limitations in our market transfer.

The finance of the last three years of the club are showing big losses.

We could be possibly penalised

with a deduction of points by the league.

So in order to not be penalised, to not have this risk...

we have to sell some players.

How would you describe your exit from Leeds?

When it happened, it was a lot of emotions, of course,

because I wasn't prepared for it.

The first player to leave Elland Road is cult figure Pontus Jansson.

So, us boys were back in training

when Pontus was still on international duty,

so us boys never actually got to see him after the Derby game.

Pontus came the same summer as I did and he's all I'd known,

playing next to me and, yeah,

then one day he's there and the next he's gone, so...

It’s not good news, no. For... I think, for the team, for the players,

more so for players like me, for some players like Berardi and Alioski

because we spend more time outside the training ground.

But this is football. We can do nothing.

Following Jansson out of the club is young star, Jack Clarke

who is signing for Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.

Marcelo’s philosophy is that no man is bigger than the team.

And the team ethos has to come first

and we have to trust Marcelo on those decisions,

that he's got the vision of the whole of the team at heart.

Leeds cannot expect to sell their star players

and still challenge for promotion.

They must also bring in players who can improve the team.

Director of Football, Victor Orta and Marcelo Bielsa,

have identified potential in a young player,

one who has never previously played Championship football.

- Hiya, you alright? - Morning.

- Hello, how are you? - Good thank you.

I’m alright.

I would be sitting here and lying to you

if I said to you I knew who Ben White was because at the time,

nobody really in the Championship had really heard of him.

Just pretend you're signing that bit of paper for us.

Marcelo really, really rated him highly.

He’s not a household name, he's not a name which will excite the fans.

Marcelo wants ball players at the back.

He doesn’t want big centre-halves who are gonna thump it out every time.

He wants people who can play it out.

Ben can absolutely do that.

One of the successes of this season

is going to be players like him stepping up and delivering.

Leeds are putting their faith in a crop of young, hungry players

and, in keeping with that strategy,

sign French goalkeeper, Illan Meslier

and bring back Jack Harrison on loan from Manchester City.

A player who impressed Bielsa while at the club last season.

- Hiya, Jack. - Hiya, you alright?

Yes, I'm alright. Thank you. How are you doing?

If you look at the transfer window this summer across the Championship,

there's not been big money spent.

It was only two years ago

that Wolves were spending 40 million in a transfer window.

I think our signing of Helder will probably be the biggest signing.

Getting a special player, who is a Premier League player,

to come to Championship is always a challenge.

But Helder has been very committed to the Leeds cause.

He's committed himself to Leeds for the long term.

The Leeds board are attempting to balance the books

by selling players of significant value

and freshening up the squad with young talent,

primarily on loan from Premier League clubs.

But all of Leeds’ financial problems could be solved in their entirety

with the sale of just one player:

Kalvin Phillips.

Kalvin is a player we rate really highly.

Last year he seemed to sum up the spirit of the side.

I mean, a lot of people talk about the money in football

and, y'know, it's life-changing. And it is life-changing.

There was a lot of speculation about me

possibly playing for England.

There was quite a lot of talk that I wouldn't be able

to play for England if I was still in the Championship, so...

That was one of the things that made me think

that I need to be in the Premier League.

It's challenging when the players are offered the chance

to move to the Premier League they have great financial incentive.

But they have a fantastic footballing incentive as well

so our job is to try and persuade the player

that their best chance of playing in the Premier League

is going to be with Leeds United.

As the transfer activity rolls on,

Leeds head to Australia for a pre-season tour.

Expectation, you're going to Australia pre-season, fantastic, brilliant,

you're going to get to see Australia. The reality... we saw the hotel

and the stadiums.

So, yeah, it’s been... It's been intense

but we knew it was going to be a hard, hard schedule.

Another game before we start the season

so another chance to get that competitive edge, fitness,

work on that winning mentality and do the hard work.

Manchester, wank, wank, wank!

Leeds’ first game of their Australian tour

is against another English side who have made the trip down under:

arch-rivals, Manchester United.

It's another very important step for our club

that we are here, we are in this country,

playing a big enemy like Man United,

so we can't wait to be on the pitch and do our best.

Even though the fixture is officially a friendly game,

the atmosphere is intense

and 55,000 fans have packed the Optus Stadium for the match.

We all love Leeds We all love Leeds

We all love Leeds We all love Leeds

A loss is never good to take, but what an atmosphere.

I still think our fans were loud, they were passionate,

there was so much support given to the team, for the boys.

The result could have been better

but sometimes I think you can look at the bigger picture.

We outmanned Man U

- like you would not believe. - There were no scum fans anywhere.

You could understand the actual atmosphere,

it was brilliant.

Manchester, wank, wank, wank

In the second game of the tour,

Leeds face local side, Western Sydney Wanderers

looking to rebuild some momentum following the defeat to Manchester United.

Harrison is in the area, cuts back and it’s a goal!

Mateusz Bogusz, the 17-year-old.

They come up within the final stages. It's Hernandez.

Goes on a run into the box, doing it all himself, Hernandez!

The Spanish Magician.

Tell you what, never realised like how many Leeds fans is...

not travelled, but are based in Australia.

I couldn't believe the following that there is here.

I'm proud to own this club because we are really a big club.

Even here, 6,000 miles away from Yorkshire,

so I'm very honoured, I'm very glad to represent Leeds United.

We should all be proud and we are working to be back where we belong.

It's just amazing, innit? It just...

You look, the other night at the Optus Stadium,

it was just Leeds, Leeds everywhere.

It was like a dream come true.

To have Leeds turn up in Australia,

and to be here, it's like all my dreams have come true.

With the tour complete, Leeds United head back to England

to continue their preparations

for the new Championship campaign.

And to decide on the futures of a number of key players.

One of those players is Pablo Hernandez.

Last season’s player of the year is approaching 35 years of age

and some in the media are speculating whether at this stage of his career,

Hernandez can still perform to his previous high standards

throughout the gruelling 46-game Championship season.

It's hard to describe when somebody's so good at their craft.

You can't help but be impressed with Pablo.

As a person, he's a really lovely family man, quite quiet.

You see what an amazing footballer he is and he just blows you away,

and people might suggest he's old,

but there's something magical about Pablo Hernandez.

It's difficult, you know, when you arrive to this age, 35.

I know my age but if I feel good,

I feel that I can compete with the other boys.

When I started to talk with the club for a new contract,

I always say to the club, the first option for me is Leeds United.

Hernandez is offered, and signs, a new 2-year deal at the club.

And he is joined by Stuart Dallas and captain, Liam Cooper,

who also commit to Leeds for the foreseeable future

by signing new contracts.

I’ve always wanted to be here.

It's home from home, really, for me.

This is my fifth year, going into my sixth year,

it's nice to be rewarded with a new contract.

This year we want to give it another go

and, hopefully, we can achieve that this season.

Some of the core of last year’s team are staying at Leeds,

but one of the heroes of the previous campaign

is on his way out.

Kemar Roofe is sold to Belgian side, Anderlecht.

I'm excited to be here

and I think the project is the most exciting thing.

To see where they want to be and where they want to get to

and the style they want to play to get there

is really encouraging for me.

That was a big attraction.

You've not got all these dodgy toenails on cameras, have you?

Keep your socks on!

He's wanting to challenge himself and get play time,

so he's coming from a big club

but it's about him being tested at another big club...

that are vying for promotion

and, y'know, proving that he is a good player.

Come on!

Oi, that was sick!

Come on!

There is now one final transfer window decision

that must be made before the start of the new season.

- How you doing, you alright? - Alright, love, yeah. Yeah.

- It's a bit nervous. - It is nerve-wracking.

- But we're happy, aren't we? - Yeah, course we are.

The offers we received for him,

any other team in the Championship I think would have accepted.

It doesn't make any financial sense at all

to have a player of that value playing in the Championship.

The clubs chasing him were offering him all kinds of money.

Money that wasn't affordable for a club in the Championship

to pay that sort of thing.

I’ve had offers that would have changed my life there and then.

Y'know, actually I was second-guessing myself,

I was thinking, should I leave, should I not?

I was like that... when somebody said he might move.

I said to him, what am I going to do?

He says, "You'll have to sell that house and come with me."

I've too much to leave behind.

If I left Leeds, I've got 23 grandchildren,

23 great-grandchildren

and I've got a great-great grandchild on't way,

so it wouldn't do for me to move, love.

- Move out your way, cheers. - No, it's no problem.

- Where is he? Are we waiting for Kalvin? - Well, yeah!

I bought a side table the other day

and he was right eager to come over and put it up.

So he says, "I’ll come and do that tomorrow"

and he's been to Alton Towers.

Get on't phone. I’m going home if he doesn’t come soon.

- Hello? - Get yourself up here, come on!

Fourth floor, tell him.

Fourth floor.

- Fourth floor? - Yeah.

What are you... Are you eating?

We've got some flowers from Victor.

Get flags out!

What's happening?

"What's happening?" We're waiting for you.

We’ve done a full documentary while you’ve been away.

What have you got on your feet?

Bloody hell.

Have you read it?

Kalvin Phillips has signed a new 5-year deal with his hometown club

and is staying at Leeds United.

You know, it's just finally cleared everything

so nobody's saying this and saying that.

So, yeah, just concentrate on playing football now.

She said to me that she didn't want me to leave.

We've got too much family, as well, over here

so we've got a lot of family members, so...

I think that's what it is. Family.

Come on you can look happier.

I’m going to ask you to witness it, if you will, will you sign it?

- Who, me? - Yeah, I want you to do it.

He's a great person.

He's a person who everyone loves to have around the club.

He's always got a smile on his face.

He's playing for his boyhood club,

he's a proper fan, he loves the city.

And I think, not just from a footballing perspective

but, emotionally, he was the one player we couldn’t let leave.

You know, he's the heartbeat of the team, he's a local lad

and I think, for me, Kalvin staying was just

as important as Marcelo giving us a second year.

Leeds are now set to begin their Championship season

with a refreshed squad

and a set of supporters trying to keep their emotions in check

following last season’s heart-breaking conclusion.

The way it ended was...

We... we stumbled.

I mean, we should have been promoted last year.

It was... It took a while to kind of sink in.

It was just so weird because it all happened so quickly

and you couldn’t understand really how it had happened.

It was just deeply, deeply confusing.

When you have the taste of it,

and you get the taste of being there, and you can do it

and you throw it away last minute like that...

It’s just a very Leeds-y thing to do...

Another record broken.

This time, I’m gonna try hold off as much emotion as possible...

because we’ve all seen... Anything can happen.

We've either gotta go automatic promotion or just get knocked out of the play-offs.

I don't think my heart could take that again.

If we don't go up this year, we'll never go up.

Leeds will begin the new Championship season

with an away game at Bristol City.

You can hear the Leeds fans chanting Marcelo Bielsa.

Marcelo Bielsa

The game is underway and the season has started.

Still with the ball at his feet, Harrison,

Douglas backs him up, hesitates, doesn't cross,

goes back central to Forshaw, ten yards outside the area,

now Hernandez on the edge of the area!

- Yes! - Oh, what a goal!

- Pablo Hernandez! - Come on!

Hernandez, really good work from Hernandez...

- Yes! - ...Patrick Bamford!

Striding forward for Leeds United,

he's into the penalty area and it comes back to Klich...

and it's down to Harrison!

Sometimes you talk about the impact of a coach

but here, you can actually really see the impact

because these were the same players and the difference is just incredible.

There's hardly any pundits in the pub anymore

because anybody can turn round and go, "What,

you really think you know anything more than Marcelo Bielsa?

Shut up."

Fucking too right. We'll finish top this time.

No third place, no play-offs, top.

Numero uno. That's us.

Plays a great ball through, Hernandez is clear!

Pablo Hernandez

makes it one-nil Leeds United.

Leeds in front.

Feeling hopeful for this season, definitely.

With the signings we've brought in, I think we're looking strong.

I don't want to jinx it!

Leeds are gonna win the league!

Back in it goes, great chance! Oh, he’s hit... Must be a goal!

Bamford scores for Leeds United.

We are Leeds, we are Leeds, we are Leeds!

Just like last season, Leeds are off to a strong start

and are setting the pace at the top of the Championship.

In the next fixture at Elland Road,

they welcome back a promotion rival, and an old friend.

Well, it's a bit strange because I really...

Obviously, because I'm from Scandinavia and I really liked him as a player.

He was really playing with his heart and I will miss him

and I'm going to cheer for him.

I think he deserves that.

In a tight game, Leeds need inspiration.

...to be replaced by number 14, Eddie Nketiah!

And two of their new arrivals provide it.

Klich, sets off on a bit of a forward run,

Costa's going and he’s put the afterburners on,

he’s into the penalty area...

Helder Costa... Nketiah!

What a way to say hello to your new club.

Scores at Elland Road and gives Leeds the lead.

He's settled in quite quickly to be fair.

All the lads are very keen on him and I think the fans are too.

Can't wait to see what else he can bring this year.

It’s always good to see Pontus, a familiar face.

He had a massive impact at this club

and to see him again was great.

Obviously, it must have been an odd day for him.

He had a great time here, didn't he? And the fans took to him well.

- All the best! - Good luck!

The relentless Championship season rolls on

and Leeds travel to Stoke

in a fixture they lost last season.

Luke Ayling is injured but one of the most versatile

and important members of the squad, Stuart Dallas,

is filling in for Ayling at right-back.

The boys were flying, the boys were winning.

Obviously, I wanted to them keep winning

and I'm trying to find my way back into the team

but I actually went to York Races that day

and I had the results popping up and I see Stuey's scored.

Obviously I was happy but, I was like, bloody hell.

It must have been from a corner or something

and then I get the highlights later and I’m looking at it

and I think... he's run from right-back

and he's the highest man upfield.

I'm thinking, "I can't do that."

I was like, "I haven't really got a chance."

Stuart Dallas scores for Leeds United.

What a move that is, fantastic ball.

Bamford, inside the area, Bamford on the right foot.

Oh, what a ball! And what a finish by Alioski.

We've had loads of crap chucked at us over the years

and we've come through it all. We've stepped it up a level now.

This is our year. Definitely.

Leeds remain in the hunt for promotion

as the season moves into the autumn months.

And the visit of Birmingham City to Elland Road

will mark the 100-year centenary of the club.

A special week of civic and sporting events

will take place across the city.

I’m sure that the city founders, looking back,

could not have anticipated

just how important that club has come to be

in the hearts, the minds,

the fabric of our great city.

Members of Leeds United’s greatest-ever team,

including Eddie Gray and Norman Hunter,

have joined the current squad and management for this special occasion.

Generations of families have lived

through the ups and the downs

and all of the drama and the great moments that the club has given us.

A football club is about making people proud

to feel they are a part of it, proud to belong.

That's what we want to do.

We want our supporters to be proud of the club,

we want our players to be proud of the club,

we want our legends to be proud of the club

and we want the city to be proud of the club.

Being a defender, a bit like Liam,

we don't really go across the halfway line very often.

Our job was to stay back there and defend.

I used to look around that dressing room and I used to think to myself,

"Look at the players,"

I used to think, "We can't get beat today, we're going to win this."

And I didn't mind as a defender,

I didn’t mind working and taking the bangs and the bumps

because I knew that the people that were in front of me,

they had the ability to go and score goals and win games.

And that's exactly what we done.

Ladies and gentlemen, Norman Hunter.

When I get to Elland Road now,

I always make sure I'm out at five to three

to listen to the fans singing "Marching on Together."

Marching on together...

That’s where we're at now, 100 years later.

This is the closest fixture to that Leeds United meeting

and Leeds United will walk out

to a tremendous ovation from fans who have been following this club

so well, down the decades.

Alioski's gone on the overlap, Harrison tries to play Costa in now.

Costa's cut the ball back to the edge of the six-yard box.

Harrison now, up towards the edge of the penalty area.

Now Bamford has space in the penalty area, low drive!

Over the top to Bamford, Bamford's through here,

Patrick Bamford backheels it, Costa!

Driven goalwards, blocked.

And it comes out to Dallas, and Klich, and Dallas

and it's saved by Camp, oh, my word!

The two teams head for the tunnel with the scoreline goalless.

Leeds dominate possession, create the chances,

a host of corner kicks and free kicks, but nothing yet to show for it, Ben.

I think looking at the lads who have come out,

it's Bamford for Nketiah.

Now Nketiah, edge of the penalty area, tries the shot, takes a deflection.

Alioski strikes the ball hard and wide.

Leeds have a chance. Harrison's in space,

Nketiah waits in the middle, Kalvin Phillips!

Kalvin Phillips scores for Leeds United.

The Leeds lad on the centenary day,

what a story!

Who else would you want to get the goal?

And that's it.

The full-time whistle goes

and Leeds United mark 100 years.

Super, super Leeds Super, super Leeds

Leeds continue their tremendous form through November

and just like last season, are dominating most sides they face.

Ball back into the area, Nketiah with the header, it’s there!

Eddie Nketiah!

Still with the ball at his feet into Tyler Roberts, chance to shoot.

Low drive! Tyler Roberts!

With the ball at his feet, plays the ball into the penalty spot,

still going, Harrison!

This year, however, the team take an even bigger lead

over their promotion rivals

and build a significant gap between themselves

and the third-placed team in the Championship.

The best team in the league.

I genuinely believe this is going to be our year, in our 100th year.

Not just to get back to the Premiership

but to get back to the upper echelons of the Premiership,

which is where this football club,

as one of the world's great sporting institutions, belongs.

Patrick Bamford who controls brilliantly,

Harrison with a chance... Oh, it's hit the post.

It’s in from Jack Harrison.

What a break this is from Ben White. Lovely ball, inside to Patrick Bamford

in the penalty area. Low drive from Bamford.

Oh, what a goal that is from Patrick Bamford!

We're going into next games thinking, We're dangerous.

These boys are on a run. Leeds are walking with that confidence.

It's into the path of Costa, the ball in from Costa!

Goal from Jack Harrison!

Drops to the edge of the penalty area. Klich lays it off for Costa

and then Harrison's in space if he can find him nearside,

still going... Costa!

Doesn't need any help, Helder Costa.

We certainly aren’t the biggest squad in size,

we probably haven’t got the most talented players in the side,

but we work well, we're fit

and we've got a way of playing that works for us.

Kalvin Phillips plays it short to Hernandez,

back to Phillips,

now Klich looking for space on the edge of the area, he curls it!

Oh, what a goal from Mateusz Klich!

Towards the penalty spot, breaks out for Alioski!

Oh, what a strike!

Harrison down the left-hand side, bodies in the box and it goes Hernandez!

Oh, what a goal that is from Pablo Hernandez!

Pablo Hernandez

Klich carries the ball, right up towards the edge of the penalty area!

Into the box.

Oh, it hits the inside of the post from Bamford, Alioski!

Oh, my word!

Last year, dagger in the heart.

This year, we're back. We're back.

Us boys were definitely feeling it.

We built up a 12-point gap and we were flying.

We felt untouchable.

We were doing so well, everything was falling for us

we were keeping clean sheets.

Towards Helder Costa and Helder Costa is in the penalty area.

Yes, what a start!

In December,

Leeds look set to win their eighth game in a row

at home to Cardiff City...

...as they raced a three-nil lead.

Patrick Bamford slides the ball in!

Cool and calm as you like, he gets his second...

But inexplicably, they throw away the advantage

and the game ends in a 3-3 draw.

Tomlin with a flick up towards the edge of the penalty area,

and there's a chance for the goal, it’s an equalizer,

Cardiff have pulled it back.

We seemed to go on a bit of a bad run.

I think as fans, maybe the vibe was... uncertainty.

You know, getting some shocking results.

Yeah, there was a moment of doubt and fear.

Real doubt because I thought we played so well

and were dominating more or less every game.

Teams then were going on runs behind us and catching us up.

It certainly affected us.

We'd seen in the season before

how you can go from effectively looking invincible.

And you could see how quickly that can change.

I would say... I would go so far as saying it was a toxic atmosphere.

We had a 12-point gap, it was coming down slowly, slowly

and then it was in within two points.

And then we went into that Forest game and...

Forest come with Ameobi finding space into the penalty area,

low drive from Ameobi!

And as simple as that, Leeds United find themselves behind.

I don't think we've scored the first goal in a game

in a very long time now. It changes the game if you get that.

So yeah, the first goal killed us.

I was as frustrated as...

the I-don't-know-how-many-thousands we had in the stands

and the people at home.

I was frustrated like them, so said what was on my mind.

I didn't try and sugarcoat anything.

We are not really making any clear-cut chances for ourselves,

so, yeah, it was quite clear to see

that's a problem at the minute.

I was just frustrated at the time with the game.

Frustrated with the result

frustrated with the lead that we have lost.

Yeah, it came out in that interview.

The gaffer took us into a meeting after the Forest game

and he showed us all the stats, he showed us the game against Forest,

and showed us what we did well

and there were so many positives that we were still doing.

It was just we were letting in goals at crucial times

or silly goals on our behalf.

That meeting, it was a meeting where everybody...

kind of sat back and just listened to him

and it was, like, "Yeah, we're still a good team."

Leeds, Leeds are falling apart

The media outside wrote us off,

"Same old Leeds," you know, "Falling apart,"

and then I think we went out there that Brentford game

and showed everybody what we were about.

It's Harrison who takes it, in it goes,

Raya has missed it, chance for Liam Cooper,

- Yeah! - Yes!

Leeds United equalize

and it's Liam Cooper's first goal of the season!

And what a time to get it.

One very, very important moment.

I think we sent a message.

Last season, we got into a little bit of a rut

at the end of the season

and I think we found it hard to get out of it.

But this year we hit a run, five games in a row,

five clean sheets, built up a little gap again.

Harrison picks up far side of the penalty area,

tees it up for Dallas. Dallas drives, blocked again.

It comes back out for Klich. Klich drives forward, comes out to Ayling!

Oh, yes, Luke Ayling, he finishes it off!

Shot after shot after shot.

Harrison on the left side, up towards the edge of the penalty area now,

loads in the box to aim at, the ball breaks to Ayling.

Oh, what a finish from Luke Ayling!

He's even got the ponytail out!

Luke Ayling had an amazing goal and they were just flying.

It just started clicking.

Luke, what a great win, what a great goal?

I scored exactly the same goal in training, yesterday.

Yeah, it just come across and I thought, "Sod it, I'm going to smash it,"

Yeah, it was a nice goal,

but the most important thing is three points.

We started coming back again, got them wins.

And you look at the teams around us,

West Brom were starting to slip, Fulham were starting to slip,

maybe it is about timing.

It's about timing and this is really coming to fruition here.

Here it is, here's the proof, you know?

If we can carry this on into the next few months,

then we can just relax a little bit.

We're getting promoted automatically, no matter what.

Good evening.

The coronavirus is the biggest threat this country has faced for decades

and this country is not alone.

All over the world,

we're seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer.
