I think we're going to see some very frustrating games at home this season with all our best performances away from Elland Road. Teams will set up like Rotherham, Preston and Boro have, sat with 11 behind the ball, looking to keep it tight. We lack that bit of pace and apart from Pablo, we don't have a player with the creativity to unlock a deep defence.
At home, opposition fans won't accept their team playing like that, especially this early in the season. So they'll push forward and open up space that we can exploit. Bielsaball challenges all the expectations of how an away team should play. Leeds turn up and camp themselves in the opposition half, pushing bodies forward. Common saying is that if you win your home games and draw away, you get promoted. Think we'll see almost the opposite.
We'll be better away from home

Every season there’s this massive hype about Leeds, and inevitably, every season they flatter to deceive.
Will it be the same this season?

I don't understand why so many people think that what happens in past seasons has any bearing on what happens now. Leeds fell away last year, they missed out on the playoffs the year before but it means absolutely nothing now. We have a different manager, some new players, only a few who have survived from 2 seasons ago. What has happened in the past is irrelevant to what will happen this season.
Wolves finished 15th the year before they won the league. Cardiff finished 12th the year before they got promoted. It's irrelevant and it's a comment from a moron who just repeats whatever they hear pundits say.

Not all teams will have the quality to set up like Boro did. Aside from Corners and long throw ins what did they actually create?
We’ll be unlocking teams, Harrison yesterday was immense at times and showed that along with Izzy we have some good options in attack.

Of all the teams to laugh at us about falling away and failure it had to be Spurs 😂
We will be back playing in Europe before you next come close to winning anything
