Preston holding in there, but lots of yellows for them. They can't deal with Leeds' directness and pace.

Can only see this ending with a Leeds win, which was expected.

Still this.

[Jimmy_D]

This Leeds game lets you appreciate just how good Saints are in retaining possession at the moment.

[Jimmy_D]

Admittedly Saints haven’t had to play in conditions quite like this in most games… 

[fanimal]

Proper feisty northern clogging game yellow cards like confetti 

[hypochondriac]

Leeds could win this but I really don't think they are as good as we are at the moment. 

[HKsaint]

Ings starts with JWP

Agreed, think they will win still but they're not playing as well as we are.

[trousers]

It's all kicking off. Sadly, a late goal here for Leeds is inevitable...

[Block41 Saint]

Referee definitely going to crumble with this crowd if a Leeds player goes down inside the box.

He just avoided doing just that

Into 6 minutes of added time

This has got 2-1 written all over it

Lucky and dirty Leeds

[trousers]

And there it is... Penalty to Leeds

[Saint_clark]

Fuck sake Preston.

[Jimmy_D]

Utterly pathetic.

2-1 Piroe...

[SaintBobby]

Bollocks 2-1

[trousers]

Never any doubt unfortunately #inevitable 

[Micky]

We have to go there and win, its the only way. 

[sfc4prem]

Those fixtures for Leeds will give them three wins, I'm sure, and put them above us before we next play.

 

It is in our own hands, though, and we are pretty great.

[Colinjb]

That's annoying. But seeing how they play, I do not fear a trip to Elland Road.

[Jack]

Spawny twats

[obelisk]

Wonder if that penalty gets given up the other end but it looked like handball to me.

[Harry_SFC]

Tbh Leeds deserved to win that. Preston are a poor side and anything other than a Leeds win would've been an unexpected bonus. 

[S-Clarke]

Surprised it took as long as it did, Preston did not deserve anything from that. Horrific side.

[Tauro]

Is what it is. They still need to win two games more than us to go above us. 

 

We would smash them both.

[obelisk]

It'll be very satisfying to win promotion at Elland Rd.

Unfortunately a horrifc side that we failed to beat.

[Jimmy_D]

They’ll have to play far better than that to stop us tearing them apart when we go there.

Hope that we have a strong ref when we go there. Their fans are total neanderthals and will intimidate a weak ref.

We drew at Deepdale. Leeds lost.

Wish ours were a bit more like that inside St Mary’s 

[goodymatt]

Eurgh, with 3 mins to go of added time you start to think a decent result might be coming. Leeds are going to be like WHU were last time we were down here. Pushing us right to the end.

Really, when was the last time we tore a team to pieces away from home?

Yesterday in the first half?

Don't think many have ever been torn apart consistently for a whole game?

Ok, by result?

[Sir Ralph]

Leeds didn’t look near our level regardless of result

We still didn't beat them.

Have to admit I’m surprised JWP hasn’t scored a free kick to match Beckham’s record yet this season.

Probably saving himself for next season when the prodigal son returns triumphantly to Saints after our glorious promotion as winners of the Championship...

(And the answer to your next question is... Camden Town Stout... ) 

[saintant]

McAtee looking quality for Sheff Utd. Would love him in our squad.

[Baird of the land]

JWP on penalties for West Ham now

[OttawaSaint]

All Saints goal for WHU.

Ings fouled for penalty.

JWP blasts it home. 

[S-Clarke]

Still weird seeing JWP celebrate goals for someone else.

Sheffield United's lack of any quality coming to the fore today, they haven't played bad, they just have no ability up front. When you're relying on McBurnie then you know it's game over.

[Jimmy_D]

That certainly didn’t look too clever.

Ouch.

[OttawaSaint]

Disgusting challenge. Deserved red!

[OttawaSaint]

Oh 😂 penalty for SHU!
