Another defeat as wasteful Leeds again fail to make possession count

This was a game we shouldn’t have lost, but we let ourselves down at both ends of the field, to allow Burnley to take all three points.

As expected there was a substantial police presence in the town centre, but the only man I saw coming close to being arrested was one of the local drunks. Amidst all the excitement, a horse passed comment on the quality of Burnley’s high street by taking a dump on it.

Inside the ground the Leeds fans were keen to taunt the hosts with the chant “champions again”, to remind the hosts that we pipped them to the Championship title last season. And for much of the game we were to give the match most of it’s atmosphere, as ever.

And as the players took the anti-racism knee before kick-off I wondered why some fans were booing, but it turned out that it was down to Calvert-Lewin declining to perform this gesture, though surely as a man of mixed race he’s entitled to make that decision.
