Very pleased Leeds are back. There, I've said it

They play great football, they'll do much better than we did (I think they'll finish top half), and their performance today was considerably better than ours a year ago too.

But they're not our competition. They're a much bigger club than us and always will be - so why people are comparing us to them (and deluding themselves in the process), I've no idea. Danny Mills is trolling the hell out of this board... and getting dozens of bites all the time. Fair play to him, frankly.

As for us: great to win, great to keep a clean sheet, and I fancy us to go up. Not with massive confidence - but the Championship looks like utter s**t this season, and we've got more than enough class to ease our way back out of it again.

Who are our natural competition in terms of size, by the way? Clubs like Forest, Derby, Sheffield Wednesday, West Brom, Southampton at a push. West Ham are quite a lot bigger than us but are in a major mess: both short and longer term. We can maybe target doing better than them eventually; but Leeds' horizons are higher. Good luck to them.
