On reflection I feel that we were lucky to end that game with a point in the bag.
I didn't expect the same intensity as Monday night where we fired on all cylinders. This was far too passive to create a win, but credit to Palace they did a very good job in their defensive duties as well as attack.
You can't really complain with the substitutions, Aaronson, and James don't have that effect in my opinion, Wilson was injured and Bohoya is not ready but great that he got a sniff of a intro to Elland rd.
We will see more of this young lad that I am sure of.
Overall it's a great start to the season and this Leeds fan is a happy bunny, there will be some disgruntled Leeds fans that will expect more but i'm in no doubt we have kick started our season in a very positive manner.

Bahoya not ready? How do you know this?
Agreed it's been a very good start to the season. Just wish we got another CM and CF in.

He did more in his 2 minute cameo than others did all game!

I don't know that he's not ready Cork but I do trust the coaching staff in making the right decisions, they seem to be getting things on track which no Leeds fan can deny.
As I've said some of us fans will demand more, whether that is feasible ie: more signings that is anyone's guess as we will never know.
I don't personally get the instant success effect without putting in the work time to perhaps realistically deserve a very elevated position in the league.
I think any non Leeds fan would think we are doing very well considering this is only our second season in the Premiership.
I do find there is a certain amount of entitlement that does come from some Leeds fans and thats their choice.
I'm still very confident barring a lot of injuries we are still going to surprise a lot of people this season, there could be an opportunity of scrapping a European spot but for me that's not the objective for this season.

You're right Canada. He took a throw in to a Leeds player, got fouled with a booking for the defender on his first run down the wing and went past two Palace players in midfield with his next touch if the ball.
He's an unknown quantity but given the state of the game Farke was happy to send him on rather than more defensive options. Hopefully he'll be given a chance because he's bloody quick and defenders hate pace.

I think we are all Leeds fan and don't expect to win every game ever the best teams who spend millions can get turned over like Arsenal did but they turned up and played we turned up and didn't no shot on goal for over 57 minutes at a home is just crazy however we didn't lose Farkey wasn't happy I do expect to see a team fight we didn't you can disagree but that's my opinion.

Was actually encouraged by the bahoya cameo. Farke does rate him enough to try him for 2 minutes in a meaningful game vs. 5 minutes at 4-1 up.
He tried a through ball that was closer to coming off than a lot I saw in the second half. Keep the faith. If he doesn't go with France U21s he gets more time learning the system.
Didn't enjoy Dan James performance. Very little I thought from him.
