Leeds United eased to a 3-0 win against Brighton at the Withdean Stadium, ending the home side’s mini revival under Gus Poyet.

Leeds looked refreshed after the international break, outclassing Brigthton in every department. It was a complete performance and this side shows no sign of letting up under Simon Grayson – the players attitude is first class. They work even harder without the ball than they do with it, the team spirit and will to win is clear for all to see.

I really can’t see anyone in this league catching us. We won yesterday’s game with incredible ease, even without half a dozen first team regulars.

A new Leeds on the up

The game had all the hallmarks of a typical bad day at the office for Leeds teams of the past. Awful conditions and stadium, a team on the rise under a new boss, with injuries meaning yet more changes to the team.

But not this side under Grayson. The guys who come in are all top class players at this level and are determined to cement a place in the team. The team ethic means there is no sulking on the sidelines, just motivation to take their chance when they are called upon.

We have a formidable defence, the best in the country at the moment. Grayson has a wealth of defensive talent at his disposal and it doesn’t seem to matter who he puts at the back now, a clean sheet is almost inevitable.

Going forward we have players capable of pulling a goal out of nowhere. It was Robert Snodgrass’ turn yesterday but we have seen Jonny Howson and Neil Kilkenny do it recently too.

Sign him up

We really have upped our game and that is starting to show in the results. I was a little worried earlier in the season when we were winning games without playing well and felt the Millwall game could be a turning point in our season, one way or another. That result gave the players a kick up the backside and their intensity since then has been impressive.

Much of the credit has to go to Grayson and his backroom staff. They have installed a winning mentality and have made the team very hard to beat.

We need to do all we can to tie Grayson down for many years to come. An exciting future lies ahead under his guidance.
