A one-man rearguard from James Trafford
There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Match31 Oct 2026
Leeds United taken apart
1‑4 to Manchester City, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Anton Stach raises the bar for Leeds United
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Leeds United heard it as anything else.
The dugout2 Nov 2026
No hiding place for Anton Stach
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Anton Stach, and the manager let it.
Squad2 Nov 2026
Appearance number 200 for Jayden Bogle
200 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Harry Wilson faces his old club
Bournemouth next, and one man in the Leeds United dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
