Leeds' unbeaten run comes to an end but through no fault of Illan Meslier's, who had ice in his veins once again this afternoon. A bitesize verdict on Leeds' first defeat of the season here from YEP reporter Joe Donnohue down in Brighton.

Brighton 1-0 Leeds United: Bitesize match reaction

The Inside Elland Road podcast from the Yorkshire Evening Post team covering Leeds United Football Club in 2023/24.

Sports

Four goals, a testimonial finish, hearts in mouths, teenage excellence, Game of Thrones backroom staff, one of the loudest stadiums known to man - Leeds United, in all forms, played its part on Thursday night as the Whites booked their place at Wembley in the play-off final. Listen to Graham and Joe's morning-after-the-night-before appraisal. Share and subscribe now.

Leeds United are going to Wembley

It's the play-offs. And Leeds will be without Patrick Bamford for the semis, at least. Fear not, Graham has posted a new personal best 5k time and is available on a short-term contract. This week on the Inside Elland Road pod: a golden bullet, hiding in the music department, popping hernias, a trenchcoat on the right wing and plenty more to distract ourselves from the possible impending doom of play-off football.

Trigger Warning

Automatics are gone, but not quite. It's the play-offs, but not yet. Leeds' capitulation at QPR was disappointing and frustrating, Patrick Bamford was conspicuous by his absence and may not be fit for this weekend in the regular season finale against Southampton. Joe and Graham discuss last Friday night, bruises, band wars, final day chaos and more.

He who laughs last

We've just about calmed down from Monday night at the Riverside in what was an enthralling, nerve-jangling watch as Leeds won 4-3 against Middlesbrough. Graham and Joe discuss the game, getting back to winning ways, Crysencio Summerville's main character energy, the Georginio debate and Willy Gnonto's potty mouth whilst looking ahead to Friday at QPR.

Effing-vescent

Leeds are wobbling as we enter the crunch period of the season. Play-offs are a realistic possibility, much to the dismay of journalists who had prematurely planned to spend the month of May luxuriating. This week on the Inside Elland Road pod: Stuart Dallas' farewell but not goodbye, the promotion picture, Boro next, EFL Awards night and plenty more. Listen, share and subscribe now.
