Leeds United’s win against Bristol City only highlighted their frustration against Reading a week earlier.
Leeds United gave Bristol City a footballing lesson on Saturday as they eased to a 3-0 victory at Ashton Gate.
The victory was everything fans wanted, attacking football, the inclusion of young talent Ronaldo Vieira, and solid defending.
None of this was evident a week earlier in the loss to Reading, which appears to have acted as a wake-up call.
The really frustrating element for Leeds supporters came from the fact this wake-up call did not occur earlier.
The loss to Reading was a home game which followed up tough away losses to Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday, and only this past weekend did Leeds finally jolt their season back into life.
While Leeds were demolishing Bristol City on Saturday, the previous week’s victors Reading lurched to a defeat.
Reading have been poor all season and lost 2-1 to Sheffield United. Jaap Stam’s team sit in 20th place, having won just three games from 12.
The game at Elland Road is one Leeds will wish they could do-over this weekend, now they have got their confidence back.
Leeds have finally bounced back from their mini-slump, but next time they will have to start finding solutions to their problems more quickly.
