The Whites Enter the Lion's Den
In many ways, the season starts today for my beloved Leeds United. Now that the transfer window has ended and the international break has come and gone, Daniel Farke can see what he has to work with. Today's match away to Millwall couldn't be a sterner test. We don't like playing in the capital and there is a lot of history, going back to the Right Said Fred riots of the 90s. It should be fascinating. Come on, you Whites! #MOT!

We're all set for the start now in South London. Come on, you Whites!
Millwall get an early corner. Mark 'em up!
Really under the cosh from the off here.
A bit of confusion at the back and Millwall have another corner. Mark 'em up!
Great to have Sam Byram back; he's been one of out standouts so far this season.
MOT!
Oh my! Meslier made complete hash of that and it had to be hacked off the line by Struijk. The whistle came belatedly.
First chance to get Willy going.
Rutter wins a corner now. Pascal on the end of it. He's out top scorer right now.
Willy earns a free kick now. Let's make the most of it!
Just starting to get into our game now.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
What a brilliant goal on the break!
It all stemmed from a tackle by Bill in the box. The Lions wanted a penalty for handball but it broke to Rutter who spread to Willy. Quick interchanges between the four front men and Joel Piroe finishing with precision.
0-1 Whites!
That's the first time we've scored first this season.
Ampadu wins us another corner now. Come on!
Pascal concedes a corner needlessly.
Oh - Cry on the run tried to chip the keeper. Not to far away.
Millwall have come back into it in the last five minutes. Corner to them now.
Oh - Longman had a drive that Meslier had to turn away.
We appear to be trying to do what a number of sides have done to us this season: play it safe and then hit on the break.
Joe Rodon has a problem now - down receiving treatment.
Rodon is up but being checked for concussion.
Coming to the end of this first half now. It's all gone a bit quiet.
Five minutes o stoppage time to come.
Sam Byram wins us a corner late in the half. Come on - let's make the most of it!
The half-time whistle comes and I'm more than pleased. We've contained the Millwall attack with composure and took the chance that came.
0-1
Yes! Piroe again for #2!
