The second of two games in one day to finish another season of football…

A couple of short train trips to Derby followed the final whistle at Villa Park, for the first leg of the other Championship Play-Off…

Not a great game to finish, Leeds taking a lead back to Elland Road following a second half goal from Kemar Roofe…

Not much for the home fans to cheer, in fact Derby didn’t even manage a shot on target. Hopes were raised when the referee awarded them a penalty late on, but the decision was overturned after a consultation with his assistant…

The battle of the reserves eventually ended in a comfortable win for Leicester. But not before an early scare…

A pretty decent game, played out in front of a full house including (as per usual) a large and noisy Leeds contingent. And from my perspective it was also an unexpected opportunity to see Vurnon Anita in action for his new club…

I still don’t get the clappers and the goal music…

A strange sort of game…

Birmingham outplayed Leeds for the hour prior to Craig Gardner’s equaliser, 27 shots to 10 across the piece tells a story…
