FULHAM: ANGUS KINNEAR ONLINE PROGRAMME NOTES - Leedsunited.com 23/10/22


Good afternoon and another warm welcome to another sold-out Elland Road.

After one of our best Premier League performances since promotion failed to yield at least the minimum point we deserved, we travelled to the King Power Stadium with the squad having renewed confidence and belief in both the collective system and their individual ability to compete with the best. This made the display at the King Power even more disappointing. The result understandably left the travelling support with the feeling we had taken one step forward, followed quickly by two steps back, and everyone at the club is big enough to take the criticism when it is justified.

Whilst the overall trajectory during our custodianship has been upward, there have been many short term ‘ups and downs’ and we should remember that the false dawns and depressing defeats have been outnumbered by redeeming performances and inspiring victories.  Whilst nobody can hide from the fact that our winless run is certainly troubling, there have been enough moments of quality from a team whose commitment can never be doubted.  We should all have confidence we can correct the course of the season before the World Cup break and then return in December to build on a firm foundation.

As always, the outside world will take particular delight in revelling in our travails and, as always, the key to our success will be that supporters and team remain united.

Today we mark LGBTQ+ Premier League Day of Action by supporting the Stonewall Rainbow Laces campaign, with many players and staff wearing Rainbow Laces in a show of solidarity. I am especially proud that, through our collaboration with relentlessly passionate supporters group Marching Out Together, that we have not only made Elland Road welcoming to all fans who love our club, but we have also become a positive voice in the wider Leeds community. This is a wonderful reminder of the impact football can have beyond the pitch.  However, for the next 90 minutes what happens across the white line is all that matters so please give the team the world-class support that only Elland Road can deliver.

Marching on Together
