Leeds United certainly made a mug out of me upon my declaration that they should win at Southampton after four Saints defeats on the spin, writes DAVID PRUTTON.
The pressure wasn't necessarily mounting on Southampton boss Russell Martin but they weren't exactly covering themselves in glory. They have had a very porous defence and I thought Leeds would have a pretty good go at them. But barring the little ray of light with Pascal Struijk's goal in the second half, I thought that Southampton were good value for their 3-1 victory in last weekend's clash at St Mary's. Sometimes you can have these anomalous results and performances.
But there are also teams without perhaps that same level of expectation such as Preston who are up there and Sunderland who got into the playoffs last season. They are still a very young team but a very attractive team in what they are doing. It also won't be lost on Leeds that there is Carlos Corberan at West Brom doing better again. They were struggling but they have got a very, very good squad. There's no hiding place. Ipswich are on 25 points and you look back to Leeds on 16.
