I started with @TheAthleticFC as their Leeds United writer this week. Grateful for the opportunity and excited to dig deeper into this club. This, of course, is why I joined. #lufc nytimes.com/athletic/60440…

🔴 Jobe 🦁 Esse 🦉 Charles ➕ ...and plenty more talent in the EFL worth keeping an eye on - this window and beyond. Here are ten of the brightest to put on your radar this month @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/60059…

You'll still find me at The Athletic, just in an exciting new role - more on that at some point soon. Thanks if you've stuck with us during a bit of a transition period in our Leeds coverage... and see you down the line at a stadium near you #LUFC (2/2)

Any news? Well yes, actually - Saturday was my last game covering #LUFC full time for The Athletic. It's been short and sweet but a really entertaining period to cover a great (and often mad) club (1/2)

Daniel Farke watched Leeds throw away a win with a late capitulation at Hull. They have been warned. This kind of sloppiness can cost a team promotion. 📝 @nancyfroston

FT: Hull 3-3 #LUFC Leeds did well to get themselves ahead, then threw it away. So preventable from the position they were in

Solomon with a curling shot from the edge of the box into Pandur's hands '94 3-3 #LUFC

Puerta with a surging run into the box, goes down and wants a penalty but the referee says no '92 3-3 #LUFC

Kamara follows up with a low strike from the edge of the box after a corner. Four minutes added on and some Leeds subs - Guilavogui and Joseph on, Rothwell and Piroe off '91 3-3 #LUFC

Goal Hull - Kamara #LUFC

Chance! James through on goal, tries to lob Pandur but the Hull 'keeper heads his shot away. That's got to have hurt when it's this cold. Hull with another free kick they're going to launch into the area '85 2-3 #LUFC

Hull free kick, they'll send this into the area '83 2-3 #LUFC

Meslier presents that to Pedro as he dealt with a looping header and Hull are back in this one with ten mins left '82 2-3 #LUFC

Goal Hull - Pedro #LUFC

Vintage Piroe. Hull give the ball away, Piroe picks it up and with a touch out of his feet, sticks it in to the far corner. It's been hard work at times but Leeds cruising now '73 1-3 #LUFC
