Neil Warnock loves Leeds


By Ian Mitchelmore


The Bluebirds have managed seven goals against Thomas Christiansen's side this season and have arguably produced their two best league performances of the campaign against the Whites.

And following last season's 2-0 success at Elland Road, Warnock boasts a flawless record of three wins out of three in his clashes with the Whites since he took charge of Cardiff just under a year-and-a-half ago.

But Warnock's impressive record against his former employers goes back even before he moved to South Wales.

His Rotherham side beat Leeds 2-1 at the New York Stadium in April 2016, with current Bluebird Greg Halford netting a last-minute winner from the penalty spot for the Millers.

And just five months earlier, his Queens Park Rangers side earned a 1-0 victory against the Whites at Loftus Road courtesy of Charlie Austin's 58th minute effort.



It means the Yorkshireman boasts a 100% winning record in his five games against Leeds since he departed Elland Road in April 2013.

But it was the most recent of those five wins - a display that Warnock described as "one of the most complete performances" since he arrived in the Welsh capital - that really sent out a statement to the rest of the Championship.

Seem to remember he took a few when he was at Pompey and normally quite reliable.

Can’t complain about Ralls’ penalty record, think he just missed one in the match where he took two penalties.

You're right about Ralls' record which is pretty good. The one he missed was a really poor penalty but even Matthew Le Tissier missed one in his career!
