- Three things everyone has changed their mind on at Leeds United, late signing included
Leeds United have certainly made a positive impression this season.
The Elland Road faithful were expecting a step up after such an excellent summer window.
Last campaign ended well with changes made to the tactical approach making a telling difference.

That has only fueled the positivity in LS11, especially with Tarik Muharemovic and James Trafford coming in.
Everything was summed up by the 4-1 win against Newcastle United as the Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor made their presence felt again.
Their form hasn't necessarily been a surprise, but certain factors have caught many off guard at Leeds.
James Justin and Jayden Bogle picking up where they left off
There was a concern last season with the change in formation that the Whites wouldn't have the defensive options required.
Anyone with that opinion has certainly been proven wrong, with James Justin and Jayden Bogle the case study for that.

They both had questions over their heads after being drafted in.
Performances last season were excellent, but there was fear that they couldn't be able to continue that into the new campaign.
They have done exactly that in a move that has arguably caught everyone by surprise.
Many expected their levels to drop somewhat, but that certainly hasn't been the case.
Why Jean-Matteo Bahoya may already doubt Leeds United decision after Newcastle win Harry Wilson's struggles at Elland Road
There was a major buzz at Elland Road when Harry Wilson sealed a free transfer from Fulham.
The Wales international was coming off the season of his career and was ready to replicate that in LS11.

It has been a surprise to see the 29-year-old fail to reach the expectations that surrounded him.
Wilson has featured just six times and is yet to score a goal for Leeds.
Why isn't it working out? No one is quite sure.
It seems that fitness and injury has played a part, but it is something that has to change sooner rather than later.
Are Leeds United wasting Jean-Matteo Bahoya?
In a similar vein to the above signing, the Leeds faithful were happy to see Jean-Matteo Bahoya come through the door.
His late addition was a surprise as a loan move with Eintracht Frankfurt had looked difficult to arrange.

The Whites managed it and the 21-year-old made his way to Yorkshire.
The Frenchman has since managed just one minute of Premier League action having sat on the bench three times.
There was an expectation that he would come in and make an immediate difference with his blistering pace.
Instead, he hasn't been given a chance and has taken everyone by surprise by the lack of chances.
