In the 11th minute, as Leeds United prepared for a corner, Ethan Ampadu took his opportunity to

come back to the halfway line and speak with Illan Meslier.

The visitors had been struggling with

their building out from the back in the opening 10 minutes, so it was perhaps a summit on where

the Frenchman could have been doing better.

Farke gets into the front three

In the 40th minute, while Joe Rodon was receiving treatment for a head injury, Daniel Farke took

his chance to get a message into three of the front four. Joel Piroe, Crysencio Summerville and

Georginio Rutter were all given an earful by the manager with a few pointers on what they weren’t

doing right.

Meslier’s half-time routine

It’s hard to recall a time Meslier came out several minutes before anyone else for the start of a

second half. Ed Wootten, the club’s goalkeeping coach, was out with Meslier and putting him

through some drills a long time before any of the other players came out for the restart.

Traded chants

This has always been one of those trips where you expect to see some needle. Millwall at least try to make it a hostile environment for away teams and the Whites faithful rise to the occasion.

On Sunday, there were endless chants traded throughout the afternoon. From the moment he stepped off the bus, Luke Ayling seemed to be enjoying the heat coming from the home support.

Comments about his hair upon his arrival were followed by one especially pointed chant in the second half that called him a four-letter word you can imagine. Leeds would, of course, have the last laugh though.

Farke grows his supporter bond

Championship followers may recall Farke’s post-match routine at Norwich City as they romped to two second-tier titles across three seasons a few years ago. After a win, the German would go to away support, shake his hands low, watch the noise build and then throw his arms in the air three times, getting three cheers back.

It’s not a routine he had adopted at Leeds until today. Farke went over to the travelling support, followed the same pattern and put a neat finish on a very satisfying day out for all concerned. It’s a bond he knows he has to cultivate through this long, arduous season.
