“Listen Leeds (got) back to winning ways against QPR after that kind of aberration at Millwall," he told host Simeon Gholam. "Swansea and Luke, again we spoke about Bristol City doing relatively well, Swansea find themselves 11th.

Gholam also read out the positive thoughts of Leeds supporter named 'Leeds fan that wrote in. He said: '"Leeds are playing brilliant football recently, except for our slip-up at Millwall, and Swansea aren't. We should beat them fairly well with a comfortable 2-0 win."
