Jeff's Gem of the Week
There were a lot of possibilities last week. Obviously Sunderland and Newcastle got great results in the Premier League and down in the Championship I thought there were fantastic results for Nottingham Forest, Birmingham and Ipswich but I'm going to plump for Leeds who won 4-2 at Charlton.
Ross McCormack scored all four goals and it was the first time Leeds had won consecutive games all season, which tells you a lot about their inconsistency, but we always said what a good job Brian McDermott did at Reading and how unfortunate he was to lose it and I think he's proving once again, with minimal resources, that he can do an exceptional job.
Credit has to be given to the board as well because Ross McCormack got all the goals and he could have moved in the summer because there were several other clubs interested in him but Leeds clung on to him and they've been buying players from the lower levels such as Matt Smith from Oldham who's doing really well.
They're scrimping and saving as there's nothing to spend and I think bearing all that in mind they're doing tremendously well.
