Ross Heppenstall was at Elland Road. Here’s his report. Thanks for reading this MBM.

Daniel Farke’s turn to speak to Sky. “I’m a happy man tonight … four points from three matches … a really competitive game … two games here at home, four points, two clean sheets … this is how you need to approach a season as a newly promoted side … difficult to beat … a tight game … we had bigger chances … rock solid … we need to do a bit more in the offence … I’m pretty happy today … we made it difficult for Newcastle … this is a side who plays at Champions League level … I’m pretty happy with the point … happy with the clean sheet … don’t want to be too critical that we didn’t score a goal today … we are happy with the start but we don’t lean back, we keep the foot on the gas … keep going.”

As for the last couple of days of the transfer frenzy … “We would need to add some more quality up front … be good to have some options … we need to stay awake until the last hour of this window.”
