Joel Piroe helped fire Leeds United to the boost of back to back wins before a personal admission as the striker voiced Whites opposition doubt.
Just three days after Wednesday night’s 1-0 win at home to Queens Park Rangers, goals from Piroe and Dan James sealed a 2-1 victory against Saturday’s Championship visitors Bristol City which left the Whites fifth heading into the international break. James converted a Georginio Rutter cross to put Leeds ahead in the 37th minute only for Bristol City to equalise in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time through a Kal Naismith header from a corner.
Leeds had 21 attempts at goal during the contest, eight of which were on target compared to Bristol City’s eight efforts of which only two were directed between the posts. Expressing doubts over whether Bristol City would have had the power to come back from 2-0 or 3-0 down, Piroe told LUTV: “I think I could have scored more and made it a little bit easier for ourselves as well. But I am always happy to be on the scoresheet.
