The victory in Berkshire means Scott Parker's men are the first Championship side since Brighton in 2015/16 to remain unbeaten through their first 15 games.

He has a contract, he is part of the squad and we are not going to shoot ourselves in the foot by not using him. But instead of reviving a squad that had been out-performing expectations for three years, Leeds stood still.
