I watched it rain right into Burnley’s Barnfield Construction Stand where the Leeds fans were standing on Monday night, as if that bone-chilling spot up on the Pennines was determined to do its damnedest. They lingered there, drenched through, to deliver a last ovation to a team who wandered over at the end and who look for all the world like they’re going back up as champions.
I watched those Leeds fans heading away into the night, fortified and sustained by Jayden Bogle, the summer signing from Sheffield United, imposing himself down the right, socks around his calves.
