Vital Leeds United contributor King Billy has stepped in to do the final away day fans view of the season from the game at Birmingham City.

Leeds completed the double over Birmingham with a 3-1 win at St Andrews as fans in fancy dress enjoyed the final away game of the season.

Butland 6
He had little to do throughout the game and he stood little chance with the goal.

Wootton 5
Not my cup of tea. He never fills me with confidence and he is from the kick it anywhere brigade.

Lees 6
He did well with Pearce in the centre to keep Zigic quiet.

Pearce 6
He was the main man on Zigic and he handled the big striker well. He clouted him just before the break and that seemed to send Zigic running for cover.

Pugh 7
A solid game from Pugh who had an assist and a goal. He hasn`t let us down when he has come into the side this season but we still need better next season so I hope he doesn`t get a new deal in the summer.

Murphy 5
He struggled to get into the game and his withdrawal and the introduction of Mowatt was the big game changer for me.

Austin 6
Austin the winger!! He was played out wide on the right and he made quite a few marauding runs.

Brown 6
Usual performance from Brown and he also made quite a few breaks from midfield and he came close to scoring in the second half.

Tonge 6
He struggled to get into the game but once Mowatt came on, we looked a different side in midfield with us keeping the ball and actually passing it to feet.

McCormack 6
He set up the third goal. I expected him to smash it at goal but instead tried to find Smith but the defender finished it well for an own goal. Looks like he will now miss 30-goals.

Smith 6
Glad he was back in the starting line-up and a good headed finish. If we can bring in some quality out wide who can deliver a good ball, I can see him getting 20 goals next season. He has got a lot of stick this season but 13-goals in your first season isn`t a bad return when he has had to live off poor quality balls for most of it.

Subs

Mowatt 7 Man of the Match

I think his introduction was the big game changer. We struggled to get the ball down and play any sort of football but as soon as he came on, we looked like a different side.

He looked in a lot of pain when he was carried off. I hope it is not long-term as he could be important next season.

Hunt 5
He comes on and tries but he never looks like scoring.

White
He was brought on for the final few minutes as we ran down the clock.

Summary
Not a great game but another three points. I think it is only a matter of time before McDermott is put out of his misery. He looked a dejected man walking off and this after a 3-1 win. Does he know something we don`t?

One game to go. Having broken our hoodoo at Barnsley and Birmingham could we put one over Derby or is that asking too much?
