Salop fans saw a different aspect to their team on Wednesday night in Yorkshire as they went toe-to-toe with Championship promotion hopefuls Leeds United.

Most would have expected Town to sit back and try to stymie a team recently relegated from the Premier League, but they did the opposite, playing with real energy to great effect.

Salop ran out of steam in the second period, but the blueprint of high-intensity pressing was there for all to see.
