Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear has revealed that they have asked for 17 separate incidents to be reviewed from the 3-2 victory against Millwall.

The Whites are confident that they provide the most in-depth post-match feedback on officials, with the assessors set to review each problem brought to light from the clash at Elland Road.

Darren England made a number of mistakes in the game, and both Victor Orta and James Mooney made that clear at half-time. Both have since been charged by the FA, with the duo accepting that.

Kinnear revealed in his programme notes on Saturday that Leeds are concerned by officials that simply don't pay enough attention to simple decisions, something he believes has cost the Whites over 10 points this season.

"I am confident that Leeds United provide the most comprehensive post-match feedback of any Championship club," he wrote, via the Yorkshire Evening Post.

"Our report on the Millwall game highlighted 17 separate decisions that we felt were worthy of review and, to the credit of the assessors, they will review the video of each decision and provide a perspective in return."

Leeds managed to pick up the points against Millwall, but it may have been one of the worst officiating displays we've seen this season.

We were at the game and England allowed Bartosz Bialkowski to get away with consistent timewasting. He also gave the Pole a goal kick after he made a clear save from a Stuart Dallas shot. If that wasn't enough, his linesman failed to spot the ball clearly go out before the away side earned their penalty.

To go back through the season, the penalty against Fulham joined with the double handball before Nahki Wells' winner at QPR - Leeds have had their fair share of terrible decisions.

If those and the dreadful call to send off Gaetano Berardi at Millwall were rescinded or didn't happen, Leeds could have been out of sight in the Championship by now.
