James’ goal in Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Millwall lifted Leeds over Leicester on goal differential.
Leeds is leading for the first time this season, although previous winners Leicester, who played in the FA Cup on Sunday, have a match coming up.
“It’s nice to be top, but it doesn’t mean anything,” James replied.
The Wales international spoke on BBC Radio Leeds: “We’re incredibly excited about our eight big games when we return.
“Today was all about can we get another win and it’s another massive one.”

Willy Gornto and James’ goals gave Leeds the advantage over Leicester heading into the international break. The Yorkshire club needed to defeat the Lions by two goals to move up to the top of the Championship.
In 2024, Daniel Farce’s team has won 13 and drawn 1 of their 14 league games, eliminating Leicester’s 17-point lead.
Daniel Farce thanks the Elland Road audience.
This season, Daniel Farce’s Leeds United club has won 19 of its 19 Championship games at Elland Road. “We have to make sure we stay on it,” Farce said.
Before they play again against Watford on March 29 at 20:00 GMT, the German wants everyone to enjoy the run that has put them at the top.
However, promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt is far from assured for Leeds, with Southampton in fourth place having two games in hand despite a nine-point deficit and Ipswich trailing them by just one point in third.
Farce stated, “We have to take a little pleasure in it.” “One day you’ll wonder why you’re putting in so much effort if you don’t enjoy this time now.
“However, we must ensure that we adhere to it.
“Where you stand after 38 games doesn’t matter. Although we should be happy with our performance after 46 games, we still want to be in a strong position.
“For that, we have to win many, many points.”
