Leeds United - v - Nottingham Forest ***Matchday Thread***

[WTF11]

Ref again, was Yates in control.of the ball? No. So a shoulder charge is legitimate, but not apparently for this ref!!!!

[WTF11]

Excellent three points and some real positives;

Goals continuing to come from a variety of sources

Really incisive passing both in attack and defence

Darlow impressive even when faced with little to do for large parts of the game

DLC starts and finishes, hopefully showing fitness levels we all hoped for

Aaronsson us a player reborn, he may still be vulnerable physically but he us developing playing behaviours that compensate for his stature

Gudmonsson, what a player!

Word of caution, watch when they scored. It was easy, and it can't be.

Superb win, we’ll done all, a Burnley win tomorrow would be good.

[Orgoner]

We were pretty poor for the last 15 minutes but got away with it.

Very good the rest of the game though.

A very important win.

[Billyni]

Darlow mom for me.

Perri, you will always be remembered for your long throws. That is all.

[Billyni]

And that's what we might have seen if Forest had genuinely turned up.

We have scored some super goals but haven't really been challenged by a team you wiuld have expected to do more.

Still delighted with the majority of performances but let's not get carried away.

We didn't allow them to turn up.
In their face every opportunity.
They didn't like it up em.
Our break up play was impressive as was picking up 50/50s.
Gruev unsung hero.

Nice to have contest for MOM. Gudmunsson, Gruev, Bogle and even Darlow

The low point was coaching. That was insane to leave them in on that pitch for 90. We have good subs and I sure they were full blast ready to go.

Err.....nonesense. We started well and were well on top for the first 15, then they came back at us and until the first goal it was very much even-stevens. From then until the break we were (unsurprisingly) on top but even then they had chances to come back at us.

Second half we dominated, and yet with a single credible attack in the entire 45 minutes they got one back.

Just saying that whilst the points are welcome and the team will be pleased, if we think we can do the same against the top 6 then are on a loser. Dogged defence and grinding results is the name of the game here on in.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

really impressed with the team here, this is an important win due to where the opposition are in the league, but coz we played well too, the 2 wing backs, gruev, 3 or 4 big saves from darlow, probably the standouts for me here, great to see dan james available again too and he did get involved a little bit too, 3 valuable points, and now 1 step closer to staying up, MOT!!!

[whitestomper45]

Great result and performance especially the first half. They looked dangerous on the break but our wing play penned them back mostly. Gruev pass for first goal reminded me of Johnny Giles in his pomp. 2 tough away games, expect the gap to close but? 10 pts from 13 games!!

[Billyni]

Nonsense he says lol 😆

[norfolk white]

Summerville not helping our cause yet again

[Billyni]

Wolves and Bumley doomed ah tell ye, doomed doomed

[WTF11]

Summerville not helping our cause yet again

And just why did we sell him?

[norfolk white]

No idea, unless he wanted to go, a very good player.
