Didn't see the match as work is getting in the way, but snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Really think we are witnessing something special from this team for this season.

Norwich equalised

resilience is not a word that came to mind when thinking of Leeds prior to this season now they have it in spades.

Roofe has been great again this season said for a while in seasons past he as wasted playing hoof ball.

if they keep the run going should be a nice cushion to third too.

94th and 97th min goals for Norwich. Goals galore today and another great win for us. MOT

to be fair OWT weve won 7 on the bounce and a few of them won ugly, thats the mark of a promotion team, very few teams play fantasic week in week out.

Yeah I know, but I'd love a few straightforward wins, right now I'm struggling to shake the impression that we've been lucky at least 50% of the wins in these last 7, and I'm not sure luck by itself is enough to get a team promoted from this league

I find it thought provoking to consider whether we have snatched the wins due to luck or if it is because Biesla has the team in a condition that can capitalize on the last 15-20 mins of a match when the opposition are dead on their legs?

I just hope that we can build up a decent points gap to allow the squad to be rotated a bit more freely.

"The better I plan, the luckier I get". Combination of luck and spirit, something we haven't had for a long long time.

Yes absolutely, we are clearly a very fit team now, and that was definitely obvious against Villa. But yesterday I thought we looked tired in the 2nd half, and scoring those two goals in injury time was a superhuman effort, which must have taken even more out of the players. I think a couple of very calm days is what's required now, I hope Bielsa gives the players a lot of time off before Saturday's game, it's going to be a tough one against a resurgent team.
