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

still think we need an old fashioned english manager who knows the championship though.....

What a win Norwich Losing points as well. Bring on Hull. The boys will need some kip tonight

Yes, we looked very tired at times in the 2nd half, lots of misplaced passes and poorly timed tackles, and Hull have picked up a lot in the last few weeks, we'll need to be 100% for that game.

Bloody Hell (Again). I think I scared the Bejesus out of my children and their cousins when we scored!

Unbelievable resilience and determination. Roofe and Jansson were immense. Bringing on Clarke raised the tempo and threat level again so that routine seems to be working well. BPF looked like he made a minor howler and we gave the ball away to often with tired looking square balls. Overall though - Happy Bloody Christmas !!!

Just amazing from the lads today..took real guts to do that in injury time..a super human effort!!!!!!!!

However..the need for a quality keeper still remains.

Feel like I'm in some sort of make believe scenario following these games at present! Said after the the Villa win that these things like extra time winners simply don't happen to us. And now we've scored twice in added time! WTF!...haha. Sadly, Norwich did the same thing concurrently.. which makes it even more unbelievable!
And Hull will be a good test now that they have put a couple of straight wins together.

Not quite right. Scored Three times in added time in the last 2 matches. Today Leeds scored twice in added time. Very reminiscent of "Fergie time".

Don't want to be a spoil-sport but no team is going to get promoted winning games in injury time consistently. If we keep failing to turn our superiority into goals then we're going to start dropping points. Yes of course it's fantastic to win games like this, but I'd rather be winning comfortably e.g 2-0 at home to Wigan, or 4-0 at Rotherham, than scoring the winner in injury time.

Bielsa will of course know this, and I'm sure will be trying to improve our finishing in the final 3rd, but just taking today's stats: possession 79-21 in our favour, shots on goal 24-8, and on target 10-2, we've got to start turning all that dominance into comfortable wins, or we clearly run the risk of losing games we should be winning, and given there are plenty of teams still close enough to take advantage, that's not something we'll get away with. To not achieve automatic now would be pretty gutting, but if we don't start turning our dominance into straightforward wins then there's every chance that'll happen.

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.
