Leeds United v Nottingham Forest Match Thread

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Right - now who thinks the Viv Nicholson approach to the January transfer window is worth it? Let’s be avin you.

You've been watching too many Delia Smith programmes....

Good win. Shame we conceded at the end, but 3 more points is all that matters

Your dog looks like its bed’s levitating

[White Riot]

Level on points with Palace and Spurs.

Spurs go to ManU and Palace to Brighton this weekend.

[Orange Box]

I don't think that way, it was an opportunity missed imo, irrespective how the season goes.

More a comment on forest rather than JSL.

[CUSSIE01]

Sounds like Darlow was 2nd MOM after Gruev...

Okafor

You can never watch enough Delia Smith programmes

I've felt very comfortable we'd stay up for a while now.... we've picked a good year to get promoted

[The Subhuman]

Okafor

Justin was #2 imo.

Full marks to Farke. Leeds win because of him and the decisions he took. He makes Leeds a better team. Does Dyche make Forest a better team?

Great team selection and great formation that allows the players the flexibility that a rigid formation doesn't. Gruev's ball for the first goal was superb, he struck through to the ball to impart backspin onto it. If he didn't do that the ball skips away from Bogle, as it was the ball was almost spinning backwards and Bogle did well to take it in his stride.

Thought Okafor had his best game for Leeds. Not just the goal but his workrate was excellent.

Also top marks for Darlow, had great night and deserved a clean sheet.

Low standard this year imo.

Apart from Wolves no awful teams.

But lots of meh teams and slightly less meh ones.

Let’s see where we are at the end of the month. If we can get a couple of points from the next three games I’ll be feeling great

[Jaydog]

Chested goal by DCL.
Gruev pass and Bogle finish.
2 very good goals.

What happened with that goal ?

[Orange Box]

'Eye, go on then

Just having a little swally and toasting our old mate Mental. A Ballindalloch first fill sherry cask 60 percent proof. He’d have loved it

I see the usual suspects are trying to diminish what Farke is doing. This season to stay up we have to finish above at least 2 prem teams whereas last season we'd have just had to finish above 1 given how poor the promoted teams were.

Really is sad. No doubt one will still find a way to suggest Dyche is a better manager than the one we have.

Just enjoy the win guys!

Good ball in, right on the money. Little chance for Rodon to win the header or Darlow to make the save. Only way to stop it was to stop the cross.

Burnley aren't great, couple of others did themselves no favours. Forest would likely be safe by now if Nuno stays. West Ham shot themselves in the foot and have given themselves a lot to do and Palace are a mess right now

No. Forest look a very dangerous team who are managed by an average manager.
Probably have 5 or 6 more points minimum if Farke was the boss.

[Jaydog]

Gruev runs very strangely. And thats being kind.
Brilliant tonight though

Nobody mentioned Farke!!!!!

Was a general observation.

Last season 7 teams had over 40 points at this stage and this season 5.

The standard is lower, 4th placed Manure wouldn't be top 6 at the same stage.

Just a footballing observation
