A hard fought win and back in the top two - happy days.

The type of game we'd have lost last season

Leeds do make us sweat, we rarely win comfortably

Just happy with the three points Swannie

The inclusion of Pablo proves today how much more he is involved in a game compared to Costa

Influential today

64 I think you should give back the season ticket and join us here on a matchday.

It is definitely just as vocal as being in the ground!

Thought Costa did very well when he came on (only watched 2nd half and a few minutes of the 1st)

Passing was good, kept the ball well, and he created atleast 3 shooting chances far as I remember.

Didn't think Roberts or Harrison did much or created much.

Would like to see Pablo and Costa together in the starting 11


Edit, Costa created 3 chances, Harrison and Roberts created 0 between them.

Their Keeper played a blinder and was MOTM for their team.
The referee was lenient and let the game flow which I was happy for.
Lord Paddy was giving the cupped ear once again. I will give him the two goals.
it will do his confidence the world of good.
White was my MOTM he made some superb passes especially the one for Bamford to score,
he was almost like an attacking midfielder... could never imagine Pontus doing that.
Bielsa showed his intent by bringing on Costa and Clarke in attack he was not playing for a draw.
Well deserved win... and well done the Ref :) :-D :roflmao: :lol:

A couple of chance saving tackles, one sublime interception and release...best player on the pitch first half for me. Twitter has too many no nothing idiots to take seriously, bit like reading the Sunday Sport for good political analysis
Only caught the last 2 or 3 minutes of the 1st half.

Certainly was poor for the goal imo, far to easily beaten for pace their but I cant really comment on any more then that, was just curious because of twitter so thanks.

Perhaps fortunate at the end, but another game we should have won comfortably and we had no luck v Forest, Derby, Swansea, Preston, Millwall etc so good to see our fortunes slightly changing in that regard.

I thought Clarke would never play for us again, great to see him finally, but it would be sod's law if he regains his form and then he's recalled in January.

No offence but beaten for pace is not his fault, sometimes a player is just better or quicker. Don't forget he's a CB covering LB in that 3 at the back system. You can knock Bielsa for that but not Berardi..What he does he's very good at most of the time, Still the best RB at the club by a distance for me and a true servant of the club.

Still a very predictable player to defend by the looks of it

Hard to believe that that was our first win on the road in two months!

For those who like to complain that the EFL is against Leeds and the ref is in on it they should watch the replay of that game.

We got away with a few there today. Dallas clumsiness in coming into Collins from the wrong side. Phillips trip on Brown. The offside decision.
All small margins which helped us take home the points.

But Bielsa made good substitutions first shoring up the defence with Coop and then bringing on Costa and Clarke to try and secure the points.
