Crucial win. Klich played well the 2nd half - best I have seen him for ages. So many good quality touches and close control.
Nervy at the end but more about table positional anxiety.

Massive, massive result.
Still a long way to go but breathing space for now.
I have to say, you could tell we had had a two week break, the energy levels were high for the full 90 minutes today.

Big big win.

Course, all the focus will be on the bottle incident, expect it to be shown a few times on MOTD etc. Presume club will get hammered by the FA, could be a points deduction if they follow the Lyons example.

Thank god for that

Absolutely vital, gives us a ppg average of 1 point per game over half of the season, its a poor average lets be honest but it is on average enough for survival.

Good performance today largely, their were some sloppy passes and Meslier did save us when Wood got in but we were the better side.

Werent clinical unfortunately and wasted plenty of opportunities but we did enough, that being said Roberts and Raph wasted absolute sitters, not sure which was worse.

Pleased for Harrison and James who have desperately lacked end product this season, today they showed some whereas Raph i thought was poor by his standards

Gelhardt was immense again having replaced the 50/50 Roberts, some good some awful from Roberts.

Klich doesnt look right again sadly

Thought the back 4 were decent, Koch, Llorente, Ayling and Firpo.

Overall decent performance.

Marred by another twat throwing a bottle and making all Leeds fans look bad, hopefully the people in the ground identify him to the relevant authorities.

Haven’t enjoyed a game so much in ages, I always thought we’d get over the line in the end but I was very relieved when Stuarty scored.

On to Wet Sham now, difficult one away.

So proud of every one of the boys today. It looked like break was exactly what was needed. We looked hungry and we had the fight back. We are amazing. We are unbreakable. We are LEEDS. (I might be a bit emotional😉)

I thought Firpo and Koch in particular were excellent

But Burnley, Newcastle and Norwich PPG will be even worse.

Great to see a win, especially by more than one goal.

Well done the lads.

Expected to win and we did, bit nervy first 20 mins of 2nd half, after that we controlled it and won nearly every second ball, some good performances today, bad goal to concede, thought roberts could have done better, but also meslier.
All in all, a great result.
Only 6 points and 75 goals off 10th spot.

I think I actually preferred it with no fans. These idiots are just embarrassing and bringing shame on our club. What do they want exactly? To have us look like Millscum and Chavski.

Do Llorente and Roberts miss the cup match or the league match v West Ham?

League. Remember last year KP missed Brighton rather than Crawley.

Unfortunately the club still does count some knuckle scraping neanderthals in its fanbase...

Great result, from an under-pressure squad and manager.
Hope Bamford can get back soon and we can grind out a few more points in the second half of the season.
