Ever the optimist! I dread to think what you'd have written if you were a pessimist 🙂

Agree. Clearly bottled it to avoid antagonising the Geordies. Blatant red all day.

He's only started 3 games and come on in the rest so his 2 goal haul is impressive.

What was the goal like? Think AA got the assist.

Good to get the win with another late goal so more evidence that we keep going right to the final whistle. These type of relatively scrappy wins are crucial in a season and this maintains our momentum built during the last 7 games. Well done boys!

Think the wee man deserves a bump after today's late winner.

The wee man again!

Just my opinion. I've never seen anything in Winks other than a player who recycles the ball by playing a majority of simple passes. He flatters to deceive and the Spurs fans were desperate to get shot of him. Despite playing every game this season he has scored only one goal and has zero assists. Not for me but each to his own.

Big win for Leeds at Leicester and well deserved. Watched Harry Winks do what he always does 5 and 10 yard, nothing passes in the main - wouldn't want him playing for us. Think Leicester had about one effort on target all game and they looked poor tonight. Not over impressed with Pirou though - didn't do much other than miss an early chance.

We should be confident of winning this one. Just play as we did in the first half against Brum and take our chances and we should have too much for them.

He looks good. Some big clubs reported to be watching him. Surprising he's 27 and still playing in Denmark. Decent height at 6' 2". Sign him up.

Maybe Ross and AA would make a decent strike pair in the big guy/little guy mode. With his pace can see AA latching on to balls headed on by RS. Might not fit into RM's style of play though.

Bet he'll have something scripted for the start of the second half.

Agree. I wonder how long he spends writing his clearly scripted opening commentary that we have to endure every week. He needs to cut out the flowery words and stick to commentating on what's going on in the game.

No, wrong incident so agree, no foul there. I'm talking about just before when their guy scissor tackled KWP and it was a blatant foul not given by the ref.

I was actually talking about the scissor tackle on JWP not the Baz incident.

But do you think it was a foul? It looked blatant to me and quite dangerous although their player came off worse.

He's not hated by the vast majority. A lot may disagree with his tactics but that doesn't equate to hate.

Nobody is catching Leicester.

I reckon we might see Ross on the bench after the next international break. If not I'll start to worry.

With the help of the ref who failed to give the blatant foul on KWP.

Agree with your views on him. Hated it when he officiated our matches.

Smallbone will never be a top quality player but I think a lot of his good work gets missed. I'd say his movement off the ball and ability to find pockets of space is better than anyone else in the team. He is also developing a very good understanding with KWP making an excellent partnership there plus he's popped up with a few goals. What he possibly lacks is a little bit of pace and physicality but most games I think he plays an important role for the team.

I think this is partly true.

If this is the case then why don't we play similar to yesterday which was chalk and cheese to practically every other game so far? And I don't buy into this idea that it takes time to learn because we did nothing yesterday that needs any great skill set change - it was front front foot positive football with players finding pockets of space, passing and moving, a mix of some longer balls, passing with pace on the ball and players recognising that sometimes they need to drop off to receive the ball. There was a lot we saw yesterday that has largely been missing and far less of the crab football so long may it continue.
