One last post and I’ll leave you lads alone.
How good has Darlow been since he came into the side?
So solid with some exceptional saves.
And if James Justin had played more than half of the season he would be my player of the season as he’s literally been unbelievable and should be in the England squad.

100 Corky re Darlow and Justin.
And how good was that Pabloesque assist by Brendan Aaranson for Okafor's goal. It surprised even me in its quality.

Player of the season imo is DCL.

The assist was great, but the deflection made it.

Aaronson's ball for Okafor was sublime. As Baz said, Pabloesque.
Okafor did become a bit flicky after his goal. I think a bit gassed out after Monday, but it was good to see Gnonto come on and play well and put the ball through for the pen.
After the two early goals, we didn't let the tempo of the game drop, and a better team could have punished us. But all good.
And, could I just clear up, did we sign James Justin from Leicester or was it Hugo Sanchez?

Chuckle chuckle, Baz. Nice try.

Not a great game or performance, but it is still a 3 - 0 win. So, a potential banana skin overcome and job done.

Nah, Aus.
Genuinely, most sincerely, DCL has been Leeds United's best and most important player this season.
AiMO.

Think DCL has been very very good, but my vote for player of the season would see Gabby just edge him out.
1. Gudmundsson
2. DCL
3. Ampadu
4. Rodon
5. Justin/Bogle shared.
Beyond that, though, so many players have gone through patches of form at exactly the right time to this point of the season. When one player is a little off/inj etc, someone steps up. BA had an incredible period around xmas.
Stach was incredible between New Year and the injury. Okafor has been very important, obviously, recently. Darlow has proven very competent. Nmecha has been critical in holding the line when DCL was adjusting to a new team and scoring two critically late goals against Everton and Fulham (without those we'd be 4 points worse off) . Tanaka has had his moments too, with limited gametime.

Gabby player of Seez.
Edwards must have felt the same also yesterday.
The majority of what they did came down their left, and was kept far away from him, and hence his impact was minimal, but that's ok as he has plenty of credit in the bank. ?

Gabby has zero goals and zero assists. Can a player win Player of the Year with those stats?
100% he can, as he's been very, very good, and has created numerous chances which haven't been taken.
Gabby
DCL
Justin
Stach.

U got Justin Okafor below dcl Ealing. Shame on you. I mean we all know Baz is a fruitloop but please. Be sensible.

Gabi reminds me a tad of Ian Harte.. good going forward, but not great defensively.
We look vulnerable, and have conceded quite a lot of goals from his side of the pitch.
He is defo not player of seez.

Aus, be sensible.
Justin was bench warming first half of season.
And Okafor had no goals or assists for around an 18 game stretch.. yes, he has been excellent in recent matches.
Only Ampadu and possibly Rodon rival DCL for player of seez in Baz Book.

Baz, he was definitely getting caught out at the start of the season, defensively, but has improved as the season progressed.
Aus, without DCL, I don't believe we'd have as many points. He is pivotal to our attacking play. Nmecha and Piroe can't do the lone striker role with the same effect. Eleven goals, not too shabby for a team near the bottom, either?

Completely agree, Corky, 100 ?, re DCL being pivotal to our attacking play.
I take your point somewhat that Gabi has improved defensively as season progresses, but for me he defo isn't player of seez.

No, you got it all wrong. Player of the season is, wait for it — BA. ?? He has worked so hard, takes opposing players away, leaving gaps for others to move freely, scoring and assisting, an all-round player who never stops.

Player of the season? A very hard choice to make.
IMO ive only got a shortlist of Gabby, Bogle, Justin, Rodon, DCL.
Followed by Stach, Amps, Darlow.
Although the rest have had some great games, I really cant decide yet.
So I'm gonna give it to the scorer of the winning goal who wins us the FA Cup. Fingers crossed, or it keeps us safe officially.
Just my opinion, guys.
