Having watched Brentford v Wolves last night, I don't think we will be far off getting a result on Saturday night.
If we can remain solid against them and press them, they will give chances.
Plus Damsgaard went off injured.
We are having a dip at the moment. Dcl not scoring. Aaronson hasn't got the same zip to his play as of late. Gabby is missing someone else on the left to link with.
We are staying solid with no end product.
Even the long throws and our resurgence at corners has gone flat.
But better a slight dip now than one in the last few games.
We need some goals!
If we had scored 1 v Palace we would have probably won.
And if Johnson had got the 3 yellows he deserved we should have won.

We badly need a win of any description this Saturday, but to score 2, 3, or more goals and avoid another nerve shredding 90 mins would be absolutely brilliant.

We need to better or equal the points of one of the 3 teams under us.
But a comfortable end to the season with some good wins would be nice.

Lief giving the Derby fans the binoculars after scoring. Spot on!
1.) 07 Feb 2026 21:56:04
Lol! Brilliant!
2.) 08 Feb 2026 07:11:51
Very good, Davis.
3.) 08 Feb 2026 12:19:37
Nice one Leif!

Yes get in what a great performance and the goals were all good and well executed.
Who would have thought that James Justin would be so influential in the opposite box as he has.
I always thought he was a good defender and a solid presence at the back but scoring and assisting?
Good to see bogle and okafor having good games and getting goals. If this can spur them on for rest of the season then it would be nice.
And gruev! Best game so far in a leeds shirt. That pass to bogle!
Against arsenal he got swamped but with time and space he was great.
But we have to remember this was forest a very ordinary team. Anderson looked good early on and tried to feed gibbs-white and there forwards. And we did get ragged at the back a few times and we did give away a few chances.
But as the game went on and our goals went in Anderson and gibbs-white faded. Take those two from forest and they are dyches Burnley.
So it's mission accomplished beat the teams around us keep our heads looking up and marching on.

Such fine margins in the epl Ben, whilst I agree with your assessment of Forest side it’s still the same Forest team that battered us at their place by the same score. (We were in a very different place then, before our change of formation)
Think it came down to Farke getting it spot on last night, and Dyche getting it very wrong, Omar Hutchinson terrorised us at their place and made the goal when he came on last night and Gabby could not get forward when he came on, but Dyche set up not to lose, which enabled our fan base to drive us towards a fantastic win last night.
Such fine margins, but hopefully our confidence will be sky high taking us into a tricky run of Chelsea, Villa away and Citeh at home.
After last night, I would not be surprised for us to collect four points from next three games and I’m including beating Citeh at ER.
2.) 07 Feb 2026 11:14:49
Gruev's pass was amazing, you could see him deliberately get under the ball to create back spin so it would hold up on the wet pitch. Amazing pass.
I saw the run coming early and was shouting Bogle, Bogle at the screen and fortunately Gruev heard me ?.
3.) 07 Feb 2026 11:45:08
They’ve got some decent players in that Forest squad, thankfully for us Dyche is the wrong coach in my opinion to get the best out of his players. A player who does work well in a Dyche team is Chris Wood, thankfully for us he’s injured.
Aaronson is like a new signing, his transformation has been nothing short of spectacular, his got an energy tank like Lee Bowyer had, he just never stops running and working for the team.
I agree with Justin also, Farke and his coaching staff have converted him into a real weapon for us.
I’ve see us play much better than last night and not win but those 3 points were massive against a fellow struggling team. Our work effort and determination makes me believe we will stay up but neither West Ham or Forest will be throwing in the towel just yet.
I still believe this will be scrap to very end.
4.) 07 Feb 2026 12:59:39
On top of it all, how much have forest spent over the last 3-4 seasons? I dunno, but it's a big whack, and it's not improved them!
5.) 08 Feb 2026 01:42:34
Saw that Canada. Purposely got under the ball so it would not run away. Masterful pass.
01 Feb 2026 10:13:06
We were totally out classed by arsenal. They did not let us settle. We never really got started or in any rhythm. It was always going to be tough as they needed a good result after the last few weeks.
I think gruev did OK but we lacked a bit of spark to break the press and get up the field. Gruev is never going to be that player.
I would have preferred Justin to be the one who stayed on over bogle. I think bogle has not settled in to prem football.
But I think it came down to quality in the end. There balls into the box were absolutely spot on all match. There corners caused us trouble every time.
We couldn't clear our lines.
Our crossing was poor and balls into the box were inaccurate.
This is one to forget.
One concern is that the last couple of games buonanotte has been used over gnonto. I am sure he is a talented lad when up to speed but surely if you are chasing a goal you bring on a fit player who knows the system and players. Not a player who has not played for a bit and bounced around from club to club.
Gnonto has helped us get results in 3 games off the bench but still he is only getting limited game time.
Move on forest is a bigger game for us!
12 Jan 2026 14:44:27
I thought gnonto was our best player against Derby. He is a young lad with lots of talent he has just been unlucky with injuries at wrong times and the good form of James and Solomon last year. And now we have stopped playing with wingers.
He has contributed to three good results so far .
Goal yesterday. Penalty against Liverpool and a wonderful cross for dcl.
He is arguably in better form than okafor. But maybe he doesn't have the pace.
I think with a run of games he could show us how valuable he is.
1.) 12 Jan 2026 17:12:32
Pace is great but you need to have the end result and Okafor only shows glimpses of what we hoped he could do. I've always liked Willie G for his enthusiasm and commitment and hope we can find a slot for him to play on a more regular basis. He's done ok the last few games.
2.) 12 Jan 2026 17:38:15
I would like willy to get more game time. I think he needs it to really develop. Okafor is I think suffering a little from the pace of English football. He started like a train but he is having a bit of a dip in my opinion.
I like how willy doesn't give the ball away a lot and he links the play well.
3.) 12 Jan 2026 20:26:50
Gnonto is a good player but I’m not sure he will fulfill his potential. I also hate his constant cheating and histrionics, it drives me mad.
How many times has he been rolling around feigning injury while the opponent attacks?!
Seems like a nice fella though!
4.) 12 Jan 2026 22:56:09
He's a young Italian! He is going to roll around a bit . But he plays with a smile on his face and he has a few years yet to improve.
5.) 13 Jan 2026 06:40:33
All teams roll around as if they been hit by a bus Gnonto is no different seems to be a part of the game, like goal keepers going down . watched the woman play the other night it’s creeping in to there game now to.
6.) 13 Jan 2026 17:32:33
Oh no! God forbid the women start rolling around, crying and complaining for nowt! ?.
7.) 13 Jan 2026 22:22:30
My missus already does that Bright!
14 Oct 2023 16:15:56
He said we would be looking at loans primarily.
If the loans are as good as jadon, rodon and spence we should be golden.
19 Mar 2026 09:52:29
Baz, you are back!
Just like that other fella who came back around this time of year.
Are you the messiah, or a...?
17 Mar 2026 19:49:58
VAR got something wrong!
Who would have thought!
These things, over a season, even themselves out. But if it happens in the last few games yer buggered.
17 Mar 2026 14:45:04
We need to better or equal the points of one of the 3 teams under us.
But a comfortable end to the season with some good wins would be nice.
18 Jan 2026 09:21:40
Yes aus very much in control. There has been the Newcastle game where in the second half we lost a bit of control and got a bit ragged. In most other games since the 5 at the back we have controlled and kept even the good teams at arms length.
I felt that we stopped anything from Fulham at source and didn't let them start to build any momentum.
For a lot of our games this season I have never felt we have been overrun too many times. Which shows that farke has learned from his Norwich days.
Just hope things continue till the end of the season.
Okafor needs to be rested for a few games he doesn't look like the player who started the season.
18 Jan 2026 09:07:42
.
Tes topman. Like kalvin to city he chose somewhere with lots of options in his position. Lots of international players that he has to shine above to be noticed.
A friend of mine knows the family of lewis-potter who moved from hull to Brentford.
They deliberated for quite a while on where he would go and get game time. He chose well.
Archie has potential but he needs game time. And with spurs struggling for form a manager might overlook a young relatively inexperienced midfielder.
The batterings they took under ange might not have helped either. He played a lot out of position. He needs regular football in his preferred position.
