Everyone was fantastic today, Parky, the starting eleven, the subs and lastly the supporters. Today we have proven that we are a team to be feared Can i just be the first to say though....Randolph is our number one keeper, not only the world class save he pulled off late on, but his distribution (that for some reason, i dont know how, has been questioned this week) is so much better than elliotts!Top top keeper! BELIEVE!!!
I wouldnt agree with that RedZed i thought first half they were the better team but we looked for some reason more nervous. Second half we were in every single way better than them!I couldnt even give a man of the match, I thought every single player were brilliant!Maybe the weak links i would say were Burton and Forster but Parky made the changes and boy did they work!
I started watching the stream from the last ten mins of the first half, and throughout I thought we looked the better team. Most encouragingly, we kept at it, we got the goal, and then we held on - and looked pretty composed in the last few mins, with just the one heart-stopping moment and amazing save from Randy.
Against Norwich we were great for most of the match, but lost our way in the last 10. Today we corrected that.
Akpo and Mooney looked a real handfull, as did Reid. Great idea to bring them all on at once, I think that caught Leeds by surprise. I've said before I think we are a far better team than many think we are and IMO should not have gone into this game 5 points behind Leeds who frankly were pretty average.
Thought we started well before Leeds took control for most of the first half.
Second half a different story - was really expecting them to take the game to us, especially when Beckford came on, but thought we looked pretty comfortable for most of it.
Didn't think we were going to score, brilliant free kick from Reid and an even better reflex save from Randolph.
Thought Richardson had a very good game, as did Semedo (again).
Great performance today with no one having a poor game all 14 played their part....Daily getting a special mention from me.
Their centre back No 33 Collins also had an awesome game....which made things very tough for Deon but he stuck to his task and didn't disgrace himself one bit.
We go forward with confidence one has to say...still think automatic is just a tiny step too far but we've no need to fear any team from now on....and should it be neccessary, let's do those f'ing Spanners and put the awful memory of a few weeks back well and truly behind us!
Fantastic result today, we made Leeds look like Histon! We're still in with a chance now, although there are a lots of ifs and buts and it's not in our hands. I think we'll do well in the playoffs.
All Leeds need to do next week is beat Bristol Rovers at home.
But can you imagine if it was us with 45 games played, sitting in the automatic spot - and all we needed to do to clinch promotion is beat Bristol Rovers at home?
So maybe we're best playing away to Oldham after all. Fingers crossed, eh?
Today's performance will give the players a massive boost in confidence and leave Leeds very, very deflated. Millwall won't be feeling too chipper tonight either.
Just got in, voice has gone, mug of tea soothing it back to life.
Great game, all the players put a shift in, and I think the subs were spot on, Burton & Forster were getting nowhere against the Leeds back four, Akpo, Mooney and Reid looked a handful when they came on.
Well done to the fans as well, lifted the roof off the place.
Excellent performance second half, at least 2 excellent saves from Randolph, thought the crowd really got behind the team, a good game to watch. My wife attended the first time since the prem days!, If Charlton played like that why are they not top she asked!...... Good to see that we are playing well as a team for the playoffs!, feel a lot better than a month or two ago about things! Come on you Reds!

Technically still true.
Have to say, I didn't think we played as well as some people think - first half both teams were pretty average and neither Burton or Forster did too well. We turned it up after about 60 mins though, and from then on we were definitely the better team.

I'm imagining that in the Churchill dog accent, AFKA!
Thought dirty leeds were a technically better side but we had that bit more passion and that's what won it for us...
which stands us in very good stead if we end up in the play-offs.

The team spirit really came through.

Good job Parky is so crap with substitutions, eh?

So proud!
