Well done lads.

We have a swagger about us, that winners always have. Reminds me of the great days.

Good times are coming folks.

weasel wrote: Tue Aug 25, 2026 8:57 pm Great win and made comfortable by us having James Trafford. Made the saves look easy but I don't think we get a clean sheet with Meslier, Perri or Darlow. So far showing how important he should be for us. Think so far it is Burnley form and being the difference maker in tight games. Don't concede and you have a chance to win any game.
In both games I’ve been reasonably cool when the ball is around our goal since we got Trafford and Muha and that wouldn’t have been the case previously.

Anyone who says cups don’t matter hasn’t watched the players & fans celebrating at the end.

Thought that second goal was going to be ruled out- but then I cheered when I realised no VAR

I wouldn't single-out Muha in front of Trafford to say that's why our defense looks good! All of our CB's are solid! Elvedi/Rodon/Tarik/Bijol are all top CB's. Trafford will be the best GK in the world in 2 years. He has joined the right team. We will go from strength to strength...

Acid test really on Sunday - we’ve played a team twice who matched our formation let’s see what we can do vs a very good attacking side in Brentford.

Yeah I forgot: she's the generic pretty girl on here and that makes her exempt from receiving negative comments even if it has to defy logic! 1 plus 2 still equals 3 though :P

That was the first time Leeds United had beaten Nottingham Forest at the City Ground since last Saturday.
