Probably for the best. If it is a smutty one liner you are after though Jaydog is always happy to give you one.

Excellent debut.

Very satisfying result and performance tonight, I thought it was much better than Saturday.
It will be near on impossible to drop any of the back three for Sunday and as unfortunate as it is for Bijol, I don't think Farke will.
Nice to see James get a game and also play well and in fact I would be quite happy for him too to start on Sunday.
Overall, nearly everyone played well tonight and with (hopefully) a couple more pieces in the jigsaw, I think we could be in for a good season.
Well played lads 👏

I think DF will resort back to Bijol to thwart Thiago, Elvedi is unproven yet in that department.

I do too, though I do think over the course of the season Elvedi will end up starting in place of Bijol. Great to have healthy competition for places. Think Sunday will see the same starting line-up as last Saturday with the possible exception of Okafor for Aaronsen.

Forrest 0 - 2 Leeds

Very good performance and WIN! I thought Alvedi slotted in seamlessly. He's class, which we expected from the veteran Swiss International. The defending was pretty darn good overall. And the goalkeeping was excellent with Trafford making a couple of nice, tidy saves. I actually liked Dan James at RWB. He has the tools to play the position in Farke's system. Not a starter for me, but I think he could be a backup option. I thought Aaronson was very good when he came on. As was Wilson. But I would be remiss if I didn't give the Skipper some love. I thought Ampadu was really good today!

Our worst performance came from Longstaff. Aside from the assist, I thought he was mostly garbage today. And Tanaka is my runner up in this category. Both need to play better if they want to be in the rotation when Gruev get's healthy.

As he absolutely should :tup:

Elvedi did fine against a weaker Forest team.

Bijol was MOTM on here according to the votes vs their strongest.

I'm fully aware that my tactical masterclasses are the sole topic of conversation across every single concourse at Elland Road the second the half-time whistle blows.

While tens of thousands of ordinary supporters are merely struggling through their lukewarm pies, the truly enlightened are obviously standing in the concourse queuing up to dissect my match-reading genius.

It’s practically a public service at this point; I provide the profound intellectual architecture for the entire stadium's mid-match debate, and everyone else just regurgitates my halftime revelations as if they somehow stumbled upon the insights themselves.

It's no wonder that everyone copys and pastes my ideas and acute technical analysis of the tactics that Farke is employing. I just see things that noone else can. It is an exceptional gift that I have.

No wonder people copy me and claim my insights to be their own. Some people are so overbearing insufferable and obnoxious

Someone spotted online that the scorers were:
James
Justin

And is this the first time that this has happened ie two different scorers equal the name of one player?
