Plus: No embarrassing cup exit
Minus: Okafor once again poor, but this time v Championship opposition. Gnonto should be on before him.

Pos: a good day at the office
Neg: some of our squad need to up their game, Derby aren't even a decent Champo side

+ Good win
- Very little, based on the fact it was a team thrown together and some players havent had enough game time this season, we did well enough. Whilst i dont want us in the cup, we are through to the next round, so fair enough.

P: We showed the gulf in class throughout the game (despite the half time scoreline). We haven't always done that in cup ties. Despite the disjointed team it wasn't a disjointed performance.

N: Bornauw injury and Piroe not getting the goal he deserved.
I love leeds united, may I never admit to it. :shhh:

P ; Hopefully Gnonto ( and perhaps Piroe ) have reminded DF of their value going forward.

N : Okafor flopped again when we were up against a team 13th in the Championship. Given the game time he has now had this season, is he really likely to make any impact in the PL ?

Won the game avoided a potential Banana Skin and being one of the shocks,

Changed my mind about the first scorer was going to go for Gnonto. went for Piroe instead

P. 0% Of goals conceded by Leeds came from the left, involved Pascal Struijk, Lucas Perri, or came after we took the lead.
