Our defence and samba were excellent last night. Fair play I thought ribeiro played  very well.

I was tearing my hair out with ameobi then he scores a cracker.

Same, was saying it looked like it'd be one of his bad games then that happened.

He's just so unpredictable frustrating and exciting in equal measures. Keeper should've done better on his goal though, basically dived over it, reminded me of Pants

Watching the replay of our second goal and there was no way the Leeds player was keeping hold of that ball. Lolley and Walker were like a couple of wild dogs chasing down their prey and Lolley returning to his 100% best couldn’t have come at a better time of the season. Same again Tuesday everyone and that goes for both the players and us fans

Great pic. Was at Trent End after Charlie Nicholas was stretchered off as I remember.

Like I told you last week after the Birmingham defeat when you were moaning. Just keep a level head. Stay calm. We CAN do this but we need calm level heads both on and off the pitch. Lamouchi will assure it on the pitch and we the fans need to assure it off the pitch.

Makes me laugh to see Bielsa's comments that Weeds have better players than Forest. I would have thought that a coach of his stature would realise that you do not have to have the best 11 players to have the best team. This is where Forest have improved so much under Sabri. The players are all playing for each other and the team and even the ones not in the starting 18 want the team to do well. The team spirit is so important and that is what got the Blunts promoted last season. You can see it every game with the bench cam, all those on the bench are willing the 11 on the pitch to win and no-one more so than Dawson.

It's difficult to know what Bielsa's going on about but I think he was trying to take some heat away from his players. From what I've read/heard I think he was saying that his players are of a good enough standard to get promotion (ie they have better players) and these players are putting lots of effort in so the issue must lie elsewhere. Accordingly he's the problem, not them.

If Mourinho or Clough were in charge of them at this time, they'd be saying something controversial in the media, maybe picking a fight with a rival manager, so as to take the spotlight off the Leeds players.

the fact is Leeds are a very good side and were playing some very good stuff and we knew it was going to be very tough which it was.

there were some desperate comments by leeds fans, Bielsa isn't easy to like and doesn't seem to have a plan B but you cannot deny they were looking very composed and relatively full of confidence at the start of the game.

We've been there, firing blanks, no plan B, lots of possession and unpopular managers, but they have a style i think they have to stick with, problem is, it is all about confidence and belief which is evaporating and after Brentford the likelihood that all the toys will be out all the prams again.

Early in the game there CB's were making fools out of our chasing down at times, but by the end they got done by a very industrial bouncer that Barnes Wallis would of been delighted with
