I did say at HT if can nick an early goal, could get something from game, that was fantastic.
What a comeback and a great 2nd half performance, looked very dangerous.
Thought Norwich better team first half but totally dominated them 2nd and a massive win and up to 3rd.
Gray didn't have his best game, maybe tired but he is a great prospect.
Be great if we can get Spence fit, be like new signing and help a problem area.
Piroe still blows hot and cold but still is first choice and will score goals.
Great game for James, I'm not his biggest fan but was a menace today, fantastic pace, if he could finish, he'd be amazing.
Lastly a big thumbs up to Farke, inspired subs, very attacking and paid off.

Sorry, still not a fan of James. Granted the lad has pace but what else?
Even at the best of times a strong wind blows him over. At times, in deperation, he does his best Tom Daley and hopes to con the ref. Even when he is in on goal history tells us the man cannot score. (Proved again yesterday) He was a total failure when previously played as a striker.

Just watched the full 90 mins again this morning, and while yesterday, I was critical of James, having seen it again, he had an excellent game. A constant threat. His crossing has improved dramatically, as has his decision making. I’m assuming it’s Farke and his team that have done this.

Leo . Bright is spot on in his assessment of DJ yesterday and of his improvements this season.
Credit where is it is due . DJ has 3 assists for Wales in past 2 games.
Plus 1 goal and a lot of assists this season for Leeds already.
Even in a failing EPL Leeds United team in 2021/ 22 he scored 5 goals and 4 assists more than decent.
Furthermore the very important first goal back for Leeds United yesterday was entirely down to DJ, his persistence and danger he created from the cross.
DJ unlike some other wingers tracks back, defends, he gives 100% every game, is a team player completely embracing the Leeds United " side before self " mantra
So to reiterate he is a winger that assists a fair deal . he is not a striker ; that was Bielsa nonsense.
I called it at start of season that he would get the most assists for Leeds this season; uber confident of it!

Spot on Baz!

It is good to see dj doing well. And it's refreshing to see a winger on his correct side. A right footer on the right. Just like it used to be when I was a lad.
As I said before he just needs to keep things simple. He has the pace to have most defenders on toast. Just beat your man and put it in a dangerous place like our first yesterday.

Indeed spot on Ben re keeping it simple.

Well said Baz.
What I like about James is he never let's his head go down no matter how many times he screws up a chance etc.
Great attitude.

It’s also worthy to point out that Rutter equally has the same assists as James. It’s great to see them both improving with each and every game.
