Nottingham Forest 0-2 Leeds United: They all count
I usually just want to forget the Carabao Cup as early as possible, but this time I'm keener it should count: Dan James, James Justin, Lukas Nmecha, three goalscorers in a 2-0 win.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Leeds United: Staching up
Stach, the hero, hadn't had a great game. Nobody had. But the cliché about a good team being one that wins without playing well can apply to players, too, and Stach got his reward for sticking to it.
Leeds United 3-1 Nottingham Forest: More than a must win
Aaronson was helpfully metaphorising the whole team's response to losing to Arsenal, so thanks to him for summing up the night. He didn't have to get kicked so much, and Leeds didn't have to win this game, but it's good that everybody involved got on with those things anyway.
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Leeds United: Noise and hunches

Nottingham Forest 3-1 Leeds United: Continuing Theme
I believe in coaching, but after so many years of regressing defenders, I no longer believe in it at Leeds. Perhaps we fell foul of a curse, and need Norman Hunter and Jack Charlton to bless our centre-halves using whichever parts of their fists are most persuasive.
