Review:
Yes! A win against the second placed team proved the form book isn't wrong. Leeds are falling apart while we (with the odd blip) keep winning. This was a well faught game and both goals were taken well. Ameobi let Lewis Grabban take a defender with him so he could score and put the keeper the wrong way, while Lolley picked up a ball off a defender in injury time and selflessly passed to Walker to get his first goal since Dec 2017.
