Our panel of Leeds United fans are feeling optimistic following Tuesday’s last-gasp victory over Crystal Palace. Here are their thoughts on Sunday’s home clash with Brentford:

JACOB STARR
It’s Brentford at home on Sunday, and a chance of getting successive wins following that late, late victory against Crystal Palace in midweek.

Raphinha’s 93rd-minute penalty was the only goal of the game but oh how important could that goal turn out to be.

Leeds United are going to be the death of all of us. The Whites moved five points clear of the relegation zone and, with the Bees visiting Elland Road this weekend, the opportunity is there for us to get ourselves up into mid-table. The newly-promoted away side have had a mixed bag of results, including wins at West Ham and Wolves, a draw with Liverpool, and defeats to Burnley and Norwich.

Leeds United fans are expecting striker Patrick Bamford to feature at some point against Brentford after he came through his Under-23s' run-out earlier in the week while Kalvin Phillips' public support of coach Marcelo Bielsa has also been welcomed.

Their unpredictability reminds me a little of us last season. Marcelo Bielsa may have the option of playing Patrick Bamford and Luke Ayling, which has been a long time coming to say the least. If both are 100 per cent, I would imagine Bamford will come back in, simply because we have lacked a focal point in attack, as well as his goal contribution.
