We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's 3-1 win at Derby in the third round of the FA Cup.
Here are some of your comments:
Stewart: Excellent second half performance and it was nice to see players coming back from injury and non-regular starters getting a run out. Good that James Justin scores to settle the match. Hopefully we can get a good draw in the next round.
Robert: Most FA Cup games are banana skins to us, but this one was reasonably comfortable. Joel Piroe had a great game, but not his day. Enjoyable game.
Eric: Good win in the end. Thought that Leeds looked too slow in first half and would have put money on Piroe tucking that penalty away. It was probably down to his lack of game time. We came out much better in second half and deserved the win. Disappointed with Noah Okafor's performance. He lost too many one-on-one's, but in the end we just had a bit too much quality. Looking forward to seeing who we get next.
Paul: Our recent run of form showed the confidence the team now has. I'm hopeful now, whether we have an FA Cup run or not, these boys will truly focus on the Premier League and a mid-table finish is definitely possible. MOT.
Thomas: Leeds can make hard work of these so called easy games. Tucking away a penalty would have given them a platform to make things so much smoother. But I think winning the game and getting players' minutes on the pitch overrides the negatives. A nice rest now until next weekend's fixture.
Andrew: If we had lost, we wouldn't have lost any sleep over it, but I think winning games breeds momentum and confidence. Game time for players with not many league minutes is massively important because everyone will be needed as the season wears on. We dominated Derby so a great win.

Image source, Getty ImagesLeeds manager Daniel Farke speaking to TNT Sports after beating Derby County 3-1 in the FA Cup: "Many compliments to the lads, back to the winning ways because we know how difficult this was. It's always difficult when you miss so many chances like we did, you could easily loose these games.
"We were mature, disciplined and professional in this game and we were able to turn this game into something we deserved.
"Once we adapted after 20-minutes we were the better side. We missed in the first half an unbelievable amount of opportunities. At half-time the message was don't get nervous, the goals are coming, stay on it and stay disciplined.
"We needed to switch on more in our own box because one little detail can be costly in this situation, but also, not to allow any counter attacks and to keep going."
Player of the match Will Gnonto, also spoke to TNT Sport: "I am really pleased, it was a tough game and we knew it was going to be tough coming here. I am happy with the win and happy with my performance.
"We want to dream and take our chances game by game, so hopefully we are going to for something big.
"I think it's a good reminder of what the Championship can be. It was tough.
"I am happy for the finish, we train every day and it was a result of what we work on. I am confident in the position."

Premier League survival is undoubtedly the main priority of this campaign for Leeds - and they have ensured they have a very real chance of attaining that on their top-flight return amid a promising upturn in results since late November.
With that objective at the forefront of his mind, Daniel Farke made eight changes for the trip to Derby - a side they beat home and away in the second tier last season - with in-form striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin remaining among the substitutes.
An eventful six-minute spell in the first half suggested it may not be Leeds' day as Joel Piroe was frustrated by both the woodwork and goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom before Derby made the breakthrough.
But their vocal following of away support were at last able to celebrate when Wilfried Gnonto and Ao Tanaka completed an efficient four-minute second-half turnaround.
Having looked thoroughly unimpressed at the interval, Farke was all smiles at full-time after watching his side bounce back from having their seven-match unbeaten streak cruelly ended by two stoppage-time goals at Newcastle in midweek.
Since the start of December, Manchester City and Liverpool (0) are the only Premier League sides that have suffered fewer defeats across all competitions than Leeds.
Whether you were at the game or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.

Leeds have been terrific recently and, as regular readers will know, I am really pleased for their manager Daniel Farke and how he has changed the narrative about his future.
I can see Farke making plenty of changes here because, while he would love a cup run, he knows there is still work to do to keep his side in the Premier League.
That's why I am going for Derby to cause an upset. They are improving all the time under John Eustace and while Leeds will be full of confidence off the back of the past few weeks, I am not sure they will maintain their intensity with a second-string side.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1
The team at Don't Go To Bed Just Yet have dropped a fresh episode off the back of a 4-3 defeat and with FA Cup obligations on the horizon.
The Whites meet Derby County but how will they juggle cup commitments with a push for survival in the Premier League?

Derby County v Leeds United (12:00, Sunday 11 January) - Listen on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Leeds and BBC Radio Derby,
Image source, Leeds United FCWe asked for your views on the redevelopment of Elland Road.
Here are some of your comments:
Thomas: The ground is definitely due a makeover, but obviously we have to stay in the Premier League. It's important that the ground is able to maintain its intimidating atmosphere when it's built. It would also lead to the employment of a lot of people with the commercial buildings supporting the ground. It looks a wonderful spectacle.
Dale: Great news! But, if the season ticket waiting list is 26,000, why are we only increasing it by 15,000? We could sell out 70,000+ so go for it. Or at least put in the foundations and structure for an easy increase.
Antony: We've been here many times before. When I was 14 years old, I was on work experience at an architecture firm producing fancy looking 3D renders of the upgraded Elland Road and adjoining arena. I'm now 44. If it happens, great - it's long overdue. However, I won't get too excited until there are spades in the ground.
Dan: A big club needs a big stadium. Got to be done. So ridiculously hard to get a ticket for Elland Road!
Boris: The ground redevelopment is long overdue - it has been years since I've been able to get a ticket for a home game. My biggest worry is getting an extra 20,000 fans into and out of the stadium without total gridlock.
Peter: Yes, it's a priority. Can you imagine great clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern or Inter playing in front of just 38,000 fans? It's overdue. Get on with it.
Harrison: Brilliant news for Leeds. The club, city, people and fans will all benefit from the expansion of the stadium. And it will give the club a chance to compete financially with the best teams in Europe.
Mary: The city deserves a modern stadium without having to sell our 'soul' like West Ham, Everton et al. I hope the vast majority of new seating goes to real fans, and not tourists and corporate money. Can't wait!!!

Image source, Leeds UnitedLeeds City council have approved plans to redevelop Elland Road, with capacity set to increase by more than 15,000.
The expansion will see Leeds United's ground become the seventh largest stadium in English football, as it jumps from 37,645 seats to about 53,000.
Chairman Paraag Marathe said: "As custodians of this great club, we are committed to its long-term success.
"Today's decision supports our ambition to establish Leeds in the Premier League and continue progressing over the years to come."
The club said the regeneration would help meet demand from supporters, with 26,000 people currently on a waiting list for a season ticket.
It will allow Leeds to bid to host fixtures in major international tournaments and generate about £29m annually for the region's economy, the club said.
So, how do you feel about the expansion? Are you excited for the redevelopment or do you think it is not a priority?

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has been speaking to the media before Sunday's FA Cup third round tie against Derby County at Pride Park (kick-off 12:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Farke began by paying tribute to club legend Terry Yorath, who has died at the age of 75: "Very sad news. All our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Very sad news for us, a proper club legend. Always sad to hear this. It is a part of life and he will never be forgotten - he will always be part of our Leeds family. His legacy will live forever."
The Leeds boss confirmed that if it is "risky" to do so, then he will not play Jayden Bogle at Derby and it will "more or less be the same group of players as for the last game" who are available, with Sam Byram a "little question mark" because of a back problem.
Despite a "tough run" of four games in 10 days, Farke insisted he is a "big believer in cup competitions" and "loves this traditional cup". However, despite always wanting to win the FA Cup, he also acknowledged the "big priority this season is to stay in the Premier League, so we won't risk any players".
He added: "I don't want to come across that it is over-ambition off back of defeat that I want to win a major competition. We know it is not realistic as promoted side, but we have shown, whether it be a quarter-final, semi-final, final, against top sides we are capable to win this. But to get there, you have to make sure you win early rounds and we respect Derby."
Farke confirmed that Karl Darlow will start in goal on Sunday, and on Lucas Perri, who has come under criticism for recent mistakes, he said: "Always like to be open and honest about everything. Of course, last few games Lucas had situations he could have saved and decision-making wasn't great. It is better not to hide this fact and talk nonsense. Important to hold hand up and be self-critical."
He added: "You can't just take praise, have to take negative aspects too. And if you don't meet expectations then you will get criticised. I'd rather try not to sugar-coat it and be honest about it, instead of hiding behind elephant in the room."
With Joel Piroe and Jack Harrison struggling for game time in recent weeks, Farke explained how highly he rates Piroe for his "finishing skills" and this is important for them in games they dominate, but it is "not failure of Joel" that they have had to alter their approach recently. He also praised Harrison for being "professional" and when an opportunity next comes, he "has to use it and shine".

Data from Opta (XPTS = expected points); % is percentage chance of relegation
We have only just gone past the halfway stage of the Premier League season, so how much can really be read into predictions?
For supporters of Wolves, Burnley and West Ham, they will be hoping not very much.
Leeds and Nottingham Forest, however? They would breathe a bit more easily.
Throughout the season, Opta's "supercomputer" is continually predicting how the final table might look and what percentage chance clubs have of winning the title, finishing top four, in Europe and also relegation.
But for those teams currently occupying the relegation spots in the Premier League, they may want to avert their gaze.
Having only just picked up their first win last weekend, most Wolves fans will have been settled on the fact they would be returning to the Championship come the end of the season.
And Opta's predictions would suggest the same.
Of course, 14 points off 17th place with 17 games to go, it is still very much mathematically possible to save themselves - and with five points in three games there has been an uptick in form - but with a predicted chance of survival of just 0.73%, it would take something incredibly special.
Burnley's return to the top flight has not been the easiest.
While the Clarets have been picking up points, it has not been at the rate needed to get themselves out of the danger zone.
Another point was accrued against Manchester United on Wednesday night, taking them one point behind West Ham in 18th but, with Nottingham Forest's win over the Hammers on Tuesday, it still leaves Burnley eight points off safety.
Like Wolves, Opta's statistics and simulations suggest Scott Parker's side will be back in the second tier next term, with just a 6.59% survival chance unless they can start turning more draws into wins and eking out points from the narrow defeats.
As for West Ham, the defeat by Forest could prove to be one of the most damaging for their season.
A classic six-pointer, a win could have seen them close the gap to just one point. Instead, it sits at seven and sees them with a now 88.76% chance of relegation.
The change of manager from Graham Potter to Nuno Espirito Santo is yet to have the desired effect and both the head coach and the ownership are coming under pressure from the fanbase.
It was pressure that Daniel Farke was feeling at Leeds before their turnaround in results that has left them with just a 7.49% chance of relegation, while Sean Dyche may once again be steering a team to Premier League safety with a less than 10% chance of dropping out of the top flight.
But this is the Premier League, and teams have upset the odds before.

We asked for your thoughts after Wednesday's Premier League game between Newcastle and Leeds.
Here are some of your comments:
Newcastle fans
Paul: Superb - game of the season. Well done Newcastle. That win was for Kevin Keegan.
Colin: Eddie said it would be a "season defining month". I think we just saw a season defining match. Behind three times and came back three times with a little extra oomph at the end to win the game. Howay the lads.
John: Quite a frustrating watch for Newcastle fans. Leaky defence, individual errors and a slow/predictable build up to attacks. We have much to improve, but 100% for our never say die mentality. Kevin Keegan will be proud of his former club.
Lee: What a game to win, Leeds more than played their part and were unlucky not to at least get a point but we will take that as we've been on the other end a few times ourselves!
Leeds fans
Crhis: Probably one of the most exciting/stressful games I've watched in a long time. Personally I think Farke bringing subs on so late in the game lost us the three points. Perri with another couple of shockers didn't help either
Andy: Great effort from Leeds in a cauldron, but sat far too deep in the second half and not as disciplined as of late. Perri never looked commanding or a safe bet with with anything coming across into the box and it all felt desperate for the last 20 minutes. Hats off to Aaronson, but he looked tired a long time before he was replaced - as did some others.
Peter: I watched with dismay. We just cannot keep defending for a full 90 (plus) minutes after tremendous opening. We relaxed after scoring again, then could not defend the corners...again! What a waste, we could be mid table by now. Can we buy a defender or two?
Richard: I sent a text to my brother after we went 3-2 up saying we would lose 4-3 .....knew we would try to defend it too deep. Should have put a few quid on it.
Image source, Hulton Archive via Getty ImagesWe asked for some of your favourite memories of Terry Yorath, following news that the former Leeds midfielder and ex-Wales manager has died aged 75.
Here are some of your replies:
Peter: We have lost another of Don Revie's great Leeds side of the 60s and 70s. Terry never gave an inch to his opponents and was a fiercely combative player who more than played his part in the successes of that team. I met him a few times and he was a real gentleman who always had time for a chat. Condolences to his family and friends.
Chris: Terry Yorath was a great force in the game. He came into a fabulous Leeds team and was unfairly criticised on occasions simply because he was not as good as Bremner or Giles. He would be the linchpin of most teams in his prime. Skilful and versatile and, in my book, a great of the game.
Richard: I "met" Terry Yorath once, about 25 years ago. I let him pull out of his driveway when I was stuck in the usual commuter traffic on the way to work. He smiled and waved a thank you. Made my day!
Andrew: I had the pleasure of meeting Terry at Elland Road in 2016, he was a gentleman and will be missed.
