Leeds United have provided themselves a strong platform to build upon after opening up a five-point lead over third-placed Sheffield United following the latest round of fixtures.
The Peacocks have been shining under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa this season and have established themselves amongst the leading contenders to earn promotion to the Premier League – something fans have been hoping for ever since their relegation in 2004.
While the signs have so far been promising, there is still plenty of work to be done and some injury problems have led to a rise in concerns amongst the squad – but fans are hopeful that a huge boost is right around the corner.
Chelsea loanee Izzy Brown is yet to feature for the first-team this season after fighting back from his own injury issue but he caught the eye for the U23 side this week in a stunning 6-3 victory over Burnley and earned praise on social media.
We have gathered some of their comments below.

Today’s a good day #LUFC— Lee (@LufcLee19) December 11, 2018
Massive that we have a fit & firing Bamford back for this tough December period. Add that with Brown who's looking a class act, Jack Clarke playing outstanding today as well, & Ayling to come back at the end of this month.
Looking really good atm. #lufc https://t.co/9tawghenlO

Would love to see both Patrick Bamford & Izzy Brown in the Leeds squad for Saturday's game #lufc #mot

Could be even harder for Samuel Saiz to get back into the Leeds team with Izzy Brown looking sharp and fit #lufc #mot
