    We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Nottingham Forest and Leeds.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Forest fans

    Kristian Much better after the subs as it was pretty turgid stuff before then. Omari Hutchinson changed the game with his running and pace and Taiwo Awoniyi looked lively. Encouraging, and once Chris Wood, Ola Aina and Callum Hudson Odoi are back we should have enough to pull clear of danger.

    James: Finally, but this Forest has come too late. Sean Dyche is the perfect fit but has a lot of work if Forest want to remain in the Premier League.

    Andy: Glad to see Dychey give Hutchinson the minutes he deserves. Playing Dan Ndoye on the left and Omari on the right is the right choice for the system he's trying to put in place. Two goals proves it.

    Ben: It feels like Forest have their identity back: they were resolute in defence, resilient when behind and persistent in attack. They deserved to win and the performance is consistent with the steady stabilising trajectory they have been on since Dyche took over. Great performances all over the pitch but what an impact from Hutchinson! More of that please!

    Luke: The performance can be analysed, but it really was all about the three points, which we did deserve. It certainly gives me reason to believe we'll finish above Leeds and puts a much better perspective on the three results this week.

    Leeds fans

    Steve: When will Daniel Farke learn? You cannot play against any Premier League Teams with only 10 men, because as long as he plays Brenden Aaronson that's what he's doing. He is not Championship standard never mind Premier League. Farke is indecisive and out of his depth. Replace him now before it's too late.

    Pete: Farke procrastinated today when he should have been more proactive with his changes just after the halfway mark. He waited for Dyche to play his cards and then we end up going behind before he's forced to change things. Too late as we were now chasing the game. Then he replaced our best player at left-back with an average winger who's not best at defending and gave away a penalty. Game over. Poor tactically from Farke. I like him but I think he's brought pressure on himself and I wouldn't be surprised if the owners use the international break to replace him.

    Robbie: Ethan Ampadu has to be moved back next to Joe Rodon, as they were last season. We have enough quality in midfield to cover his place. Dan James and Willy Gnonto have to start when fit. And a proven striker!

    Mark: Four defeats in five games and with Aston Villa, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool in the next four, it's a worrying time, especially with West Ham and Nottingham Forest, immediately below us, seemingly turning a corner. Still not clinical enough up front and beginning to leak at the back. It's a concern. We could be bottom two before Christmas.

    Ian: Lacked a quality flair player in midfield, more attacking options and played a left-winger at left-back! The board should have done better business over the summer especially up front.

  2. Nottingham Forest analysis: Priceless win for Dyche's team?published at 18:47 GMT 9 November

    The longer the winless run in the league went on for Sean Dyche, who replaced 39-day manager Ange Postecoglou, the worse things could have got.

    They were only behind for two minutes and 17 seconds in between Lukas Nmecha's opener and Ibrahim Sangare's strike.

    It is telling that Gibbs-White, who failed to get a move to Tottenham in the summer, has now scored three times under Dyche - after netting none under the Australian.

    He left to a standing ovation, having been criticised earlier in the season by the club's fans.

    This was not a vintage Forest performance, certainly compared with last season, but they were better than they have been and created the more promising chances.

    They looked livelier too after a triple substitution by Dyche, including the introduction of Hutchison, who set up the second goal and won the penalty.

    Had Gibbs-White not been replaced moments earlier he would have had the opportunity to score his second - but instead Anderson slammed home his first Premier League penalty goal.

  3. Nottingham Forest 3-1 Leeds United: What Dyche and Hutchinson saidpublished at 16:44 GMT 9 November

    Media caption,

    Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche, speaking to BBC Match Of The Day after their 3-1 victory over Leeds: "Very pleased for everyone. The players have spoken openly about going through a lot. They've accepted how we're doing things and have accepted the squad game. They know the fixture list. We should have won in the week but we put that right today.

    "We can't guarantee a quick equaliser but we did it against Manchester United and did it again today. It was good today with the fans playing their part as they so often do here.

    On Omari Hutchinson: "I had already spoken to him but credit to him. I can only guide him in the right direction. The price tag has nothing to do with him. He needs to just enjoy his football. He's done terrific when he came on.

    On Morgan Gibbs-White: "Scored again. That's what you want from the players. He's going about his business. The stories go away and he can relax and carry on. It's professional. Morgan has gone through a bit of noise."
