OPINION

Leeds United continued their promotion charge on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Bolton, and to be quite honest, it was a good day all round for the entire team.

Hardly anyone put a foot wrong on Saturday, and that even includes on-loan winger Jack Harrison, who does not usually impress the masses of Whites supporters on a weekly basis, in fact, he disappoints them more often than not.

However, he looked completely transformed in this win – his abundance of energy made up for the lack of quality final balls from out wide, and he even forced a fantastic save from the Bolton goalkeeper just before half time.

Whether he maintains this level of play remains to be seen, but it is promising to see him improve so much after putting out some abysmal displays lately – so the fans will no doubt have their fingers crossed that he can keep this up for the season run-in.

It will no doubt give him the world of confidence to go on and impress further after this outing, so now he has to prove that he is worthy of extending his stay at Elland Road by making an impact on the remaining results.

Overall, he provided more of a threat up front than he usually does, and did this at a crucial time when the likes of Kemar Roofe are sidelined for six to eight weeks.

He is demonstrating that he is worthy of a place in the starting XI on a regular basis, and his turn of form is only good news for boss Marcelo Bielsa.

The 22-year-old is more than capable of churning out excellent performances and Saturday has just reinforced that, so fingers crossed that this was a turning point for him.

One thing is for sure though, the flyer certainly turned a corner against Bolton – and many Leeds fans will surely be cheering as a result.
