COMMENTARY
Leeds United fans will be feeling pretty confident of making their way into the Championship play-off final after their comfortable 1-0 win over Derby County but there does appear to be one thing which is causing plenty of concern – Pablo Hernandez. The Spaniard if a firm favourite of the Elland Road faithful and after so many top quality performances from both the wing and the midfield you can see why. Unfortunately for the travelling fans to Pride Park, the veteran was some way off the pace against the Rams and you could have quite easily forgotten he was playing at times. It is not like Hernandez to go missing for long periods of a game, especially when there is so much on the line, but Leeds’ big game player was uncharacteristically off colour versus Frank Lampard’s men. The hope will be that he can rediscover his golden touch at home on Wednesday night – if that is the case then you would back Leeds to come through the game comfortably and secure their place at Wembley.

Dallas worked ever so hard and never let us down at LB. Made some positive moves forward too. Probably the quietest game I've seen Pablo play. Our quick passing is too slick for Derby to handle and their defence is shaky under pressure. Bring it on Wed at ER !!

Often worry about what happens when Pablo is off his best. Well, he was well off his best today in terms of chance creation, final ball. & shooting, yet Leeds still looked plenty dangerous while keeping them quiet up the other end. #LUFC

Pablo as bad as I’ve seen him, been awful last few games. We need him to get on this ball and dance like we know he can #lufc
