In what was a disappointing result against Nottingham Forest, Leeds’ Pablo Hernandez didn’t enjoy the greatest of times.
The Spaniard isn’t currently in the greatest of form at the moment, with his blank against Forest taking him to just one goal in his last eight games in the league.

One supporter in particular pointed to one particular moment in the first-half when he misplaced a simple pass.
Make no mistake about it, if Leeds are to secure promotion to the Premier League for next season, they are going to need some major goal contributions from those who play behind the striker.
