We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's 3-1 win at Derby in the third round of the FA Cup.

Here are some of your comments:

Stewart: Excellent second half performance and it was nice to see players coming back from injury and non-regular starters getting a run out. Good that James Justin scores to settle the match. Hopefully we can get a good draw in the next round.

Robert: Most FA Cup games are banana skins to us, but this one was reasonably comfortable. Joel Piroe had a great game, but not his day. Enjoyable game.

Eric: Good win in the end. Thought that Leeds looked too slow in first half and would have put money on Piroe tucking that penalty away. It was probably down to his lack of game time. We came out much better in second half and deserved the win. Disappointed with Noah Okafor's performance. He lost too many one-on-one's, but in the end we just had a bit too much quality. Looking forward to seeing who we get next.

Paul: Our recent run of form showed the confidence the team now has. I'm hopeful now, whether we have an FA Cup run or not, these boys will truly focus on the Premier League and a mid-table finish is definitely possible. MOT.

Thomas: Leeds can make hard work of these so called easy games. Tucking away a penalty would have given them a platform to make things so much smoother. But I think winning the game and getting players' minutes on the pitch overrides the negatives. A nice rest now until next weekend's fixture.

Andrew: If we had lost, we wouldn't have lost any sleep over it, but I think winning games breeds momentum and confidence. Game time for players with not many league minutes is massively important because everyone will be needed as the season wears on. We dominated Derby so a great win.
