Forshaw made his first league start in over two years for Leeds against Leicester at Elland Road on Sunday and helped the side to a hard-fought 1-1 draw.
The 30-year-old impressed for the Whites on the afternoon and some Leeds fans have taken to social media to express their delight at his performance.

Jon is happy to see Forshaw’s critics backpedalling following his display against the Foxes and admitted that the midfielder has surpassed the Leeds fans’ expectations.
John M Wilson hailed Forshaw’s performance against Brendan Rodgers’ side as brilliant and pointed out how he did not write himself off when many others did.
Jake insisted that the Englishman deserves respect for producing a good performance against a team like Leicester after being out for so long.
Pete hailed Forshaw’s performance against Leicester on Sunday as unbelievable and also reserved praise for his reading of the game and composure.
Chris is of the view that the former Middlesbrough star was immense for the Whites in midfield against the Foxes and explained that he was his man of the match by some distance.
Ad Lee lauded Forshaw for the hard work he has put in to return to action and pointed out how the midfielder looked like he was back at his best at the weekend.
Adam hailed Forshaw for returning to his best after going through so much adversity and insisted that there is no limit to his stardom at Elland Road if he stays fit.
Josh is aware that Forshaw could have injuries before now and the end of the season, but feels having him back available could have a transformational effect on Leeds.
Love the backpedaling from our fanbase on this one.
Adam Forshaw has surpassed all our expectations upon his recovery and is the composure we’ve needed in the center of midfield https://t.co/VKfT9TCe1H

To have as long out as he has and then come and put a performance like that on in the Premier League against a very good side deserves respect. Adam Forshaw, take a bow! #lufc

Still absolutely buzzing about Adam Forshaw yesterday. I’m sure he’ll pick up knocks this season. He always has done with us and it’s gonna take him a while to get up to playing multiple matches in a row but having him in midfield could have a transformational effect
