So Stuart has been speaking about his injury and recovery whilst commentating on NI.
Stating that he is aiming for the end of the season to be involved playing.
Myself I cannot see dallas making any more meaningful contributions in a leeds shirt.
I am thinking if we go up his contributions would only be as a fill in player at best.
I think like ayling he would be more suited to a lower league where he would get more minutes.
It would be a shame if he can get fit after 2 years to sit on our bench.
I don't like it but I've said it now.

That is not confirmed yet Baz so donā€™t be worrying too much! Gruev has hurt his ankle but has light trained today, but we do have Jayden who can fit in nicely, Georginio has trained already and he is 50/ 50 for Friday with DF hopeful, we do have Piroe, Willy has a hamstring issue but not as bad as first thought but we have the amazing DJ so no worries there and Roberts was taken off as a precaution but if not fit we have Byram, and to be honest if Firpo is fit we could put young Archie up with Camara, so itā€™s not that bad, yes if we were playing Leicester or one of those top teams I would be a bit worried but we are playing Watford, so for me we are still more equipped to beat them even with some first team players out of action, so chill Baz my mate! šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘.

You agree Baz?

Itā€™s a very versatile squad Corky. Iā€™ve previously admired the way we have recruited and promoted players who are more than capable in more than one position. Itā€™s a wise approach to managing ffp, and squad size.

27 Mar 2024 14:58:21
Baz, you used to blame the kit for away defeats, but thatā€™s not applicable anymore is it, now itā€™s Piroe! I think your predictions are tight seeing as though Leicester have had players on international duty and they play before us, Ipswich the same and Southampton too, so itā€™s definitely a tough call. Iā€™m with OP and Dill on this because, Piroe is a good player, he just needs to find a balance and due to our front four flying at the moment he hasnā€™t been able to put right his poor displays. Yes extra time could have been done without in Wales but these are super fit players and Rodon and Ampedu will be super up for this because they will not want 2 disappointments in four days. Then thereā€™s DJ, well there are plenty of world class players miss penaltyā€™s and itā€™s never a problem unless your name is Patrick Bamford! Finally forget Leicester and their points deduction because it is NOT happening this season but what could happen is that their heads could wobble because of it all, so let them get on with it. We have 12 wins and 1 draw in 13, that tells me that we will beat Watford but I think there will be significant points dropped by our nearest and dearest over Easter starting on Friday, also and most importantly Connor Roberts still has his moustache on which is still working well because he is still undefeated while heā€™s had because although Wales got beat he was substituted before the penalty shootout! So come on Baz show some optimism and stop looking for the negatives, you just might start enjoying your weekends again! lol šŸ˜‚ Super Leeds - Prediction is Watford 1 - 4 Leeds United, DJ scores a brace šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘.

27 Mar 2024 15:20:44
Woody . does Piroe fit a DF system and especially away from home? Results suggest not so much ;

watching Piroe play away from home, very slow, hardly involved, especially the December matches feels like Leeds have 10 men at times on pitch and more likely to concede / lose .

Woody : so what's your score predictions then for Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton matches?

Agree0 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 15:52:01
With Baz on this insofar as it relates to Piroe but don't see anything other than a victory against Watford even if Piroe plays the 90. Unfortunately it is conceivable we can drop points against Hull.

Agree2 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 15:56:24
Predicting Leeds get a draw away ( a la Rotherham, Huddersfield, Hull ) : shock, horror. how dare one! šŸ˜€

Berm rather than continually focus on your obsession Bielsa ( and KP )

it would be more apt to compare your fave Farke and his EPL squad with McKenna and his L1 squad

Facts are comparably McKenna is considerably overperforming with the squad he has ; McKenna doing ( far) better than Farke this season if one tries to be impartial no Leeds United bias

Honestly.

Agree0 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 16:25:23
How is McKenna doing FAR better than DF Baz? We are above Ipswich, weā€™ve beaten them twice 3-4 and 4-0 so that statement to me is ludicrous! I totally agree with your overachieved statement but far better than DF, really? On Piroe. Why would DF go for him if he didnā€™t fit into his plans? In all truth I think we went for JP in case Bamford never came back to full fitness, but he did and heā€™s on a good enough run to keep JP out, but next season I think Bam Bam will be gone and we will look at Piroe stepping up with young Joseph in the wings, just my opinion though, this does not mean Iā€™m right and everyone else is wrong! Baz can you remember what you predicted for Leeds scores for the last 13 league games? Itā€™s just you always seem to be playing the over cautious card, live a bit, go for a 6-0 Leeds win, through caution to the wind and get that Friday feeling flowing through those ice cold veins mate! šŸ‘šŸ‘.

Woody au contraire my Ikea lurking Woody . I have gone plenty of Monte Carlo style Leeds United big wins in 2024 .5 nil, 4 nil,3 nils. OP will confirm as he reminds me about em

As for Farke vs McKenns

Same points bar one point

EPL squad vs L1 squad

Farje has Rutter Ā£ 35 million transfer fee player . and numerous others

. McKenna signed players in summer totalling less than Ā£4 million in transferbfees.

Agree0 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 19:09:31
Ipswich's so called league one squad currently got 4 players on loan from premiership teams.
International players from Wales, Nigeria, Australia, Egypt, Ecuador, and Jamaica.

Plus others with premiership and championship experience.

YES, they doing brilliant and all respect to them for that.
If Ipswich get up into the premiership this season how many of their current team will play, won't their owners spend on better players? . No guarantee to stay up but surely if relegated they will have a better squad than most championship teams.

Don't get the fascination with Ipswich and McKenna, more than happy with Leeds Utd and Farke.

Agree3 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 19:10:33
Baz I know your predictions are spot on sometimes but this McKenna v DF is bordering on ridiculous! Ipswich have Moore up front on loan, and they have many players who are sought after, so they are far away from being a League One team! Yes Leeds have Georginio Ā£35M but he was bought in the premiership and he was doing nothing and I mean nothing, we nearly let him go to Dortmand but thankfully we didnā€™t, but DF has turned him, DJ, Willy, Archie, Meslier and Bamford into great players again, he brought Byram in, Anthony in, Roberts in and along with Cry who wanted to leave, he has worked wonders, you have to admit you donā€™t have to give much motivation to (like you said a League One team) searching for the promised land, no, but to a team of ex premier league players who think they are to good for the Championship with the price tags they have takes a lot of man management and with all the loan leavers at the beginning of his tenure shows his level of management, plus there is the small matter of DF pulling back a 17 point deficit, I canā€™t recall McKenna and Ipswich having any of those problems. DF head and shoulders above McKenna and heā€™s not an ex Devon melt eh! So give your head a shake my fellow IKEA shopper, what ever that is? lol šŸ˜‚ šŸ‘.

Agree1 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 19:17:00
McKennaā€™s done well with what heā€™s got but all will be for nothing if he doesnā€™t make promotion after all this massive over achieving this season. For the moment McKennaā€™s stock is very good but if they donā€™t make it to the Premiership this season they will most certainly in my opinion have nowhere near the success next season . Just as much as his success this season has made his stock very high right now, he might be absolutely pants in the Champo next season and probably will be if he stays.

You can only judge Farke and McKenna, who is the better at the end of this season.
Donā€™t forget Farke and Leeds were a huge 17 points behind Leicester in top spot and where are we now?
Donā€™t underestimate Farkes achievements this season so far.

Agree3 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 19:34:46
Well said OP we are on the same page, I think WE are overachieving measured with the start we had mixed with all the loan problems and players not wanting to play for us, DF has done a remarkable job and IMO heā€™s connected with the fans probably more than Bielsa did! Brave statement on here I know but Iā€™ve got my bunker door open ready! lol šŸ˜‚ MOT šŸ‘.

Agree2 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 19:56:04
Mckenna has done a brilliant job at Ipswich. He has built a strong tight squad and he has rode the winning wave from last seasons promotion and continued it all season. They have a certain way of playing and have been quite lucky with injuries they have not missed important players.
Farke has done well getting the team playing well and closing the gap to the top. Mckenna has done well keeping a lesser team at the top all season.
I would say our calibre of player means our appearance at the top a little less surprising.

Agree0 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 19:58:07
Mezzer . most of the Ipswich L1 players remain

Plus they signed, Jack Taylor from Peyerboro, George Hirst from Leicster and Al Hamadi from Wimbledon total arounf Ā£4 millionn

Yes the loan in. Jan of Kieffer Moore was a very good one, Hutchinson from Chelsea decent

They are certainly overachieving.

Agree1 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 20:04:33
OP your critique of McKenna ' it will all be for nothing if he doesn't get promotion '

you can copy and paste for Farke

Frankly if ' (previously L1) Ipswich finish in top 2 ' . it will be more than a tad embarrassing for 2 of (previous EPL) Leicester, Leeds and Southampton management.

27 Mar 2024 20:25:23
They carried on with their promotion momentum, most teams do, obviously theyā€™ve exceeded that bounce more than most teams would. Theyā€™ve gone behind in most games and have been very fortunate to make second half last minute winning recoveries with a large pinch of luck. Conceding as many goals as they have is not a good sign of a team doing very well, as Iā€™ve said, a lot of good fortune involved with their victories and having little to no injuries also a tad fortunate.
Their style of play has been very borderline as far as the rules go, Championship refs being very lenient on fouls and time wasting has been in their favour also.
Basically theyā€™re getting away with one in a number of their games.

Agree1 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 22:25:53
God baz give it a rest

Itā€™s leeds forum rather than bang on about another team letā€™s talk leeds

Farke outdid Belisa when Belisa was manager of leeds costing us promotion

Then Belisa got leeds upā€¦farke doing better this season than Belisa did when we went up

Letā€™s all love farke and leave it there!

All leeds are we! Ainā€™t we baz?

27 Mar 2024 23:22:37
No matter what happens McKenna is manager of the season. If Leeds get 100 plus points and get promoted above Ipswich itā€™s still the same outcome. Heā€™s done an unbelievable job. All this bull that they had momentum, do me a favour. How many Ipswich players would get in the Leeds side? Not many!
Not knocking Farke by the way.

28 Mar 2024 07:15:23
Heā€™s done a good job, yeah. Good for him.
Donā€™t get this outpouring of praise for him tho, as personally, I donā€™t give a cack about him or his team unless they are losing. Farke has tactically outmanoeuvred him twice, and he looked bemused and clueless both times, which was hilarious.
Iā€™ve said it before, if they donā€™t go up, they will fall apart next season, and I still wonā€™t give a cack about him, or them.

Agree2 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 10:35:25
Suggest you rewatch Ipswich 3 vs Leeds 4 . no way did DF " tactically outmanoevre" anyone that match. Ipswich dominated possession, had 23 shots and but for poor finishing should have scored 7 .

Leeds for once were fairly clinical with their chances and Sinistera was the difference who was was far too good for Champo.

Agree0 0Disagree

28 Mar 2024 10:38:07
Same also could be said of LUFC . if Leeds don't go. up they likely ' fall apart next season " . losing many players.

100% Bright, i can tell you blokes who feel itā€™s necessary to put McKennaā€™s performance as coach ahead of Farkeā€™s, we probably wouldnā€™t even be in the top six it wasnā€™t for his skillful coaching tactics and dealing with the messy aftermath of all those loan clause traitors
Iā€™m just amazed by some peopleā€™s opinions on this subject,
Well never mind, each to their own.

Back to club football on Friday

IF no Gio it's a big problem and today's Wales 120 mins a potential energy sapping issue for Rodon and Amps

Watford rarely score more than a goal a game recently

Think Leeds will drop crucial points

Watford 1 vs Leeds 1

Bristol City 0 vs Leicester 1

Blackburn 1 Ipswich 2

Southampton 2 Boro 1.

Agree0 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 04:12:24
Watford have lost 6 of last 9 games, conceded 13 goals and scored only 8.

Leeds have won 12 of 13, going unbeaten in that run and scoring 28 and conceding only 2 goals.

I'll go with our form instead of predicting something going completely against the form guide of both teams.

Leeds to win 2-0.

Agree3 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 05:13:49
Let's hope you are right Dill; a lot may depend on team line up and freshness of players

Sometimes also form guide is totally ripped up.

E. g.

Saints lost FOUR matches in a row before beating Leeds United

And

Before beating Leeds United 2 1; Preston previous seven matches Won 1 Draw 1 Lost FIVE.

Agree0 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 05:50:34
It might be a game too soon for Rutterā€™s full recovery so I think Piroe will deputize in his place. The Welsh boys will have to get over their disappointment, side before self. We absolutely battered Watford last time we played them with Piroe scoring in the game and I think he will again.
No reason to see anything but a victory in my eyes.
Ipswich had a tough time with Blackburn at Portman Rd and only just edged that game. Also Kiefer Moore will have tired legs as well, their luck has to end somewhere.
Leicester with bad recent form and points deduction could continue to curtail their season. Southampton not in the race.

2-1 Leeds. Our Welsh contingent will be fine, but I do hope that DJā€™s thriving confidence hasnā€™t taken a hit? Duff move by Page to restrict his impact after CR got a knock. Dan couldā€™ve taken that game for them. Anyone got news on CRā€™s injury?

Agree1 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 07:24:03
We kick off later than everyone else too, so more rest for the lads that played ET last night. Plus, I would like to think the lads are professional enough to not let an international game that's totally independent from their club football impact their club match. Hope so anyway. DJ should realise he's in the form of his life at club level and that miss has no bearing on Friday.

Agree1 0Disagree

27 Mar 2024 07:34:04
Bit early to tell CRā€™s injury yet, his lucky tash evidently not working for Wales, hopefully thatā€™s different for Leeds though. Reports are saying itā€™s a knock but we will soon find out the extent of that very soon Iā€™m sure.
Archie will be there to save the day if itā€™s more than a knock.

27 Mar 2024 11:23:46

Question lads. Should Leicester be docked the points this season or next, if they are to be punished?
Would you be happy potentially getting promoted on the back of their points deduction?
Would our promotion be devalued?
To me this whole points deduction, of whatever team, is a farce the way it is being implemented.

Agree0 0Disagree

25 Mar 2024 20:13:35
What I will say is that essence of the sport of football that once in the main mostly flourished 40/ 50/ 60;years ago has been very sadly diminished ever since.

Leicester will get a points deduction from EPL if/ when they get promoted.

Agree1 0Disagree

Correct alternative is Willy at 10, DJ on the right. Keep Arch where he is for now.

Agree0 0Disagree

25 Mar 2024 17:53:47
I think youā€™re right Woody as I think Piroeā€™s stronger (physically) than putting Summerville in at 10, although Jimmy would create more, scare them more.
And we have plenty on the wings with Gnonto and DJ but I think Piroe will get the nod.

Most importantly hope we donā€™t risk Gio unless we are absolutely certain heā€™s fit to play, better to miss the one game than the rest of the season.

Agree1 0Disagree

25 Mar 2024 18:03:38
If GR is not fit . then a front 4 of DJ WG CS and PB .4 players who score

and DJ in particular tracks back very well too

Big NO to starting Piroe. we may lose if we start him.

Leeds are more defensively susceptible to conceding when Piroe plays. as he does not track back that much / nor defend effectively when Leeds don't have ball.

I believe all SIX of Leeds United away defeats Piroe has started.

Agree0 0Disagree

25 Mar 2024 19:07:44
It would be interesting to see how Bamford and Piroe link together as I don't think we have seen that combo yet.

Agree1 0Disagree

25 Mar 2024 19:27:24
The thing is Baz, while I understand what youā€™re saying, the question is then, what is Piroe doing at Leeds? He has to get some playtime because he will just drift into the reserves and I donā€™t want to see that as I think he has a lot to offer, he can score but like you say he has problems tracking back and his passing leaves something to be desired, but back to match practice makes perfect mate, heā€™s got goals in him, if heā€™s picked then he needs to make it count because it would help in Georginioā€™s recovery, as Class so rightly said we canā€™t rush him back. A good Piroe gives us lots of options which is what we need šŸ‘šŸ‘.

Woody . the thing is with just 8 games remaining Farke can't afford to get this team selection wrong . so much at stake

Time for Farke to really prove he is a very good manager and win a match (es) in Champo without Ā£35 million Gio

Piroe on bench

Sell Piroe in summer.

If Piroe starts as target man up front then he has no need to track back. Bamfordinho can play off him.
Baz, how many of those six away defeats with Piroe playing support striker and Gio player target man?

ILK . Piroe was the " support striker" to Rutter in five of those defeats

Sunderland Stoke Southampton Preston West Brom.

Bamford was on bench in every match.

To win AWAY Leeds needs PACE on counter attack especially.

I would not start slow Piroe at all, even up front.

Speedy DJ, WG and CS must ALL start to win a MUST WIN match along with Bamford up top.

Piroe on bench.

Hopefully DF doesn't farke it up.

I like pirlo he has scored enough and done wellā€¦ he donā€™t always look like he is trying but he does a jobā€¦ I donā€™t get the stick he gets from a decent amount of our fans?

What Baz says. Piroe is a sub. Doesn't bring to the team what others do. He's a confusing player because he's neither a 9 nor a 10.

JP will get the nod obviously, given that where he is regularly subbed on. I reckon he will get 60 mins, before Archie switches into there, and Roberts comes on at RB. This is what will happen if Gio isnā€™t fit in time. (I think he will be fit; heā€™s a young lad, and the procedure was supposedly just a couple of internal stitches to close a vary small hernia) .
Is that what we would want to see? Probs not. JP and Gio are totally different players, but each with something to offer. JP can hit the target for starters! šŸ˜œšŸ¤£.
