Hearing that Harrison, Struijk and Bamford won’t be playing tonight, does anyone know if there’s any truth in that?
Losing Bamford again could be a big problem for us.
1.) 08 Feb 2023 09:01:04
Don’t think any of them played well against forest prob for different reasons. Harrison cause of deadline day debarked. Struik cause he can’t play well and Bamford not fully fit.
So no surprise if it’s true. Trouble is except for gnonto and wober everyone was crap so be interesting to see.
Worth giving Tyler Weston and maybe gyabi a go.
See what Rutter can do.
Def don’t even have Aron on bench.
2.) 08 Feb 2023 12:50:57
Rodrigo injury remains a disaster
Thank gawd that Brent has gone. worse than the Hock as all time worst Leeds coach.
3.) 08 Feb 2023 13:12:06
I think that’s fair tbh, all 3 were woeful on Sunday, especially Struijk and Harrison, Bamford was very isolated but still had a stinker. Hopefully he starts a solid 3 in midfield with McKennie replacing Jack and Rutter false 9. Suppose Firpo will start LB but can’t be any worse than Pascal has been lately (I’ll regret saying that by 20:05 tonight I’m sure)
4.) 08 Feb 2023 20:20:35
All 3 starting.
5.) 09 Feb 2023 09:03:53

Fake madness, as some posters described him, justified in his actions for subbing Willy against Blackburn. Gnonto was still not fully fit and Farke didn’t want to risk him any longer than he already did.
Don’t be so quick to trash our coaches decisions when we don’t know the reasons behind it.
Gnonto’s impact on these last three games could decide whether we get automatic promotion or not!
1.) 18 Apr 2024 13:58:34
I agree op
But just want him to get it right. No fluffy ups.
Choose the right players for each game.
3 left.
Means.
No Bambi.
Gnonto before Dj.
Roberts before gray.
Firpo before byram.
Field in form uninjured players.
It’s our last chance.
2.) 18 Apr 2024 15:00:43
The Blackburn defeat on Farke.
1.Primarily taking off Gruev leaving Leeds nonsensicaly with no CDM at nil. nil. the Blackburn goal does NOT happen otherwise.
This is NOT just my opinion but many Leeds United content creators opinions Connor McGillgan, Kagey TV etc
2.Balderdash on Gnonto just an excuse. The guy was full of running and looked well peeved to be coming off
3.CR coming off less disastrous than IG in particular. but questionable too.
3.) 18 Apr 2024 17:56:53
Totally what Baz says. Ignore the flannel from LUMP.
4.) 18 Apr 2024 18:48:05
You don’t know your talking about hindsighters,
Your insults are literally water gliding off a ducks back, so glad I’m not a WUM.
5.) 18 Apr 2024 19:09:48
No idea what / who “LUMP flannel” is supposed to be referencing, but I suspect it’s disparaging. Anyhow I agree with your post Aus. My sentiments are the same.
Good points OP. There’s only two reasons Farke did what he did.
1) he knows all of the information about the status of the players
2) he reads these pages and did it to wind up Baz and George.
Pretty sure it’s the first reason.
6.) 18 Apr 2024 19:31:36
Ani
Flannel sounds pretty apt actually
Keeping on the bathroom analogies . these " dodgy excuses " on here are getting more slippery than a bar of Lux soap ? ?.
7.) 18 Apr 2024 19:46:37
My opinions above are also the same opinions of renowned Leeds United content creators
But of course according to you therefore" they don't know what they are talking about either "and are WUMs.
Jeez keep it real OP.
8.) 18 Apr 2024 20:08:57
Whatever Baz, let’s just agree that we disagree with pretty much everything you and I post.
There’s no surprises in that.
Have an erroneously eroding evening.
Had enough of these crap posts, watching the Liverpool game.
9.) 18 Apr 2024 20:45:55
Baz "Keep it real"? His job is to perform the opposite.
10.) 18 Apr 2024 21:01:11
Ani Not disparaging, merely factual.
11.) 18 Apr 2024 21:17:36
George…what the hell does it mean?
12.) 18 Apr 2024 21:42:25
George and Ani I am guessing ? ' LUMP'
might mean
Leeds United Media Propoganda
Or something
Alternatively
Let Us Make Peace ✌️ . maybe.
13.) 18 Apr 2024 22:06:28

14.) 19 Apr 2024 08:06:48
Someone liking his own posts yet again!? ??
And now Farke is pretty much just a liar? It gets funnier with every post now!
15.) 19 Apr 2024 13:29:05
Bright no it seems other posters like George's posts. not that ' likes 'even important nest pas?
don't know why you keep posting this truly lame comment Bright for about 7th time now in less than a year ?.
16.) 19 Apr 2024 13:53:00
Hmmmmm. ???
Counting everything too now fella?

Moving on.
20.) 19 Apr 2024 16:53:09
Sounds like you already have had an enema flush ? with caustic soda grumpy OP lol ?.
21.) 19 Apr 2024 17:00:05
Would that medicinal flushing event take place at Elland Road, not on a matchday but during regular office hours with the soda being purchased locally in the LS11 area by chance?
22.) 19 Apr 2024 17:22:55
Lol OP!
The best, most logical, irrefutable posts do get likes, of course. Not normally do interested. That is why these jump out as utterly laughable sadness! ???.

I would have thought as a guesstimate there are 80 plus registered people on this forum some post comments others don't)
28.) 19 Apr 2024 22:13:48
It would be odd indeed if a 2 times Championship winning manager knew more than a handful of keyboard warriors.
29.) 19 Apr 2024 22:29:02
That was SIX years ago Cuppa . different circumstances, different club etc etc
This time last season DF was getting the ole tin tack after just one season in tne Fatherland. to be far more current up to date fella!
A manager is only as good as his previous match and by general consensus of most of the Leeds United content creators and others DF forked up the Blackburn match with his subs ; lost Leeds the match!
But one doesn't expect you to put your bias to one side and be rational about it Alfie lad! Definitely not. ??.
30.) 20 Apr 2024 07:08:05
So going on a 15 game run of no losses and two of them being draws in the championship isn’t good in your estimation Baz?
Even Pep doesn’t win every game!
Your expectations are completely and utterly delusional, given the fact also Farke is a new coach to the club with some very talented but also very young inexperienced players.
Leeds United do not need non believing fans.
17 Apr 2024 11:51:09
Against Middlesbrough I don’t have a problem with Farke starting Bamford or Piroe, but if we are not in front by h sixty minutes he must give Joseph on.
Overall our problem currently is more to do with confidence, you see that our ball retention and passing is way off our normal game.
I’d also prefer Willy to start as he does posses an extra edge in our attacking flanks.
There no denying that it will be crucial that.
1.) 17 Apr 2024 12:23:20
Willy Gnonto AND Daniel James must start. we must WIN . need goals . and players who do score on pitch
Its a MUST WIN . must score gosls
Mes
Roberts
Rodon
Ampadu
Byram
Gruev
Piroe ( radical but he has 12 goals GK has zero )
DJ
Gnonto ( in. the 10 )
Summerville ( or Anthony )
Joseph
If Summerville isn't on it yet AGAIN . hook him off at HT for Anthony.
2.) 17 Apr 2024 13:09:52
Willy is currently more of a threat than James. James has been back to his head down no idea best since int break. Def Willy on. Gray for Rutter. Nooooooooo Bamford. Rather play cooper up front ?.
3.) 17 Apr 2024 13:23:42
Gray has been awful Aus past games and has zero goal threat
We need goals.
4.) 17 Apr 2024 14:21:16
Yeah. But Rutter has too baz.
I think they both need a rest. I don’t know. So many are tired or out of form.
It’s tough from here.
Not sure what our sub usage is like compared to other 3 but our supposed starting 11 prob reduced to about 4 worthy of a start now.
5.) 17 Apr 2024 15:01:28
Our window of opportunity has passed for automatic promotion! BUT, I believe we win the Playoffs.
6.) 17 Apr 2024 16:14:18
Never write Leeds United off.
We always do things the hard way and that is where we currently are
Middlesbrough like to attack, which should help our attackers to find space and hopefully score
I live up here and everyone keeps saying they will struggle on Monday without Luke Ayling.
7.) 17 Apr 2024 19:40:29
Don't forget Rutter had a serious op during the international break. Its going to be tough to come back from under any circumstances. Hopefully the extended break will help a few reset.
8.) 17 Apr 2024 20:26:34
One of my mates had a hernia operation in December and still feels discomfort now
Rutter was straight back into training and then games
Yes he's an athlete, but he's also a human and most likely feeling niggles.
9.) 17 Apr 2024 20:33:46
I guess it may have not been feasible to delay Rutter surgery until next month.
10.) 17 Apr 2024 22:40:07
Yes I have had hernias and they do take a few months to properly recover from. Obviously Rutter didn't get an NHS special but still. Think the club must have had no choice but to risk it but that situation more than any other has derailed our season.
11.) 17 Apr 2024 23:45:56
Blimey Cuppa you have had a lot of injuries for a whipper snapper :
hernias ( plural ) , ACLs, 2 broken legs, spinal injuries. etc etc.
12.) 18 Apr 2024 07:11:50
Yes 2 hernias but the first when I was 5. Not really spinal injuries more a bad back - add to that 2 fractured arms and I also had a rare problem with a bone slipping out of place in my left hip for which I still have 2 titanium screws within. That was a 2 year revovery as well which effectively killed off my football 'career'. At least if I get murdered and my body is found years later the identification should be fairly easy. Other than that I think I've been injury free.
13.) 18 Apr 2024 11:32:45
Didn't Gray score for us not too long ago?
14.) 18 Apr 2024 15:12:18
No Gray has Zero goals for Leeds Cuppa
Sorry to hear of your lengthy injuires.
15.) 18 Apr 2024 18:02:34
Alf Sorry to read about your injuries. Don't joke about death. Hopefully you'll be around a long time and to witness ??? EPL and CL titles.
13 Apr 2024 20:04:19
It’s going to be a very tight finish, I think most of us already agreed on that a few weeks ago.
The fact that Leeds, Leicester and Ipswich are all having bottling issues is not really a surprise.
Definitely am not losing my head over today’s result, but I do very clearly understand that nerves have got a hold of our team as it has Leicester and Ipswich.
A special note to Optimistic Baz, if Southampton do win all their remaining matches including us at Elland rd then they deserve to go up.
Still think we’ll make it even if it’s play off’s.
1.) 13 Apr 2024 22:31:28
Good balanced post as always mate.
2.) 13 Apr 2024 22:37:38
Yep close finish awaits between 4 teams . Saints have more momentum right now.
10 Apr 2024 19:34:29
Well there we have it, confirmed that Leeds United have received six letters of apology from the PGMOL this season so far and that’s not including the two the club will receive for last night’s appalling refereeing.
That’s the real reason we are not top of the league right now.
{Ed025's Note - fair point OP..
1.) 10 Apr 2024 19:52:13
Can't stand ??.
2.) 10 Apr 2024 20:37:25
So are we the only team in the EFL to receive such letters?
3.) 10 Apr 2024 20:38:35
Last night's blatant handball, the second one, was a stonewaller. Unbelievable it wasn't given.
4.) 10 Apr 2024 21:02:44
And how many letters have other teams received Leicester, Ipswich Saints is the pertinent question?
5.) 10 Apr 2024 21:59:18
Not getting one stonewall penalty in any match is hard to swallow, but two in the same match smacks of something more than just refereeing errors. Especially when you see the positioning of the referee in both incidents. And the linesman, or should I say assistant referee had an even better view of the tugging on Rodon and handball by O’nien for the the second penalty shout. If Don Goodman says that they were both penalties, then you know something isn’t right. Shocking officiating.
6.) 10 Apr 2024 22:00:00
Who cares? Your sentiment is obviously against Farke
and anything that that might be a reason for not winning a game is solely his fault.
You are very one dimensional in your opinions.
It’s my way or the highway with you Baz.
Strangely enough Lucky Ipswich were unable to beat Watford tonight, that must mean McKenna has got it all wrong with his selection and tactics. !
Bit like Farke eh Baz?
7.) 10 Apr 2024 22:41:31
OP All managers make mistakes. Can you guarantee we'll trounce Blackburn 5-0?
8.) 10 Apr 2024 22:53:11
Err so if Ipswich have 8 PGMOL apology letters?
9.) 10 Apr 2024 22:55:51
Don’t ask me BobbyK, do some research mate and find out.
10.) 10 Apr 2024 23:29:15
George I’ll leave the 5-0 wins for Baz to predict.
Baz find out for yourself instead of making moronic and unintelligent suggestions.
11.) 10 Apr 2024 23:46:01
Stoke were robbed of a goal for and a pen against tonight another show of poor reffing. What are ref assistants for? They never seem to intervene.
12.) 11 Apr 2024 03:38:04
As per your request OP, I have done my research / investigative journalism.
EFL head office of Supremo Greg Dyke have confirmed that Ipswich have been sent EIGHT letters of apology from PGMOL
So your theory is debunked.
13.) 11 Apr 2024 04:28:45
* Rick Parry and ( ex Leeds Chief Executive) Trevor Birch of EFL.
14.) 11 Apr 2024 06:40:31
Don’t know where you found that information Baz?
Sure you’re not making that up to suit your agenda?
15.) 11 Apr 2024 06:50:27
Their letters were apologising for their crap fans tho Baz……ours were only for poor ref decisions!
I think it’s time the Refs and liners were fully mich’d up, like the Rugby. Let’s hear what they are saying, and get a sense of whether they are intelligent enough, or observant enough, to even work as quality control at a chocolate fire guard factory, let alone referee matches where £’s millions are on the line!

4.) 10 Apr 2024 15:30:41
Op… that picture was never a foul,
Mind you the bloke kicking bamford wasn’t a second yellow
The stone wall foul wasn’t a pen
And the bloke jumping up and punching the ball was not hand ball so what do you expect
Farke out… if he can’t get at least three pens a game he needs to go. Playing 12 men is no excuse!
5.) 10 Apr 2024 17:50:54
That particular photo was not a foul but it’s the grappling and the pulling down our players that the image was supposed to portray.
I think rubbishing the players and the coach as if they didn’t care and not giving 100% is thing that I don’t like.
The international break brought injury, fatigue and disappointment back to the club with several of our players.
It hasn’t helped us at this crucial part of the season.
When slagging off certain players and our coach, just remember it was the same players and coach that produced that amazing record breaking run from the 1st January.
6.) 10 Apr 2024 18:26:20
Great post OP, in addition to your words I would like to add say, look at the players, Georginio, Cry, Gnonto, DJ and Bam Bam when they keep getting fouled, they look frustrated and angry at constantly being man handled and brought down, they do care and they do hurt if we don’t win! They constantly ask the ref to do something but it’s always put down to our player moaning, then when we get a valid claim for a penalty it’s overlooked because of the amount times we moan at the ref, this really is a valid point and it’s noted that when we are allowed to play football we are superb but this is what happens when we can’t, it must be so frustrating playing football agains rugby teams! ?.
7.) 11 Apr 2024 00:56:14
OP What do you expect from a club who has a player called Huggins (who we should have kept) ? ?.

Impossible to predict any results now. Coventry have just as much chance to beat Ipswich. As Middlesbrough proved, you don’t have to have anything to play for to put out a big performance.
In fact the more the importance, more the pressure and nerves.
Leicester could although unlikely, lose their last two games!
When you are behind, as we are in the table, the psychological point is that we have nothing to lose, to protect your higher position, you have everything to lose.
The strength is in the attack not in the defense, so to speak.
24 Apr 2024 13:08:10
Exactly my point Baz, 2 of those results were 4 years ago.
5-0 thrashings are rare for Leeds.
24 Apr 2024 07:31:33
Agree with that Chris, had Mez not saved that shot and it wasn’t easy as his view was blocked, we might have been out of the auto chance.
Yes he didn’t have a great game this time but typical narrative from Baz who knows zilch about goalkeeping.
24 Apr 2024 06:10:43
Thé 5-0 thrashing as you call it Auntie Baz was in reference to your wild and totally unrealistic score prediction that we would beat Preston 5-0 nil.
How many times have Leeds won 5-0 in recent seasons Baz.
No often.
Ho hum.
24 Apr 2024 06:07:31
Is that your final prediction Baz that we will finish 2nd or 3rd? Are you absolutely 100% sure about that, with 2 games to go.
