In the end a good draw against a very dirty Huddersfiels. DF is certainly climbing up as high as Marcelo in my estimation however I have to say that his substitions were good, but not perfect. I can't believe that, when chasing goals, he brings on Piroe (who is in a slump) and omits joseph (who must be bouncing) Still I suppose every manager has his favourites and to underline his lack of form the only time he threatened was when he woefully missed the cross that Paddy scored.
I say it all the time; just hope that he will just take a season to settle.
More now in hope than expectation.

Farke far surpasses Bielsa. When farke took it ber we was in chaos. Losing players on loan, not getting in replacements, the list goes on
Farke has turned us around. Every player he has brought has been great so far, even pirlo has scored enough to be considered good.
Record equalling run, playing great football with out the Bielsa mistakes.
Let’s remember a few facts. Bielsa threw away promotion twice in record breaking fashion. Farke outclassed him the same season with a weaker team. This season has four very strong championship clubs. And frake is the beat manager this leauge has ever seen, that’s a fact on points which is what matters
I can’t wait till we forget the manager who had four years abd 100s of millions to turn us into a laughing stock week in week and and we start fully getting behind our current manager who far outclasses him in every aspect.

Jimmy should have been subbed, he is really not on his game at present, and I don't know if it's just me but his body language appears disinterested. Have to say though, DF is foing an amazing job, I would just like Ipswich to bugger off for 3 games.
03 Mar 2024 12:42:37
Good post Bermo, Farke is doing a sterling job and I am enjoying this season far more than the last few.
03 Mar 2024 12:56:41
Has Farke got us promoted berm?
Or is that not something you respect?
Weird post of the oracless.
03 Mar 2024 13:01:25
Berm do you just copy paste your gazillion identical KP rants and Bielsa rants?
03 Mar 2024 13:14:08
Summerville off it for several games Dougie . agree about his body language and appearing disinterested.
03 Mar 2024 13:55:33
Aus biesla didn’t get us promoted in his first season giving farke a season and a half to go and I fancy he will do it.
Plus farkes hand far worse than Belisas.
Gaz sorry I can’t understand your post, I find it hard to follow your tractor boys accent.
03 Mar 2024 14:19:38
Why would he be disinterested?
More like peed off being fouled every time his has the ball by a couple of Neanderthals.
Just nonsense posting to claim that he looks disinterested in playing a football game for Leeds Utd to win promotion.
03 Mar 2024 16:30:06
OP I agree it’s not in his best interest to be disinterested it’s likely he will move on end of season and will be looking for his future club. DF made a big mistake with his team selection Joseph should have been instead of Bam bam, James and Connor should have started.
03 Mar 2024 16:31:04
OP . players losing focus, more interested by their next transfer move happens at times
It happened to half our team last season at the Palace home game and then the rest of season
Hence that notorious Cooper quote.
03 Mar 2024 16:37:25
Chill out OP just and observation. If you think he looks interested then that's OK, but I would definitely beat you at poker. All I am saying is his body language doesn't appear very positive at the moment, and he is off his game.
03 Mar 2024 16:38:48
Dougie and Baz His "disinterest" (inaccurate evaluation) likely borne out of self preservation (otherwise known as being cautious or playing within yourself) due to a probable combination of lethargy and carrying a knock (or two) .
03 Mar 2024 17:19:11
George are you Jimmy's agent? ?
Let's all have a beer and agree jimmy should be rested!
03 Mar 2024 17:27:53
Very well said Dougie
George. if that is so then DF should consider dropping him to bench as he isn't much use currently.
03 Mar 2024 17:42:41
Thanks Baz me old mate?.
03 Mar 2024 17:59:04
I think cree is finding this year of being constantly kicked by rough championship defences a bit bruising.
I think sometimes in tight games like the other day he can be a bit predictable. He nearly always comes in on his left. Huddersfield doubled up on him and he just didn't get a clear chance. I think as he gets older he will vary his game more. Maybe he should have tried from the right a bit.
03 Mar 2024 19:16:06
Should always be cautious when playing with yourself as George says. Particularly when the wife could walk in at any minute. ?.
03 Mar 2024 19:56:10
Dougie He wishes lol. Seriously, he's my favorite player and I think he's a very nice young man too. My knees would turn to jelly if I met him. Hope we never sell him.
03 Mar 2024 20:09:01
Sadly I think he will be gone in the summer, promoted or not. I hate to use this terminology but one of the so called big guns will come in, and I mean that financially, not that they are bigger or better than my beloved LUFC.
03 Mar 2024 20:00:41
Baz I would've rested him for dog botherers. No point him playing when the opponent thinks they're playing rugby. I'd have actually deployed Willy on the left for the canine game with DJ on the right. If teams want to "play" direct, I'll give them Farking direct. That Hogg for them made me ??.
03 Mar 2024 22:09:28
Not havin’ a go at you personally Dougie, I thought most of our team especially in the first half played tentatively and perhaps very frustrated by Hudds game plan.
I will say when Jimmy hit the post with his strike in the second half he looked like he really was frustrated that his effort didn’t go in, could have been the match winner.
You give Jimmy half a chance he’ll bury it, he won’t be marked and fouled by multiple opposition players every game, like he was in that one.
I don’t think we should forget he is our top goal scorer, resting him as some have mentioned would be a bad idea. Don’t think Farke will be dropping him either.
04 Mar 2024 01:27:09
OP Rest him just for another hour. Bring him off bench against tired legs. He won't get fouled as much then.
04 Mar 2024 06:50:54
Farke gave him a rest against Chelsea, you can’t keep resting him all the time, he’s too important for us in our promotion push.
He will always be a target for the opposition because he’s such a threat.
His contribution could be the difference to us getting promoted or not.
04 Mar 2024 18:11:01
OP Didn't say all the time. I'd rest and bring him off the bench for next 2 games only then give him the berth for the remnant 9 game run in.
