We looked sluggish today in our third game in six days and Blackburn looking the more energetic with having only played one game in ten.
It was very evident in that first half that they had that little extra on us, no finger pointing at individuals because every player was under par.
I’m not that concerned at the moment but collectively the players have to push themselves to try and edge these type of games even if it’s a draw, fatigued or not, success is only achieved when you push it to the limits.
In Farke we trust, onwards and upwards.

One game in 10 days?
this was Blackburns 2nd game in 4 days
Daju vu performance/ scoreline defeates Leeds under Farke . so often seen previously.

Sheffield United are edging these games m, that is the worry.

OP Farke surely owns a calendar and possesses reasonable understanding of mathematics. Therefore, why didn't he rotate more?
Also why does he insist on playing the ineffectual American headless ??
Go buy Carvalho in January.

George old Boy, I'll say it one more time! Remember the Americans wanted out of Leeds after getting us Relegated. BA wanted no parts of this club but he couldn't find another club to keep him because he is what you said, A headless chicken. DF had no choice but to Promise him a starting spot if not he would have never shown his face at our club again. That is what I believe and I'll stick to it. Please tell me how many games he has started this season so far. Remember he was on the bench the first three games because he arrived back late for pre-season before DF had a meeting with him. From the fourth game on he has started every Game no matter how he's playing. Not saying he hasn't had good games. There you go George!

No way was Aaronson promised a start every game.
I believe I’m fair to all Leeds players but this lad imo is not anywhere the level needed for Leeds even at championship level. I keep hoping every week he can somehow prove me wrong but he just hasn’t got the skills needed to be a number ten.

Cork Hasn't got the skills needed to be a footballer at this level, let alone number 10. Said it for ages. Champion athlete yes but minus the requisite technical skills.
Farke must adopt one of the following solutions:
1. Crew or G in for Roth; Roth takes over from Baracus.
2. Willy in for Baracus; Manor in more regular on wing, Chambers to back up.
3. Byram in for Firpo; Firpo in for Baracus. Before you all flip out, Firpo has demonstrated an ability to make assists more so last season. He might prove useful higher up and could interchange with Willy.
4. Use above as temporary bandaid until you buy a CAM in January.
I prefer option 1.
2 leaves team exposed in case of injury.
3 will be short lived with Byram injury record and Firpo love for yellow cards.
If you take a look at Roth when he was younger playing for Blackburn he'd score a few in a more advanced role bursting with acceleration. He could do a job for a month surely.
Playing Baracus like playing with 10 men or 10 men and a chicken ?.

Farke dosent understand rotation or game management. Clearly failing with easily best squad in the league. Failure. Embarrassing seeing him standing on touchline clueless. Bringing Bambi on is just I don’t know. Moronic.

Agree cork. Reminds me of the kid in class that I always worried had the potential to knock me off top spot but never did. For all his effort he just hasn’t got it.
