unfortunately 7 points since sheff game out of possible 18, not promotion form and our annual slump.
To be fair to DF, today he picked a team that most of us wanted and would've picked.
Darlow in goal and gnoto at #10.
Thought Darlow did well and i'd stick with him moving forward, gnoto gamble didn't.
He was ineffective and game passed him by, not his best position, so a no from me.
What is wrong with Rothwell, is he injured, my next team would be same starters but rothwell for gnoto. ( i'd also think about MJ for piroe)
Piroe again poor, he can score but doesn't do much else and now not scoring, thought bamford looked ok.
Great that sheffield lost, keeps it tight and will be more twists and i'm still thinking we will finish in top 2.
Think boro game will suit us and will win, the burnley/ sheff game could be huge in the outcome but still unsure which way we want that to go?
Trying to stay positive MOT.

Rothwell injured .

Something about Rothwell's calf. Not sure how bad but hopefully nothing major. Good post Melbourne well balanced.

Making all these changes for me is ineffective, it still always boils down to the one ingredient that is needed in these run in situations and that is belief.
The pressure is on all three teams and that includes Burnley who had a huge slice of luck to get their win yesterday and will feel the pressure even more being in top spot.
Belief and a dose of good fortune will decide this race, meddling with the match day team won’t make any real difference in my opinion.
I expect the automatic positions to go down to literally the last game of the season, that is for sure in my mind. I think we all better get used to that and to accept and embrace the challenge rather than wanting to believe we are already doomed.
Onwards and Upwards.

I’d give Joe a go at 10 if he’s fit for the next game. Willy was disappointing in that role, even with the double bank of protection behind him. We also missed BA’s energy and pressing in MF, and his tracking back defensively.
There are always implications to be considered, whether positive or negative, when clamouring for changes.

You can’t put a loan fee, or transfer fee value on belief, and yet, 100%, that is pretty much what it’s going to boil down to, yes! Big, biiiig cahones, huuuge. Attitude, pride, passion, drive, determination. Lots of people putting the sole blame at Farkey’s feet for this current position, but it’s at the business end of the season where the onus is on the characters of the players, and can they hack it. Yes, the gaffer has to drill into them all of the positives and support, but they have to have the balls to deliver.

Looking like Rothwell could miss four games. A big blow.

Farke using the same players that have got us into this position and done magnificently all season. Can't suddenly blame Farke for everything.
06 Apr 2025 11:32:59
Magnificently?
Jeez we are 3rd behind the "mighty" Burnley and Blades.
Last season Farkey got out done into 3rd by little ole Ipswich
This is Leeds United! Not Huddesfield
Standards.

Yes. Magnificently. When you account for another closed season of upheaval and the rebuild it required, with minimal investment. Can positive words not be used to describe our gaffer, team, players and club?
