Farke has only won 4 of his 47 top flight matches away from home, with wolves been one of them.
Every manager he beat was sacked within six weeks.
The exception being when Norwich beat Thomas Frank's Brentford, in which Farke got the sack.
For such a stats based ownership, and for those fans who like to wave away our losses using possession, corner and passing stats, they sure do have a blind spot for away performances.
Regardless of the result on Sunday. Farke should have his contracted terminated.

Regardless of the result?

His stats with Norwich in the Premiership has absolutely no bearing on his situation now, completely different set of circumstances.
What he does at Leeds United is all anyone needs to know in my opinion.
04 Nov 2025 17:54:06
How do they have no bearing?
If all that counts is what he does at Leeds then he needs to go. He has lost four out of five of the last games. Sat too defensively in every game. Started Aaronson in every game. His tactics are poor and in game management non existent.
You're right opti, he should be sacked.

Don't agree OP, that's like saying some pro who tallyed all his full career starts at end of his career could only include appearances from certain leagues
That's not how it works, more so it was what he done at Norwich which most probably got him the job at Leeds
Does he negate the Norwich job from his CV?
Of course he doesn't.

Sorry MoT but that’s not the way I see it.
One he got us promoted and two he’s kept us out of the relegation zone so far. We do not look like a team that can’t compete in this league either, as far as I’m concerned all he needs to do is just keep us in the Premiership.
Of course their maybe fans like yourself that have far higher expectations, the only expectation I have this season is to stay in this league, even if that's by the skin of our teeth.

Op I don't know what football you're watching.
Farke won't keep us up, no chance of it.
My expectations are to play to our strengths and compete in matches. We've been embarrassed recently with the loss to Burnley and the capitulation to Brighton.
When the commentators are laughing and wondering why we're sat so deep against a team without a clean sheet, or why our free kicks and attacking balls go backwards, questions need to be asked.
We can see the enthusiasm drain out of the players and fans every match.
I would love to know what the NPC talking point will be when we're not on 1 PPG in a few matches.
"Just wait until January"
"We're only 18th and two points from safety"
"Bad day at the office, we can pull this off"
"Well, we're relegated but Farke is the best man to get us promoted"
Sing a different song.
Me and Aus have gone from the minority Farke-outters to the ones who look sensible.

In your opinion MoT.

Well lads, for my penny's worth, DF has to adapt and pretty quickly. I still think he can be the right guy, let's face it who would be a viable alternative out there at the moment. But the signs were there against Wet Spam, cruising first half then we just got deeper and deeper, allowed them on to us and therein is the problem, scared football. We have the team to compete but we have to play to our strength and that is pressure in and out of posession.
Saturday was pathetic, there was nothing, it has to be down to DF and his approach to the game, we offered nothing. Florists away is the litmus test, we must compete and believe we can get something or as I said I can see him getting his P45 pretty quick especially if he persists with BA. We are at the moment a shadow of the team when we play away, it's not sustainable.

It's all well and good saying what you're saying Mo, and I don't necessarily, or whole heartedly disagree with you. The main caveat is that I can't see us being able to replace him with anyone who will deliver better! I'm still not aware of anyone who stands out, and won't encounter the same difficulties, challenges and issues, or turn around results AND performances.
So what's the point in spending a load of dosh biffing him, and getting someone who delivers nowt better? He will still have the same squad.

The players didn’t play to as per Farke’s instructions in the second half, so the players must take part of the blame. Players like Ampadu were so off it on that day that they must take responsibility for their lackluster poor performances. It’s too easy just to condemn Farke all the time.
Thinking we are a much better team than we are won’t make them play better and dreaming that a new coach will improve the quality of the players we have is also a misguided belief.
West Ham came into us in the second half and pushed us back because they were chasing the game, don’t be fooled by their current position, they have better quality players in their team than we do. The Newcastle game proves they are not a weak team in free fall with no direction.
05 Nov 2025 08:15:41
Well OP they were the same team we played in the first half, there is a difference between pressuring a team and being allowed to pressure that team, are you suggesting they are a better team when they are losing? There of course is also an argument that being as they were chasing we should have been able to exploit that and hurt them more.
Levels have to be maintained for 90 minutes and a manager should be able to react to what is unfolding and counter it. DF has to raise his in game management IMO.
05 Nov 2025 08:52:24
Op what you're saying is that the players do what they want and Farke can't control them? Not much use as a manager then.
Bright, we won't stay up with Farke, we might stay up with other managers. It's worth the gamble.
Our squad are not firing on all cylinders under Farke. Time for a new manager that can our lads playing to the best of their abilities.
05 Nov 2025 09:16:55
It’s all about opinions Vid, Farke only has the tools he's got to work with, PSR was not so kind to us as it was with Sunderland and our spending didn’t allow us the quality that would give Farke a stronger squad to deal with the highly competitive Premiership.
Every man and his dog right now wants to vent their spleen on Farke and get rid of him but no one has the remotest idea who we could "realistically" attract or afford who has the credentials to steer basically a Championship team away from relegation.
I hear some say, "well that's not our job" well put yourself if you can in the boots of the persons job it is to do that for one moment and ask yourself, who can we replace him with.?
It’s ok for fans screaming for change, but what if it gets worse with some other coach, which has a high probability, what will they say then, we wanted a new coach but you chose the wrong one!
A bit like Bielsa to Marsch scenario, yes by sheer luck and not the great coaching of Marsch did we stay up as the following season we went into free fall with him.
Sometimes fans expectations far exceed the reality of what is actually achievable and by sacking a good coach who got you where you wanted to be and replaced by another coach who perhaps has zero experience with the Premiership or one that has just been sacked and failed at another club believe that is the answer!?
Our away games are important to try to scrape the odd point here and there but our home games are the most important for survival in this league. Can no one see how we performed against Bournemouth, Fulham and even spurs and honestly say we didn’t perform well in those games and actually deserved more points than we got.
My point is not about the points didn’t get or deserve it the fact that our performances equaled or bettered those teams. That says to me that with this coach and the players he has worked with already has the chance to compete in this league and avoid relegation.
Inviting a new coach now to replace Farke for me would be a suicidal action and sign our fate to relegation for sure.
