Tough going and too many players not good enough and then add FARKE to that and spells trouble.
We go ahead again but don’t look like not letting teams back in, unfortunately we are weak at the back, Rodon is class but seems neither BJ or Struijk good enough, not sure if Bournauw any good but obviously DF doesn’t rate him.
WHAT the answer, do we push AMPS back with Rodon, feel we are set up wrong, shouldn’t play 3 holding/ defensive at home, can understand away but too negative, but do that and get the lead but they still don’t shut up and control MF.
Then the whole constantly starting BA, he is not good enough at this level, works hard but can’t create, can’t stand up and constantly gives ball away.
Should’ve let DF go through international break, need a change now and time with new man to work with squad and then decide what needed in January, may have to sell but need a striker and CMF otherwise we down.

It’s a mess top to bottom.
I can’t see a way to turn things round.
I mean obviously Farke has to go but most of the players aren’t good enough either. Unless new manager can get them punching above their weight. We are in the poo.
I can’t even read media posts about Farke cause he annoys me so much. Unbelievably clueless in every aspect of his job. Been saying since last season amps not good enough.
Add struik, Bijol, ba, Okafor, stach, long, gnonto, James, namecheck, Harrison, dcl and Perri to that too.
I thought the first half was watchable and semi decent effort but then go and throw it away.
How many games have been a got to lose before the owners take their hands out their pockets and point to the door. I mean there’s being patient and giving the manager a crack and there’s pure stupidity.

Well guys I think if you compare the managers yesterday it shows all DFs faults. Villa struggling to make an impact so emery acts at half time, 2 subs, turns the game. DF waits til the 71st minute to put a proper winger on who should have started and leaves Bloody Awful on the pitch. He also hooks his sub Ao who was one of the best players on the pitch. Again going with the same plan in the second half despite the dynamics changing, again leaving it far too late.
The worrying thing is this is not a new development, it seems to be his default setting, the world and its wife could see what was happening but no attempt to change things up when it could have made a real difference. We are now right up pickle Street, so now below the ridiculous anyway point per game stupid philosophy and getting nice an cosy in the relegation zone.

Let's focus on the quality of the players first. One of the eds pointed out correctly that we only actually have 3-4 PL level players. With that in mind, no other manager is going to get a better tune out of that! They performed admirably for 50 mins in H1 yesterday, but lost steam.
How much does biffing Farke cost us? How much will that limit our Jan funds? Does the new gaffer get anymore than a 3 point upturn from any mythical bounce? Which is most important; ditching farke, or improving the playing staff?
24 Nov 2025 09:34:39
Bit of a cop out that imo Brighty, all along it wasn't even constructive to question Farke and his methods, now that we all accepted that is correct,
The narrative has moved tours actually the players making Farke look bad
The state we are in doesn't surprise me in slightest, Play Lewin, Play Baracus, Play Roadrunner and you get what you deserve more often than not
Nothing, Barr a small miracle, it's Champo football again next Seez.
24 Nov 2025 09:35:26
Who are the 3 or 4 players Brighty?
24 Nov 2025 16:23:13
1. Never said the players are making Farke look bad.
2. Bogle, Rodon, Gabby potentially, and Ao potentially. Add Gnonto to that if he stays injury free.
{Ed025's Note - Bogle, Longstaff and Rodon for me, with Struijk a possibility, i have not watched all of the Leeds games in full but what i have seen they are the players i would build my team around, just my opinion of course..
24 Nov 2025 22:05:59
You said to focus. on quality of players we have
Then said no other manager will do better with them
So we are in relegation zone, So whose responsible for that? Your post lays that at players or have I missed something?
Farkes a woeful Prem manager Brighty, no getting away from that now.
25 Nov 2025 07:51:06
Chris. You insinuated that I was defending Farke by blaming the players. That's not the case.
Ill ask you a question now, instead of falling back to tit-for-tat snidey bollox.
Who is going to get more from this squad? Who replaces farke? And be realistic.
And don't give it "that's not my job". Who will come, and who will get this squad to deliver better performances than Sundays first 45 mins AND keep us in the PL, with the limitations we face on spending?

You answered your own question
I am a paid floor layer, sometimes issues arise and things go wrong, even though an architect or engineer criticise the floor, only I am the person tasked with fixing it
Same goes here "" for stats and technology "" procurement team, there zee people on huge coin to analyse the data CORRECTLY not throw up Lewins name and believe he was somehow going to have a road to Damascus moment .
We are seemingly. a professional outfit being ran like a 2 bob Sunday league outfit,
Albeit until we are being asked £7.50 for a bevvy on match day, and nigh on £100 for a shirt
Suddenly we become. very professional then
There's always a better option out there.

A valid outside opinion Ed, and a welcome one. I'm still torn on longstaff, as clearly are others, who were praising him a few weeks ago, but now openly slate him as gash! Some people do forget what they've said in recent past, hope it disappears, then give it the big Felipe Felope!
At least Aus has been consistent.
{Ed025's Note - for me Longstaff has not got much around him Brighty but brings energy and experience and you really need that, but its no use him laying the ball off to players like Amps who will sell him down the river and lose the ball because he needs help in there, by the way its easy to be consistent when all you post is negativity mate, he might as well just copy and paste "get rid of Farke"..
25 Nov 2025 13:20:02
???.

Agree Ed, Longstaff was one of our better acquisitions in the summer, his work rate is second to none. He does need better support though and you’re right, Ampadu looks a million miles off from being a Premiership quality player, Tanaka would be the ideal player in Amps place but I have a feeling Ao is struggling to adapt to the demands of the Premiership and is suffering like some other players of being too eager to impress and not letting his natural game be his guide.
I think Farke had to take him off against Villa as the ref told the bench he was heading for a red card.
