What to with Farke?
Last season coming out of the Championship was very much as it is now.
Stick to the plan get results and don't deviate from the plan.
Even when we were dominating teams.
I can sort of get it this end part of the season as we are not in good run so staying tight and grinding results out is probably as much as we can hope for.
But there has been a bit of change from Farke this season. A few tweaks to formation and tactics. At times we have looked a decent Prem team and dominated Prem teams. We have struggled at times with the extra quality of the Premiership but apart from the very top teams we have not looked out of place.
One thing that Farke and his team has done well and I don't think it's given credit it deserves is the recruitment.
Bijol. Stach. Gabbi. Nmecha. Dcl and keeping him fit. And a few from last season. All have proved solid players and could develop into real Leeds legends.
I think right from day one with the signing of amps his pick of player has been spot on. Maybe just an extra striker would have been nice.
I have never really been a great fan of Farke. I have found some of his tactics frustrating over his time. He is always holding back and doesn't react to what is going on in the game. But I think he has got better this season and his choice of player has almost been spot on every time.
It's not the Leeds way to play negative football.
Farke has got us in the Prem and we have a good chance of staying here and with good recruitment for next season which he's proved he can do then he probably should be given the opportunity to continue. We are a good Championship team transitioning into a Premier League team we need a steady hand.
Farke definitely is steady.

That's an excellent write up, Ben. Just dunno why it's been biffed to a page that very few read?

If Leeds stay up.
It would be just about fair enough to retain Farke (and very sure our (easiest choice) owners would do so) .
If we go down (now a 50/50 chance, in my opinion) .
I predict our (easiest choice) owners also keep Farke for his final year of his contract, as he is pretty much proven in Champo. So that would be a pretty logical decision.

Disagree: Nmecha a make up the numbers type of player, not good enough by a country mile.
Lewin, I was and remain not a fan, like Baracus, bit of a rosy spell but blank now at a crucial time.
However, Stach & Bijol, well happy.
But special mention to my player of Seez.
Gabby all day long, what a player.
