Farke states, and I quote, " we wanted to go through "
I hate being taken for a fool, that's bol&$#ks, if he was serious about going through he wouldn5 have made 10 changes.
1.) 08 Feb 2025 21:18:20
you can make changes and still want to go through.
2.) 09 Feb 2025 12:59:19
He's right, 1970. We did want to go through, we just didn't want to risk our players doing so.
There's an argument to be made that we should have bought more players if injury is such a concern, but that's by the by.

Farke vindicated after last night? Resting the squad seemed to work like a charm.

1970 we need to get through promotion which has just got harder we could be two pints behind come Monday night.

Bielsa post match comments are very worrying - he sounds tired and defeated, almost resigned to continued struggles. My bet is he is off back to Argy at end of season.

OP - I will gladly volunteer for the fans committee to manage our great team but only if you promise to do all the pressers, that way whatever happens things will appear rosy and I will not be relieved of my duties!

I guess that's meant as a light hearted joke at my expense 1970. The truth is, if we had dispensed with Farke already as many on here called for, we could be now in dire trouble with a Jesse Marsch type replacement, destined with a one way ticket back to the Championship.

Going into Saturday Farke probably feared the worst, subsequently BA was benched so he could not be blamed for the impending debacle and could be reinstated next week.
Once 2 down the game is always very different, I woul$ not read too much into our perceived improvement - as far as Citeh were concerned the job was already done and therefor their hunger somewhat waned. At 2 - 2 they woke up again ( when needed) and there was only ever going to be one winner.
We can hope but I fear the worst.

Th second half was a much improved performance but let’s be honest we were handed two goals on a plate by city.
I think it’s time for Farke to go but only if we can get in a better coach.
27 Nov 2025 05:27:15
Bamford given a run out for 60 mins or so and is “ player of the match” ( per bbc) . Only championship I know - thank goodness we have tha5 120 k a week goal machine Lewin instead.
1.) 27 Nov 2025 05:58:52
Are we lucky.
2.) 27 Nov 2025 06:32:18
Meant aren’t we lucky.

Farke’s decision, he clearly referenced Pats injury history which was true, but after giving him away.
Namecheck has abductors issues which means he cannot complete a full game (even though he tries bless him)
DCL injury record on a par if not worse that Pats
Where’s that Ballotelli t-shirt, (always us! ) Chris, you’d clean up over Christmas pal.
Reports that Farke happy to let Willy and Piroe go, to raise funds, but keep BA and DCL on how much?
09 Nov 2025 18:14:33
Open strikers basically on six yard line for both their goals from open play - that is a result of either poor coaching or apathetic defenders - both excuses emanate from the top.
Looking forward to some optimistic soul seeing the silver lining and assuring me everything will be great.
1.) 09 Nov 2025 18:28:51
To me the basic defending premise of closing down space does not seem to be in the Leeds coaching manual right now.
A few times today players ahead of our mid were afforded as much space as they wanted, so frustrating.
2.) 10 Nov 2025 04:55:18
Agree 70 and canad.
20 Oct 2025 21:12:04
Bright - to clarify, we probably had to pay Bam most of what was left on his contract - he wouldn't have walked for nowt. The only thing we saved was space in the physics room for one of these other finely tuned non scoring athletes.
1.) 21 Oct 2025 04:52:14
Really. Our forwards over last few seasons have been woeful. Piroe the exception but at a lower level. In last two seasons they have been presented so many chances we had to score a few. Prem diff ball game. None are good enough. I’m actually very annoyed we have signed cal on a 3 year deal. Stupid thing to do. Should have been 1 with extension if we wanted.
Don’t want to be negative ?
But we just have to buy a new striker in Jan and have him on bench. Kudos.
2.) 21 Oct 2025 08:06:57
Last years top 3 scorers Piroe 19, James 12, Soloman 19. This year Piroe hardly played, James mostly injured, Solomon departed. Replacements DCL 1, Nmecha 1, Okafor 2. Meanwhille 2 multi million pound new players (both defenders) only sat on bench, but remember all the strikers we were linked with and never came. There's the nub of the problem. Will they/ can they turn it round? Keep fingers and everything else crossed. I'm usually an eternal optimist, but my optimism is being sorely tested right now.
3.) 21 Oct 2025 10:43:07
Correction, fat finger syndrome, Soloman 10.
4.) 21 Oct 2025 12:24:11
BamBam won't have walked away with 50%. Believe me.
16 Apr 2024 03:20:41
Well he would say that wouldn’t he! I don’t read that much into it, if money is right he will be back to Germany before you can say blitzkrieg.
07 Aug 2023 15:42:27
I can't even say it, let alone sing it!
02 May 2023 15:45:56
With you on this one AUS - I assume Sam will be on a good "bung" if he somehow keeps us up.
17 Jun 2022 23:09:14
Please see my post from earlier this week! Of course he knew, no doubt what so ever - question is would he have spent regardless?
Probably not - but as I stated previously we will end up with net profit the window for Radz to siphon off a couple of million for other ventures.
He has been good for Leeds but first and foremost he is a business man looking to make a profit.
09 Nov 2025 18:22:20
Agree with Vid. No one expects owt from next four games anyway - maybe new guy comes in and instills a bit of passion and urgency in the team and we subsequently nick a few points.
One thing for sure is that it is highly unlikely with present leader.
09 Nov 2025 00:30:50
That’s all well and good - but who exactly is going to take our chances
?
02 Nov 2025 03:37:57
That’s hardly the point. Had we won every game we would be top of the league, - we haven’t so we are not. A lot of bull crap about being competitive which somehow makes everything ok even when we lose.
Then someone has the briGHT idea to bring in DCL that free wheeling goal machine on a 15 million pound contract over three, I repeat 3 years - that particular one probably not Farkes fault.
12 Oct 2025 18:56:52
That explains a lot of your posts, a picture is worth 1000 words.
04 Oct 2025 20:30:44
Heads up boys - we won5 be getting a top finisher in January either.
