I didnt think Piroe was that bad, like Tad said, he could easily have got a few goals today if the ball in to the middle were better.

What would be the thoughts for Bamford starting tho? Just to get some minutes into him?

meslier had no chance with any of them.

Bring back the boring 2-0 wins any day after that it was a huge result though, absolutely huge.. if we can back up with 2 wins this week that would be superb. Sheff U and Sunderland play each other Friday..

on a serious note I've no idea why people moan about a routine, dull 2-0 win.
it's still 3 points

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Mon Nov 25, 2024 1:19 pm  

Yeah i dont get the negativity, I'd take boring wins every day of the week, Farke has one job and thats to get us promoted

A draw for those two and a sending off each side will do.
I do think Bamford will play on Wednesday.
My worry is Luton are a team of giants so we need to be clever how we defend their corners and free kicks.
Might be tempting to bring the French lad in for Aaronsen too especially for his height.

If we play anything like we should have more than enough, don't need to be changing up the team for Luton, stick to what we do best, pass them to death and play with pace. Can't see Bamford starting. Maybe he needs a good half hour if we're 1 or two up during a game.. I suspect Bamford's time will come in the cup in the new year like last season.

I`d like nothing better than to see Bamford score goals. But I fear Farke no longer has the confidence in him to do that these days.
But you never know he has come back and scored goals in the past.
I also see Messlier is 17th in the League for shots faced/conceded and that is another area that needs to improve.
Get centre forwards scoring and goalkeepers saving and we`re sorted, easy this coaching lark.

We could really do with one of the strikers going on a run, it's a bit stop start from Piroe and Joseph. Joseph show's a lack of composure at times, he's still learning though. Trouble with Bamford he looks absolutely terrible when he's been out a while.. he goes very rusty.

Messlier was in the bottom 6 last season for shots faced/conceded, the only keeper in the top 4 teams that wasn't high up in the stats table, which tells you all you need to know (especially how good we are defensively - we were the best in all 4 divisions most of last season). He lets too many in that he should save. He wasn't at fault at the weekend though, that second goal took a sizeable deflection.
