I have on going debate with some on here who suggest every game Leeds play its a cup final for every other team - that is tripe.

Leeds lost on Saturday because they didn't play well enough - even their own players suggested as much.

Fans cannot expect the team to play at the same level every game. This is a competitive league and all teams will lose games through the year. Last season was exceptional and Leeds were unlucky to come up against Leicester and Ipswich in the same season.

Farke is not an expansive coach but he does win far more games than he loses and fans can either accept that or not. Much is said of Piroe's inclusion yet Joseph has hardly covered himself in glory when included. At least Piroe does score some goals.

Scoring goals was highlighted at the start of the season as an issue - this team needs 10-15 scoring opportunities to convert a goal. This will continue until Farke changes the way the team develops its attacking strategy.

Much is made of 3 games in 6 days - given the strength and depth of the squad Farke has available Leeds should be better placed than any side in the Championship to cope with this.

Will they get automatic promotion - not unless they find a way to convert the chances on a more regular basis and find a way of changing the approach when away from home.

Darlow for me, he's been very solid for Wales. He's just played well in 2 internationals alongside James and Rodon and he of course has played alongside Ampadu many times for Wales now so he's not rusty. I actually think the lads will respond really well to Darlow too.


Watched a really interesting video on the Leeds squad under Farke last 2 years and it's looking like it's following the same pattern with a lack of rotation leading to burnout as it did last season...... and that's where Farke gets a lot of criticism.. I for one have backed him fully but his neck is on the line here... fingers crossed he's got it right. Does he have time to rotate at this stage??.... Ramazanni looks very rusty for example and he's a player who always needs lots of minutes to get the best out of him.. but can he take what would be a gamble or does playing the same squad lead to failure.... very very tough situation now and it's why we could have done with a nice points gap..    

Surely hes got to give Darlow a chance, we just cant allow Meslier to make any more game changing errors. 


The whole team must have lost all confidence in Meslier now. 


We need the players focusing on their own jobs and not thinking about the goalkeeper. 

Totally agree mate 

yep. I'm sure conversations have been had  between captain and coach

I could understand why he didn't rotate the team last season, as there wasn't much depth, but this season there are no excuses for running them into the ground this season.
