I can see us in 3rd after the next 4 or 5 games.
We had a good opportunity to get some sort of a cushion with a home win against Blackburn and an away win at Hull.
So for me that`s 4 points dropped and Sheff Utd and Burnley have what looks like a few easier games than us coming up.

4 from next 5 are st home inc cup. We'll still be top 2. Cup coming along is perfect timing imo. Time to have a look at Darlow and rest the main guys. Today may focus the minds a bit that there’s still improvement required and an incoming player in Jan would be welcome

Some really poor finishing in the first half from Piroe James and Aaronson, could have had 3/4 goals.

Meslier just gets worse each game, surely we can’t continue with him.

Where’s Tanaka been hiding those strikes?!

[quote="chapylad"]What a wankr.
Tad did you say the Leeds fans were having a go at Meslier?[/quote]


I left on the whistle, before the players came over, but in the crowd he was yes. and the majority of the crowd.

I've defended him at times but his position is untenable. he has to go. he needs a fresh start

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sun Jan 05, 2025 7:51 am  

we need to get ampadeu into midfield and stay there. defensively tanaka was invisible. they ran through us time and again

What I can`t understand is how some PL clubs think he`s the answer to their goalkeeping problems.
I`d be quiet happy for MU to sign him!
A move back to France would probably be his best choice.
Also agree Ampadu back in midfield hence why I was thinking maybe Tanaka to play 10 with Rothwell and Ampadu in the middle.
Like Trebor has said the cup has come at the right time and we can let some of the fringe players get a game.

Sounds a good move for them and a player I`d have had at ER last season.

Someone we should have looked at. That's a good signing for them.

did I mention the inbred hull scum with Turkish flags. threatened to get out of hand big style

They are scum, and they know it will provoke a response. Not sure they are actually committing an offence by waving a national flag, and that’s why they push their luck. I recently reported a lad to the manager at my gym for walking around with a Free Palestine sweatshirt with a massive flag on the front. He told me he wouldn’t be doing anything immediately because no actual offence had been committed. He then told me the rememberance poppy I was wearing could be offensive to some people, in other words, live and let live. I told him it was the most ridiculous comparison he could make and after some toing and froing left with the understanding he would have a word with the lad at a later date and try to reason with him. A few years back the lad with the Turkish flag would have been noted and ended up with a different shaped nose outside the ground.
