Agree with most of the above namely Tanaka lucky not to get a second yellow, Aaronson decent first half, Solomon, James and Bogle again my MoM for the second game running.
Also agree Solomon and Aaronson should have been rested and Piroe unfortunately not doing a right lot.
Scoring early doesn`t seem to help us and the notion that those teams that park the bus make it difficult for us doesn`t ring true.
Both Wednesday and Norwich attacked us for a good 20 or so minutes and we didn`t exploit it.
The test will come on Monday although with slightly better luck Sunderland could/should have beaten Burnley 4 nil so there`s hope.

A really positive press conference from Farke. Struijk should be back in a couple of weeks, and he confirmed we're looking at a 10, and striker and centre back cover.

Sadly Sheff Utd and Burnley keeping winning - Burnley's defence is incredible.

Looks a lot like last year - can Farke provide a better run in than last season as the pressure intensifies.

As of last weekend it was the first time 4 sides have been on 50 points or more in the championship at that stage. it’s so very Leeds. I think one of them at least will drop off. Possibly Sunderland.

No team has not got auto promotion on Leeds points total at this stage also..

Did he really! That means to me he’s hopeful of signings coming in.

Great news on Pascal. Big boost

Yes reported in Leeds Live with Farke recognising Struijk does pick up injuries and whilst we have some cover other options will if right will be considered same as the 10 or words to that effect. The only real injured player is of course Bamford who will be out longer than expected. The wimp
Farke said:“If there is a solution for a creative midfield player it definitely make sense to stay awake. In all the other areas we are covered. The only two [positions] we have to stay awake in my head is the centre-back position… and perhaps a bit in the striker position.”
