The more I think of our situation at present with the squad available it absolutely boils down to the extremely poor standard or limited standard of those players being able to perform consistently so yes out of 10 games so far we have had 4 maybe 5 acceptable performances that have yielded our points but 50% of our games have not been EPL standard and until January when hopefully the owners recognise that 2 or 3 new EPL quality signings are urgently needed then the next 10 games will continue this trend but I doubt we'll have another 11 points, maybe 5 if we're lucky.

It's like a cup giant killing side is always capable of raising themselves against superior opposition for a one off encounter but soon their limitations usually mean they can't keep this up the next time or the time after that.

Better sides/ squads in the EPL will have occasional off days like Everton, Newcastle and Bournemouth and I think we took advantage of that and the side were able to raise It's level but against Arsenal, Brighton and Burnley our true quality or lack of showed and will continue to do so which Farke does have my sympathy as in all honesty he is working with an EPL pigs ear.

The owners have effed up massively and unforgivably but unfortunately I fear this damage will almost certainly seal our fate whoever is the manager as the only new coach that could possibly get a more consistent tune out of this squad is spoken for managing Uruguay. I now doubt Rogers, Mancini, Gerrard, Rosenior, Corberan or Gary O'Neil will be able to stop the bleeding.

Unless we sign Toney or Mitrovic and a creative spark and leader in midfield and out wide in January I pretty much think we'll be relegated.
What a wasted opportunity. again!

I agree Cheshire on most points.
The owners have to hold their hands up for a pigs ear of a transfer window. Gabby and oks have been ok but nowhere near the quality of firpo and Solomon. Longstaff has been steady but no better than ao or gruev. Stach all beit injured form has gradually declined each game.
The rest have been woeful and worse than what we had.

Maybe Justin should be left out of the woeful section.
I disagree re manager though. This team may not be epl quality and may get relegated whoever managers them. But we may also get a new manager who drops out of form players, is an astute tactician and is adequate and in game management. Maybe it’s those qualities we should seek rather than prem experience.

He should have been sacked weeks ago.

None of this "in X games we need to revaluate" he has had X games, more than once.

Time to go.

Who do you want bringing in?

Does anybody think that the 49's might eventually realise we aren't looking good for staying up and changes are needed? But on the other hand, whilst we have the number of paying fans and paying ordinary wages, their profits are acceptable.

Please no Brendan 🙏.

Just reading one article online about whether Farke’s job is under threat, and rightly or wrongly, I think it probably is. I think Fridays game is massive for DF’s future.
The article talked about whether that would create more problems due to the challenges the 49’s have had trying to get the right manager for Rangers, and the same issues they would face at Leeds.
It also said Gerrard turned down the chance of returning to Rangers, which made me think whether they may have spoken about the opportunity of coming to Leeds if DF doesn’t get some wins in the bag!
Pure speculation on my behalf, but wonder whether it might be on Paraags mind.

I'd rather see some of the kids playing rather than JH and BA, what a load of manure.

Having a chat at work today about the one n only Jack Charlton.
His playing style came up and then the question of would his style of play, ie long ball work in the EPL today?

I'm actually still mulling it over. I'm not a coach but I do know football tactics evolve over time but sometimes, like the long throw, certain elements come back in to fashion.

What you reckon lads, could that style of play still work in today's game? Wilko played a similar way. Get the ball forward, win the knock down and then play your football in the final third.

I believe it would Corkey. Most teams these days are not very well set to defend it, which is why I agree with Farke's decision to utilise it a little more. I think it will pay dividends doing as much across the season.

Think Farke has done well increasing crossing accuracy and long throws. Think getting ball forward quicker and long ball if need be. The high press will often get caught by these tactics. I agree in general teams are set up better defensively but one long ball can be a killer. Direct to the player or even winning the second ball. Plus we keep our shape better and compact.

Yikes, if DCL is our ticket to survival we are in trouble. I don't think anyone would call him prolific, it has been a handful of years since he got into double figures in prem and has missed more games than I've had hot dinners.

Not the answer for me but what is? IDK.

Hopefully DJ, not too serious after all, I’m not shocked though, I honestly do not think I’ve seen him run freely all season, Dublin he kept looking down at his foot and the bench were asking him if he was ok every time he was near.

He certainly appears a long way off his frighteningly top pace. season to date.

Need to get him fully recovered and pointless international breaks are not as hated this season if it gives our very thin squad much needed recovery time.

Horrible for any player to be injured, but half a dozen mild strains requiring a few weeks rehabilitation wouldn’t go a miss for the Spuds players in Europe this evening.

Unfortunately his pace has gone. Still quick over ten yards but the electric pace has gone.

Well done to the woman's rugby team on winning the world Cup. Now is a good time to wave st. georges flags.
This is what England is. Sold out Twickenham.
I must say the pace of rugby union suites the woman's game.

Womens rugby miles better than women's soccer! Fact!
