Resilience, strength and togetherness were the words Farke used to describe the team. We now know these have characteristics and they are evident in our performances. I'm very pleased with the job Daniel Farke is doing.
We have 44pts with two to play and are safe. Everyone of us would have been happy with that at the start of the season.
The main nucleus of 16/ 17 players are the foundation to build on. The fringe players all need upgrading with better players to add depth to the squad, with some of the new players coming in to be first choice starters.

Going back to the initial part of the season when results weren't great and then the change after the City game, along with the system suiting us better, there may have been a psychological element to the players' performance when they saw they could compete and this gave them the belief they needed.

There is the big step up from the Championship for the players and there is a learning curve. The adjustment to playing in the Premier League every week and getting to the level of performance required from you as a player, coupled with Daniel Farke's knowledge from the past, probably were all contributing factors to the upturn in performances and results.
We will be respected more now going forward as we are now not an easy team to play against.

Personally, I think that's an excellent post, 70!
Agreed on all counts. Next season might also be tougher than this, as a lot of teams will see taking a point from us at Elland Road as a good result. This makes our recruitment, as you imply, critical. They did a good job last season imo, so there's no real reason to doubt them.

Great post, 70.. spot on.

Hopefully, we can maintain our 2026 performance levels into next season. As they said in commentary, we would have been pushing for Europe had we started better.

I think we have become a respected team.

Can't disagree with any of that, 1970. Good post.
The ideology is firmly driven into the players and what it means to play for Leeds United and what the fans expect from them.
They also understand the style of play and when to change and adapt during games.
I think Farke and his staff totally get what it all means, and their part is so important to guide the players through the Premiership and to improve them.

I don't think there's a lot of trust in our owners yet, but perhaps that has to be earned with how they take our club forward from here on.


Have no doubt in my mind, they will spend as much as is allowed and that recruitment are already identifying their targets.
We will not be spending a huge amount and from what I hear already, it is slightly less than last summer. So, being very precise with our targets will be absolutely imperative.

I've personally got a lot of faith in this current ownership and the people involved in it.
The signs are very good so far.
