NO CAM EQUALS NO PROMOTION! Will cost us again.
1.) 30 Nov 2024 16:49:13
Yep
Even in this mediocre level Champo we vitally need a CAM.
2.) 30 Nov 2024 17:29:04
The best in this league has been undone by better and it’s more times than Meslier howlers?.
24 Nov 2024 15:56:30
Same old same old! Starts Piroe again over Joseph cause it's against his old club. Poor decision IMO. Piroe has had a wopping (2) touches in 48 mins. GK stuck in his own feet and concedes a soft goal before the half. Think it's time to give Darlow a go. Hopefully somebody saves us today.
1.) 24 Nov 2024 16:03:46
Piroe should not have started. He should be a sub at best. I would rather have Bambi start, if Farke has an issue with starting Joseph.
2.) 24 Nov 2024 17:10:13
I guess we got saved! Top of table is great but I'm worried about conceding 3 goals to a Swans team who average less than a goal a game. Love the team spirit to the travelling Leeds fans after the game. MOT.
3.) 24 Nov 2024 18:01:48
Joseph misses quite a lot of good chances.
Mes positioning and not saving shots
Struick and Rodon ball watching on some of goals
However a gratifying 4 goals and 3 points.
4.) 24 Nov 2024 22:06:59
In other words we didn’t deserve to win?
5.) 24 Nov 2024 22:27:49
It was also very clear that the shot that you thought Meslier should have saved took a deflection off Bogle’s leg, nothing wrong with his positioning.
6.) 24 Nov 2024 23:35:50
gotta agree with Baz,
although berm may slate me for this, but as i have said before, we need a bl**dy keeper. Whatever the result, 4-3, 6-5, 5-4, there are keepers out there with better positional sense.
anyway DF has done a great job with what he has had to deal with, for example, players going after relegation, selling our best players and not replacing them etc etc, fair play to Farke, hope the board/ owners back him in Jan. We Are Leeds united.
06 Nov 2024 20:47:46
Piroe had one touch in 45 mins. Again, he should not be the starting striker over Joseph.
Playing 6 defenders against a non attacking team is scared football. Young Crew looked good going forward last game and should be used more in this boring setup.
Gnonto tries to play his boy Summervilles role but is very disappointing.
BA too lightweight against this team. We have a Big physical presence in our team and don't use him.
Last but not least the Manager still doesn't know how to defend set pieces.
I predict Joseph will save us!
1.) 06 Nov 2024 21:41:49
Blame clueless Farke . and blame Berma for attending
millwall in top 6 or 7 were garbage . leeds in 3rd clueless up front . without rama we have no threat
woeful quality Champo this season.
2.) 06 Nov 2024 21:55:40
Baz, I will repeat myself like I said last season, NO GUTS NO GLORY! We are a product of our Manager, Clueless and soft!
3.) 06 Nov 2024 22:06:43
Only in your head is it woeful Baz, this is the Championship, not the Premiership, what did you expect? Non competitiveness?
We made the carnal sin of letting them score first then the Wall became a Wall and for me that was game over.
The only player I can give credit to tonight was Struijk, the whole team needed to raise their game against a very awkward opponent who we historically suffer against at their ground and we just didn’t deliver.
4.) 06 Nov 2024 22:19:06
We played very good football, sharp passes good attacking runs but were dreadful on the last touch.
Piroe should not have started and Gnonto needs resting until the new year. He is off his game and should not be played.
Arranson had maybe his best game tonight, very well played.
Farke late subs again and terrible tactics cost us the game. One sub at 70 mins and 2 at 80 mins are moronic.
No MJ for 90% of the game. No guilovogi? No Schmidt? No chambers? No crew?
Farke has had his time now. It's the same old, same old. Remove him at Christmas, put Bamford in charge as temp manager and splash out on big players or we will not be seeing promotion for ten years.
5.) 06 Nov 2024 22:24:02
OP :
no team in this years Champo finishes anywhere near last season top 4
The Bielsa Leeds team of 2019/ 20 smash 110 points against this years mediocre quality league.
6.) 06 Nov 2024 22:34:24
I think you should accept that you are wrong Baz and that you should just admit it.
7.) 07 Nov 2024 09:50:53
Baz is 85% wrong in all of his posts, but will never admit as much. Pointless exercise trying to get him to listen to perspectives, or amend his own. You’re not dealing with an intellectual or flexible mind.
We finish our early chances (onus on the players, not the gaffer) the game plays out completely differently, and we walk it, as they have to step out of their zone of comfort; ie playing to their strengths.
I would love to see some of the guys on here, who know everything about the game, step into a dugout and run a match, at any level, even juniors. It would a blend of meltdown, and carnage! ????.
01 Oct 2024 21:52:45
Like I said, NOTHING WILL CHANGE!
The only 2 wingers we had on the field to create any chances for us this Donut manager takes Both off and Brings on the two slowest players in Bamford and Piroe who can't get past my granny. Piroe only scores when he has others creating for him. Why the hell he take both wingers off. We had momentum after we scored and than again poor manager decisions cost us.
I said it last season. No guts no Glory! Same old same old.
1.) 01 Oct 2024 22:23:36
I saw this on another forum and is pertinent
"Farke is a good general for building a plan before the war BUT absolutely out of his depth leading us into battle and on the battlefields "
2.) 01 Oct 2024 22:29:13
The ref not giving a stone wall pen cost us.
Motm tonight for Norwich was the ref.
Playing 12 men most weeks takes its toll.
3.) 01 Oct 2024 22:31:40
Weird subs to make when we had them under the cosh. Our put of possession work was causing them issues. So to take the players off who were capable of keeping that up to replace with two slow players mid boggling.
All I can think is he was happy for a point and had one eye on Friday. But even then, it's not a good excuse, as there were 3 points to be taken at that juncture tonight.
Hopefully Gruev's injury is just enough to make him miss the rest of tonight's game and nothing more.
4.) 01 Oct 2024 22:43:26
Can only think that he felt he needed to rest them ahead of Friday at Sunderland. Given that currently they are our only fit first team wingers, I guess there is a little sense in that, frustrating though that is, probably for Farke as well as fans and the players themselves, as everyone would have preferred 3 points.
5.) 01 Oct 2024 22:49:19
Because we have a game in 3 days and they were tiring and becoming less effective. Norwich were beginning to get on top and he made changes to try and deal with that.
Overall, given the Amps issue and then Gruev, I think it was a solid performance and I’m happy for a good point away from home.
Note, in most games teams only have two wingers on the pitch at any time and most goal scorers do so because the rest of the team create chances for them.
6.) 01 Oct 2024 22:49:52
Resting players for Friday.
7.) 01 Oct 2024 22:50:36
Piroe’s been scoring every time he comes on, a natural decision for the coach I thought. Norwich were well set up and very fast, when we broke and countered them they were as quick as us. A point is a good result against them at their ground.
We did lose some momentum after the substitutions but I thought they also stepped it up in the last 20 mins, don’t think it would have made any difference had the substitutions had been made or not.

15 Sep 2024 16:49:00
After we lose to Cardiff (Bottom of the table) this weekend, D Farke will be Fired and should be Fired! If not there will be more Playoff Heartbreak heading our way.
1.) 15 Sep 2024 17:52:51
Replace with whom though Hooksie?
There lies an issue.
2.) 15 Sep 2024 19:04:37
whomever Baz. If we keep doing what where been doing, We will Keep getting what we have been getting!
3.) 15 Sep 2024 19:34:19
Farke has the next 5/ 6 games.
4.) 15 Sep 2024 19:38:03
Club are keen on Corberan but will to trigger his release clause and he may not be keen to leave WBA right now although he has always been keen on the Leeds job.
5.) 15 Sep 2024 19:48:36
Dill’s pick Igor Tudor seems still to be available. Graham Potter is still free, if he wanted to return to his wife’s home county, having picked up his Honorary Doctorate from Leeds Becketts Uni in June - though perhaps he’s hoping for another immediate Prem chance, or the England post. Gus Poyet is free, might be popular with some, may feel he has unfinished business here, and appears more tactically flexible than DF. It would be interesting to hear Dill’s views on Gus, and some of the others that could perhaps be tempted to take the hot seat at Elland Road if 49ers decided a change was needed.
6.) 15 Sep 2024 19:59:19
Corbs would be great with this squad.
7.) 15 Sep 2024 21:10:21
Alf, If he has 5/ 6 games our season is over. He wins 2 out of 6 and the 49er's will keep him and that's when our season ends. We waited too late before and we continue making the same mistakes. D Farke has been piss poor and It's costing us again. Just speaking facts.
If he proves me wrong than I'll definitely give him his Due. Can't see it happening though.
8.) 15 Sep 2024 21:11:22
They're putting the feelers out Alf?
Doesn't sound like it's just fans over reacting. It feels like a lot of people want more, positive results. Farke has shown that he can do it, but can he get that mojo back and do it again, consistently?
When you're the manager, you take the glory and the stick.
9.) 15 Sep 2024 21:30:43
Super defensive tactical boring corboran? because he has won so much.
10.) 15 Sep 2024 21:59:23
I like Corberan, good coach, but I seem to remember he didn’t fancy the Leeds job before Farke joined us and signed a 4 year extension with WBA. The Leeds manager job is a difficult one, the fan’s expectations is often very high and because of our history we have teams like in this league who will constantly play with extra determination to beat us.
I can see why Carlos Corberan opted out, it’s a great job to get but comes with a massive ball and chain.
11.) 15 Sep 2024 22:11:23
It would not surprise me at all if Mr Marathe and Co were putting out feelers
Along with the end of last season debacle . Leeds under Farke don't convince this season.
12.) 15 Sep 2024 23:56:03
The Leeds manager job is the easiest in the EFL but it requires you to do little managing Vs other clubs.
ER need a showman manager, someone to get the crowds pumped up, to get belief injected into the team.
Standing on the sidelines with arms folded and a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp does nothing for the crowd, which does nothing for the players.
13.) 16 Sep 2024 00:59:27
MOTagain superb set of posts today.
14.) 16 Sep 2024 07:00:01
MoT it’s not an easy job and that is the reason that no manager/ coach could get us back to the Premiership after 17 years until Marcello turned up. That also included mangers who won promotion before like Monk, Colin, MacDermott etc.
What kind of showman manager are you looking at? Allardyce maybe, whoops failure.
We tried to get quality managers before with Radz, which included Slot and Iraola, guess what, they didn’t want to come to Leeds.
Face the facts MoT instead of dreaming.
Baz, is it necessary to praise MoT’s posts every time he responds to one of my posts. You wouldn’t be trying to score points over other fellow posters again would you Baz?
Naughty boy.
15.) 16 Sep 2024 09:25:15
Opti,
Managers won't come to Leeds because the shirt is heavy. Many players, commentators and managers have discussed the atmosphere at Elland road. If that is something a manager doesn't like, they won't come.
Look at any game from last season, the majority of them had the fans singing before we scored, then when we did, even if we were behind, the fans got louder and louder and we were knocking them in for fun.
You could feel the delight when we faced Leicester and Norwich. Even watching games, you can feel the excitement and anticipation that "were going to score soon". None of that is there anymore.
A Leeds manager has to manage the team, sure. But they need to know how to manage the crowds and built the excitement for the fans. The fans are the twelfth player on the pitch, something that has been discussed before.
It might sound wild but it's true. Bielsa played new and exciting football, he got the fans and the crowd behind him.
Leeds with their head down never win. Leeds with their chins up with the crowd behind them are giant killers.
16.) 16 Sep 2024 09:50:06
OP . not just MOTalaw but Dill's posts too are also excellent re Farke
( Kevin Keegan voice ) " I am lurving it . )
Berma and OP . so misguided on Farke. he ain't the man to get Leeds promoted . and in EPL he is proven a disaster
the likes of Moyes and Potter have far better records in EPL.
17.) 16 Sep 2024 10:00:48
Fact . Another really good post from MOTalaw. he has raised his game.
The only counterpoint MOT is again I ask you why you predicted at start of season that Leeds would smash league with 8 games. clearly never happening esp given your reticence and critique of Farke?
18.) 16 Sep 2024 10:14:14
Lol OP! Baz is doing exactly what he had a go at me about with your posts!
I do feel there are some good points that come thro a lot of MoT’s posts, and it’s great to have him here as a regular now.
However. And this is a big one. The pressure, the expectation, as a one club city, fanatics literally as fans, great following week in and out, the clamour for success, the atmosphere, the heritage and tradition, the squad ability, the new owners, plus many other factors, make it one of THE biggest and most difficult, yet potentially rewarding, jobs in certainly U. K. football, and probably beyond. That is not arrogance, nor delusional, nor living in the past.
19.) 16 Sep 2024 10:14:52
Corberan is far more versatile than Farke, Bermo. He's had to be because of his squad. He adapts to different teams and he's certainly more well prepared. Guessing you've not watched him much last few seasons if you think he's super defensive tactically.
20.) 16 Sep 2024 10:43:40
Yep I be doing a " Brighty Bandwagon"
With the crucial difference I am doing it to truly excellent posts
You Brighteth were not ???.
21.) 16 Sep 2024 11:39:14
So now you’re resorting to pure opinion slating, and an “if you don’t agree, you’re wrong” approach. Very good. Are you just a new breed of Victor Meldrew? Stubborn to the point of ignorance, unwilling to listen to perspectives other than those that suit your own negative agenda, and simply grumpy as ****?
22.) 16 Sep 2024 14:30:49
Baz,
I'll admit, arms up, that I never considered the possibility that Farke would be on the same lack of form as last season, though I did believe (and hopefully mentioned) that RB/ 49ers would shed Farke if he didn't get the team back to its best. He has so far failed to do that so the rumours of him going reassure me that 49ers/ RB are taking no prisoners.
It may be a tactical decision by 49ers to not buy a CF, I know that sounds crackers but if we did buy one and he papered over the cracks of Farkes weaknesses, would we repeat last season where we fall apart on the final stretch?
We have enough goal scorers in the team to get us through to January, but if they're not working, then a CF means little.
23.) 16 Sep 2024 14:46:55
Cheers for the well reasoned calm and thoughtful reply MOT
As you know I haven't been convinced by DF for a year. since he got absolutely out thought by Russell Martin in an abject Leeds away perfomance followeed by further woeful away performances at Rotherham, Sunderland, Preston, Baggies in Nov and Dec 2023.which cost us promotion imo
We need better than Farke to go up.
24.) 16 Sep 2024 15:58:28
Yes Baz and how your opinion has changed within a very short period. So, like I tried to convey to you before, are you sure you don’t want to change your famous prediction of Leeds finishing top of the league if Farke is still with us?
Come on where are we going to finish now if Farke stays?
I’m sure that will change again in a couple of weeks though knowing you.
25.) 16 Sep 2024 17:16:56
Mg predictions and opinions have not changed at all OP.
1 I haven't rated Farke since last September 2023 since Saints 3 vs Leeds1
2 Woeful Champo level this season 24/ 25 that even Farke should just about get Leeds over promotion line
3 if he falters in next matches his successor should get Leeds promoted
I am sticking with 1st all season . no change fella . hard lines OP.
26.) 16 Sep 2024 19:54:20
"We need better than Farke to go up"
That was in your post before mine, what happened the 1st and promotion then?
Sorry Baz but I don’t think you know what you post even directly after posting.
27.) 16 Sep 2024 23:06:03
Yes OP we need better ( Kieran McKenna standard ) than Farke as we should and would already be promoted to EPL in season 23/ 24
And in weaker Champo 24/ 25 . with a better coach we sprint over the promotion line rather than limp over it with Farke ( or perhaps still narrowly miss out on promotion again with Farke.
28.) 16 Sep 2024 23:08:00
. Moyesy for Leeds . OP.

George old Boy, I'll say it one more time! Remember the Americans wanted out of Leeds after getting us Relegated. BA wanted no parts of this club but he couldn't find another club to keep him because he is what you said, A headless chicken. DF had no choice but to Promise him a starting spot if not he would have never shown his face at our club again. That is what I believe and I'll stick to it. Please tell me how many games he has started this season so far. Remember he was on the bench the first three games because he arrived back late for pre-season before DF had a meeting with him. From the fourth game on he has started every Game no matter how he's playing. Not saying he hasn't had good games. There you go George!
30 Nov 2024 18:08:22
I already told you why BA starts every game!
24 Nov 2024 17:10:13
I guess we got saved! Top of table is great but I'm worried about conceding 3 goals to a Swans team who average less than a goal a game. Love the team spirit to the travelling Leeds fans after the game. MOT.
15 Nov 2024 00:22:57
Totally agree guys, But DF will is obligated to play BA after he convinced him to come back to Leeds. BA had no intentions of playing for us again and has told DF that he will only come back if he is guaranteed in the starting eleven. Remember just like JM and the other Americans they all talk a good game. You think he is loving playing for Leeds! He's just biding time for some other club to snap him up and get him out of town. Remember, his mates Tyler Adams and the Hamburger King are gone. Like I said before the season started, I DON'T REALLY TRUST 49ERS. Rather Red Bull take over 100%.
08 Nov 2024 17:51:39
I just finished listening to DF press conference. Clueless is an understatement! Please 49ers if we lose (hope we smash them) to QPR tomorrow Fire this Donut!
