I have on going debate with some on here who suggest every game Leeds play its a cup final for every other team - that is tripe.
Leeds lost on Saturday because they didn't play well enough - even their own players suggested as much.
Fans cannot expect the team to play at the same level every game. This is a competitive league and all teams will lose games through the year. Last season was exceptional and Leeds were unlucky to come up against Leicester and Ipswich in the same season.
Farke is not an expansive coach but he does win far more games than he loses and fans can either accept that or not. Much is said of Piroe's inclusion yet Joseph has hardly covered himself in glory when included. At least Piroe does score some goals.
Scoring goals was highlighted at the start of the season as an issue - this team needs 10-15 scoring opportunities to convert a goal. This will continue until Farke changes the way the team develops its attacking strategy.
Much is made of 3 games in 6 days - given the strength and depth of the squad Farke has available Leeds should be better placed than any side in the Championship to cope with this.
Will they get automatic promotion - not unless they find a way to convert the chances on a more regular basis and find a way of changing the approach when away from home.
bielsa never had a plan B either but he was considered a genius. I also agree a little bit of a shake up is needed. but I'm not sure he drops aaronsson
tad rhino: interesting quote from farke in his press conference. win our last 5 home games we finish in the top 2.
thoughts?
I agree, even more so because of last nights results which were very good and the fact Sheff U and Burnley will take at least 2 points off each other either way with only 2 left to play after their game... if we win our 5 home games we're on 91 points - plus anything we pick up away..
Sheffield derby this weekend at Hillsborough and Weds will be cockahoop after coming back from 2 down to win 3-2 last night away.. Burnley have Bristol C and Cov to play just after international break too which are tricky games, Bristol C were all over Sheff U last night..
But, we need to do our job now.... no messing. I expect a big reaction these next two games. Saturday away at QPR at lunch time gives me chills.. but we need to get our heads right and the bit between our teeth and crack on.
So the only change is Rothwell for Gruev. Come on Danny Boy Aaronson does not deserve his place in the eleven and we need to freshen up our attack. Surely us fans know best!
