He just doesn’t have this type of player.

Furthermore to add to the lack of central our threat Piroe does not look like a player who can take the ball on the half turn and accelerate into space.
In a contested midfield he disappears. For me because the other two sit so deep. Anyone recall seeing any triangle passages of play centrally.

McGurk looks like the type of player who can play progressively - whether he can do it at this level is a complete mystery to me. But I am sure Farke has looked at him and made his initial assessment.
Yes, we are missing that type of player :tup:

McGurk impresses me whenever I see him in the U21s, may not be good enough for championship football.

If you consider how we seem able to dispatch the better teams of course poor results against less fancied teams are not comparatively acceptable.

But Leon we always do the Leedsy thing once expectations are raised. It was the same to some degree under Bielsa.

Our failings are magnified by the form and consistency of Ipswich and Leicester.

They are the most significant factor to the majority of reactions.
It's been the same since I started supporting Leeds in 1964 :lol:

Scooby whilst you may want the false glamour of getting moderator attention I am pretty certain they can see through your WUM posts. Probably more than one person posting based upon the inconsistent grammar and spelling.

Have a pop if you wish, I can assure you whatever you say will have little effect. I won’t even be offended tbh.

I enjoy a win and don’t toss the toys out if we lose.
Balanced approach I’d say. You have to get some enjoyment out of a win though or you may as well give up the goat 🐐
A day out at Wembley is looking a safe bet, Jay.

Do you realise we haven't scored in four Wembley/Millennium stadium cup/play-off finals since 1972?

I totally agree with that!! But It's that shove first of all which was a bit borderline :fire: , Ilan meliers temperament isn't generally an issue.
;-) Yeboah against Liverpool :!: :!: Crossbar and in. :love: :love:

Indeed my good man. At least I don't harp on about other posters being negative. I really couldn't care less or get affronted by it.

I do not mind negativity, but if an opinion is only expressed when we lose then it is just moaning.

I am no Farke fan. I never have been he is just doing OK for me.


Incidentally, you are moaning at me for moaning at others moaning.

I wish you’d both stop moaning at each other about people moaning about others moaning that some people are moaning.
It’s starting to remind me of Allo Allo. Good moaning.
Good god I used to moan when that was on.

I can always rely on you to tease out the sense in interactions.

I was going to post on the “If I was Farke” thread, but my immediate thought was changing the long hair and centre parting.
