Peterborough v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Farke makes 6 changes to face The Posh
7th January 2:00pm | Weston Homes Stadium
Daniel Farke makes wholesale changes on Sunday lunchtime, as Leeds travel to Peterborough Utd in the third round of the FA Cup. This will be the 13th time in a row that the Whites have been drawn away from home in this competition, equivalent to odds of 8192/1. The two sides have only ever faced each other ten times before, with the Whites winning seven of these. The Posh have two wins, including a one-nil victory at this very stage thirty eight years ago (1986). The last time these two teams met was almost eleven years ago when Sam Byram's 57th minute leveler earned Neil Warnock's Leeds a share of the spoils.
Sunday will give Daniel Farke an opportunity to look at some of the fringe players before making any decision about loaning them out or venturing into the transfer market. With Meslier serving seeing out his suspension, and Darlow injured (dislocated thumb), third choice shot stopper Kristoffer Klaesson will keep his place in the starting line-up.
We will see Welsh due of Rodon and Ampadu together at the heart of the defence. Junior Firpo and Archie Gray start in the wing back roles with Djed Spence heading back to Spurs, Ayling makes the bench.
Ilia Gruev wins his third start of the season, playing alongside Jamie Shackleton. Wilfred Gnonto and Jaidon Anthony have a rare chance to impress from out wide whilst Farke picks Piroe and Bamford up front.

Re: Peterborough Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Those are wholesale changes if that happens, too many for my liking, sure fire way to go out, we won't win the cup and I'd hate a cup run to derail the promotion plan.

Re: Peterborough Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Dont like too many changes but i guess its only to be expected for this game. If Luke's deal is close to being finalised i would be surprised if he played in case he picked up an injury and screwed up the move. Maybe play a very small part near the end.
Re: Peterborough Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Daniel Farke has been speaking to the media before Leeds United's FA Cup match against Peterborough Unitedon Sunday.
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Farke confirmed Sam Byram will miss the game with a hamstring strain, with Pascal Struijk and Joe Gelhardt also unavailable. He also confirmed that Liam Cooper is a doubt, while goalkeeper Karl Darlow will be sidelined for around seven weeks with a finger injury.
He said "nothing major" happened for the club to decide to end Djed Spence's loan deal, but that they "analysed the first half of the season and impressions over the festive period" to make the decision. He added that the 23-year-old is "a cool guy with a good heart and we wish him all the best".
He added: "Not one player needs sympathy. It is a privileged position to be a football player. I want to also highlight it wasn't the easiest period for him. Sometimes it doesn't fit and it it doesn't work out, and you have to make a decision."
On whether the full-back position is a priority in the transfer window, Farke said: "No emergency case. We won't fall asleep because we brought Djed in as players were injured at the time. We have several options. If there is opportunity, at the end we will analyse and assess options and we will only do things we are 100% convinced of."
Asked about the risk of bringing in new players to the group, he said: "Wherever I go, I am always careful. One thing is quality and potential of a player, but also we get personality and characters who defend the shirt of a club and love the badge of a club."
He said he is "not interested" in rumours around Luke Ayling's future and that "so far no player is in my office asking to leave", adding: "In the summer I couldn't close the door early enough. I wanted to lock my door with a key. We are in a better situation now as a club and in the table, and everyone is buying into it."
On the FA Cup, he said: "I'm a big believer in cup competitions. I want to go as far as we can. I want to win each and every round. I know it is not realistic we will win the FA cup, but it's a big competition with big history and is an opportunity for us to present our best."
He said they "won't do anything stupid" against Peterborough as it is "more of a game on Championship level". He added: "Top teams in League One have the same quality as teams in the middle and bottom of the Championship, otherwise you can't be compete at the top of League One."

Re: Peterborough Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
No panic or stress from Mr Farke! All is cool.
Maybe he has a plan and keeping his cards close to his chest.
Darlow out for 7 weeks is a stinker. The chance he has to perform and he gets injured in the most annoying place for a keeper.
I hope this translates into results.

Sorry Jimmy, just couldn't help myself. My bad.

Re: Peterborough Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
No VAR, fortunately.
Notwithstanding the rubbish decision in sending off Calvert-Lewin yesterday, how is it possible that some games in the same round can be completed with entirely different considerations.

Isn’t it something to do with the Premier League grounds being able to use VAR, and the others not ?.Jimstorrie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 6:05 pm No VAR, fortunately.

I’ve never liked VAR, absolute shambles when you’re actually in the ground. We are stuck with it now, unfortunately.

Peterborough Utd v Leeds Utd
7th January@14:00hrs | Weston Homes Stadium
Daniel Farke is expected to make wholesale changes on Sunday lunchtime, as Leeds travel to Peterborough Utd in the third round of the FA Cup.
This will be the 13th time in a row that the Whites have been drawn away from home in this competition, equivalent to odds of 8192/1. The two sides have only ever faced each other ten times before, with the Whites winning seven of these. The Posh have two wins, including a one-nil victory at this very stage thirty eight years ago (1986). The last time these two teams met was almost eleven years ago when Sam Byram's 57th minute leveler earned Neil Warnock's Leeds a share of the spoils.
Sunday will give Daniel Farke an opportunity to look at some of the fringe players before making any decision about loaning them out to lesser clubs. With Meslier serving seeing out his suspension, and Darlow injured (dislocated thumb), third choice shot stopper Kristoffer Klaesson should keep his place in the starting line-up.
We could see Charlie Cresswell and Kris Moore back together at the heart of the defence, but with a loan agreement (to Hibs) in the midst, Moore may have to make do with a place on the bench, in favour of Liam Cooper. Leo Hjelde will challenge Junior Firpo for the right back role whilst fit again Djed Spence will probably start on the left, with Ayling making an emotional cameo appearance before his proposed move to Boro is finalised early next week.
Ilia Gruev should win his third start of the season, playing alongside either Archie Gray or forgotten man Darko Gyabi. Wilfred Gnonto and Jaidon Anthony have a rare chance to impress from out wide whilst Farke must choose between Poveda, Gelhardt or McGurk at 10, with Mateo Joseph probably leading the line.

Which is entirely wrong; you can't, in my opinion, have different rules for different matches in the same competition.

Couldn’t agree more Jim, an absolute nonsense but I think the same about VAR in general anyway.Jimstorrie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 6:26 pm Yes that's exactly why.

It shouldn't be used at all in the cup comps. Premier ground or not. Even playing field and all that.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 7:01 pm It's exactly what it is. Premier league grounds have VAR in place. Non premier league grounds don't.
Re: Peterborough Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Absolutely Swannie.
You'd have good grounds for a court case if you lost a game because VAR ruled out a goal that a referee had given and would have stood if VAR had not been in operation, at a non PL ground.
