Leeds Utd v Swansea City Match Thread

[WestgateRun]

SO, who is going to beat us in the play off final, lads?

It's going to be Coventry, isn't it?
And Fat Fwank will have the last laugh while our supporters slope off home again.

[Orange Box]

6 points from 5 games. Worst than Derby and Luton. Burnley have gained 7 points on us in the same five games.

Farke has no answer other than to run the same players into the ground doing the same thing over and over. He is more stubborn than Bielsa.

I never thought that possible, but I have to agree.

[Finnatic]

If I'm honest, the scoreline was a fair reflection of the match.

The annoying thing is that even though they deserved something, we let them score when we were in control and the danger should have been over

[The Subhuman]

does anybody think a point is good enough, to say we were out-fought is an understatement. absolutely gutted.

No, point not good enough. But even worse the performance was not good enough. Disjointed, low energy, the classic square pegs in round holes is absolutely valid here.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Well we won't see the summit of this division again - WIlder is going to do to Farke what he did to Bielsa in Bielsa's first season.

[ElKapitan]

Totally..... But these are the games when you scrape by and rely on players doing the basics right.

You also rely on the management to look at the data and get rid of the also rans..... Its a joke with the budget we have that we have a threadbare squad with several of the players we do have not being even mid table standard.

[White Riot]

We are making much harder work of our easy run of fixtures than Burnley and Sheffield United are of the harder one.

More concerned about the very obvious drop in performance levels that has been going on now for a good month or so.

Late wins vs Sheffield United and Sunderland papered over it but without performance levels being raised bad results would always follow.

Farke needs to fix this and fast.

The game today was poor, Swansea well worth the point if not all 3.

Many clumsy performances.

Disappointed

And not looking forward to Luton and Boro away

It is what it is Cjay.

Farke was incapable of turning things round during the run in last season, and I'm expecting more of the same.

I've seen this film many times.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. I’ve never been convinced this season.

But the bright lights and drama of last minute winners has papered over the cracks

[White Riot]

Cheers Leeds, another weekend ruined.

[SG90]

As much as I want to blame Farke, and I do, it's the same players who bottled it last season doing so again. Rodon, Ampadu, Mes, Piroe, James. If you can't see out a game when you're leading at home, you don't deserve promotion. Gnonto tried hard to save Farkes butt, and his reward will be the bench while James starts again. Farke's stubbornness cost us last season and has again this year. He has to go, no more excuses.

[Broad Ford]

Certainly didnt play like champions with the only highlight being Gnonto's seemingly late winning strike, but then Swansea replied even later and deserved their point dumping Leeds into second by goal difference.

My punt on Burnley as champions could now pay out. It all now hinges on that April fixture.

[ElKapitan]

Totally..... But these are the games when you scrape by and rely on players doing the basics right. Rely on the will to win and fight for the cause. Too many cowered physically today.... O'Brien ran the show..... That

You also rely on the management to look at the data and get rid of the also rans..... Its a joke with the budget we have that we have a threadbare squad with several of the players we do have not being even mid table standard.

Happily see Farke gone..... one dimensional football and poor squad building with the budget of few in the championship. Ramazani fought when he came on showed more bite and anger than the others combined.

Gnonto was great too.....

Neither have been afforded minutes at any point this season..... Aarronsson hasn't had a rest. Rodin hasn't had a rest, James neither..... While Byram is a stop gap who limits our attack and shuts off anything positive on the left.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

We are guaranteed at-least a play-off place after today's results!

Given that the club's record is 6 playoffs and no promotions from any of them, it's hardly something to get excited about.

I have a feeling that for some of these players getting promotion is like turkeys voting in favour of Xmas...

I said we had a tough run in, as we always struggle v the bottom half teams and the players can't cope with the pressure. I said before but the Preston game is just Blackburn all over again, early kick off in April v a side in Lancashire with nothing to play for, after a long unbeaten home run....

This is Farke's team. He built it. He decided it didn't need improving. He picks the players to go on the pitch, they play to his instructions. Okay, players have off days, but this is looking all too familiar. Go on, blame him. I do.

[John in Louisiana]

In the immortal words of Yogi Berra, it's deja vu all over again.

[SG90]

It's going to be Coventry, isn't it?

It will be Sunderland, which will be even worse

[WhiteRose]

It’s 4 points gone with meslier doing almost the exact same thing as he did vs Hull, dropping the ball at players feet, not to mention the Sunderland debacle - are there any more glaring errors this season?

Of course I blame Farke lol. His refusal to use the squad and drop non performing players has cost us so many points and with it, promotion. Just like last year.

We go one nil up, we should be going in for the kill, but we sat back and let them back into it. Just like v West Brom. This has to be his instructions.
