Leeds Utd v West Brom Match Thread - UNCUT HIGHLIGHTS.

[weasel]

Why BG ?

He's nowhere near his final 11 yet, what's the problem, we can all see what he's up against.

I'm dreading getting beat but i'm expecting it if i'm honest, the current players available are just not good enough, we're very close to scraping the barrel.

It doesn't take much of a run to go on in the Championship to get you right up there, we've got to get to this International break to re assess where we're at, i'll be very worried myself if he's still only got these players that he has available for the Brom game then.

Very worried indeed, but atm we can't expect miracles, a win is a complete bonus imo.

The present situation reminds me a bit of how the end of Bielsa's tenure was. Half a team missing, having to start players who weren't good enough and yet fans were somehow expecting us to not only be compettiive but to win the matches. Thankfully it seems like

Farke is a bit like Bielsa and he won't moan and make excucses but will try to find a solution using what he has and I wouldn't be surprised if we get something out of the game.

LUFC fined 150K for homophobic chanting at Brighton ..

Why fine the club?

Do they expect LUFC to gag the idiots?

I'm a firm believer that confidence breeds wins and wins breed confidence so taking into account that we've lost the majority of our PL team who admittedly weren't pulling up any trees they would have coped better with a less than convincing start to a championship campaign given age & experience. My fear now is DF has got a lot of young less experienced players to work with who may be more affected by the lack of good results (if we lose to WBA & subsequent games) which can quickly escalate into a succession of defeats as seen in the PL unfortunately therefore the confidence levels are virtually non existent and wins become harder & harder to come by.
I appreciate there are 2 weeks left in this window and DF has only just started but from a young players mindset the longer the team goes without a win the light at the end of the tunnel gets dimmer. All being well DF knows his targets and TA plus 1 or 2 others can sort out their differences and we'll begin September in better shape. It is a long season and plenty of time to mount an assault but let's hope we don't lose sight of the leaders coat tails and hey...we might just win tomorrow !
Need a feckin drink after that, toodle pip !

Still well short of my record.

I heard a few of the chants, it was the usual boring stuff that I’ve heard several times we’ve played Brighton.

I’d like to think the dead heads would get bored of singing this stuff, obviously not.

I've been feeling it's exactly that way, and yes more worryingly some fans still want a result, i see BG's point but the bigger picture is looking like lots of huffing and puffing again with no end product.

I hope i'm wrong and get any sort of win whilst hopefully coming through it unscathed.

I think we've only Salford after this then we can see where we're at.

The last time we played West Brom at Elland Road

A very sad day I was one of fortunate 8,000 fans attending the game

What an odd day that was.

Checks to get into the pubs, walking round with masks on, checks and passes to get into the ground, goodbyes to Berardi and Pablo.

Strange old day.

I'll never forget the fans singing the Pablo song after he went off. I was welling up myself. Such a shame that only 8000 got to witness it. Gaetano and Pablo deserved a full house send off.

Left LUFC too early imo, Chilli.

LUFC fined 150K for homophobic chanting at Brighton ..

The BBC news story would have it that every Leeds speccy sang the song for the full ninety minutes, plus 6 minutes added on.

Was a strange day mate.

Going back, was it a season earlier?

Let me underline your point Weasel ... this is the team Bielsa had to put out at Man City (lost 7-0) .. Klich, Gelhardt and Drameh had to be subs even though they were just returning from injuries ... Bielsa had no chance

oh, and Bielsa Bielsa Bielsa Bielsa ... do I get the record?

[Billys Statue]

Let's be clear about one thing, WBA aren't coming to Elland Road to sit back and soak up pressure ... Corberan will be coming to win ... Leeds away will have been highlighted as one of the most difficult games of the season, but with Leeds struggling to put their strongest 11 out, WBA know this is a great chance to get three points when they may have settled for one

If WBA attack from the off and go at Leeds, it may become very ugly ... Leeds need to score first, it's hard to chase games in the Championship, we've experienced that misery far too often

Leeds can win tonight, but we will have to go at WBA and put them under pressure ... like so many Championship teams they are ok going forward but shaky at the back

I'm dreading going to this match tonight.

Can't see us winning this.
