What a mistake by Farke should have played Parri but no he plays Darlow, I think Darlow is a great pro but this says already farke has made a mistake signing Parri and Darlow is starting Saturday.

I wanted Perri to play again. Get a bit more experience. But Darlow does need to stay match sharp too.Johnsie123 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 6:11 pm What a mistake by Farke should have played Parri but no he plays Darlow, I think Darlow is a great pro but this says already farke has made a mistake signing Parri and Darlow is starting Saturday.

Re: Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Only surprise for me is Harrison at left back. Makes it even more clear why Farke wanted to keep him.
Not sure why Justin James isn't on the bench

Generally I agree.Ellandback1 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 25, 2025 3:47 pm I'd be quite happy not to be in any Cup competition this season - we have bigger fish to fry. It won't however look look if the Wendies knock us out...
But this particular cup game, could not be better timing after a very bad day at the office on Saturday. Time to shake out the nightmares and show a bit of creativity - no disrespect to Wednesday. If they beat us, then fine - we know where we have to focus.

I'm sort of torn on this one.Johnsie123 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 6:11 pm What a mistake by Farke should have played Parri but no he plays Darlow, I think Darlow is a great pro but this says already farke has made a mistake signing Parri and Darlow is starting Saturday.
On one hand I agree, Parri should start again to get the cobwebs out (or whatever the hell was the problem on Saturday!?)
But on the other hand - he was given the No.1 jersey from Le Mes when he came through the door, and played poorly in game 1. So this is a bit of a swat around the head to shape up - just because you have the jersey doesn't mean you're a shoe-in.
And yes - good to keep Darlow sharp.

Wonder if all the legal clearances, etc. are in place? We don't know what's going on when a contract is negotiated. The lad may be moving houseandrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 6:17 pm Only surprise for me is Harrison at left back. Makes it even more clear why Farke wanted to keep him.

Re: Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Well people have been barking on about "creativity" That's a pretty creative move, No? Personally I think Leeds fans have to get over themselves about Jack and his mum!? He has lots to offer this squad and if the manager says he has the right attitude and is working hard, I say, use him where, when needed.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 6:17 pm Only surprise for me is Harrison at left back.

I'm also really interested he has given the armband to Byram. I think that says something about his status in the squad. He's a loyal subject to the crown and the peasants.
