perhaps but i bet he covers more ground than Strujik
Leeds need to bring in a midfielder who can score goals and a decent number 9 in Jan 2027.

Won't get to see this tonight, have fun everyone.

Im still twitchy about the possibility of the two games v Shiteh will in some way bookend our good run.

Tonight will tell.

I've had that thought as well Ian....started great with Citeh, ends badly with Citeh. Also the fact that Farke will be up in the stands.
(Honestly, I wish I was a more positive person :roll: )

Apparently, it was too early to make a decision about Farke's red card yet

No ban was issued, social media assumed he was banned.

I think we've come to see that now as our first 11, even with Okafor out

Says a lot for four of the top 5 summer signings

Has Bijol Jannsoned himself with giving away that penalty at Chelsea? Don’t know if this has been discussed previously?

I doubt it, it's probably part the form of Justin and part Bijol's defensive limitations. He's good in the oppositions box, bit of a one trick pony in our defence.

He didn't do himself any favours but I think it's more to do with the form of Justin
