Listen up this is a big game Leeds have beeb negligent in getting a win lately and giving the chasing pack hope hope we get the guys back injury free from the international break
Our current form is terrible where is it going wrong? Where is the hunger and desire to win the ball. Swansea had it and pressed us and got their reward. Other so called lowly opposition teams that we have yet to play will be following suit and we need to get back to winning and quickly.
Six games ago we were clear top of table by 2points. Our poijnts tally from the last six games is 9 same as WBA. Whilst other teams have picked up points we have dropped them. On this form we wouldn't make the playoffs, Burnley and Sheff Utd would fill the automatic slots whilst Boro, Coventry, Bristol City and Sunderland would fill the playoff places; in that order
Just as well we got the points on the board for the playoffs before this downturn in form!
Just read and listened to Farke's presser, he's 100% convinced we're going to the Premiership (however didn't mention which year).
Excuses were made because we had 14 players away on international duty and we only had the one training session.
He's not wrong, but other teams up there (this and last season) strengthened/enlarged their squad. We chose not to, again! Don't tell me there aren't weaknesses in this side/squad.
Keeper, playmaker (before today Aaronson didn't score or create a goal for ages), other than Piroe we've got nobody! Looking at Joseph, he now looks like a bodybuilder trying to run, either that or he doesn't want to be here. Thank god, the wait is nearly over → Bamford is close to nearing full fitness, just a few more weeks... Don't hold your breath.
Farke didn't want to point the finger at Meslier at all for the mistake'(s), which is fair enough, but at the same time, he goes on to blame Tanaka for conceding the corner.
Mind you, the vIbes coming out from the team are still, very positive.
Really?
Automatic promotion 100% sure?
To me it feels like a max 10% chance, and that's because both Sheffield and Burnley are weaker than Leicester and Ipswich were. And the former 2 have to play each other.
Meslier made a great pen save and another good one but then followed that up by a very big gaffe and I think every keeper would be disappointed in failing to stop their second goal. Not for the first time he has proven to be an erratic, prone to mistakes goalkeeper.
As per usual with Leeds one can sense these kind of results and performances coming. All this BS about playing 8 cup-finals, a) the're not cup-finals, it just put pressure on ourselves and we just need to continue like we've done most of this season b) we suck at playing finals.
Team and defence didn't look solid or strong at all, from the midfielders only James and Rothwell turned up. Why on earth would you start with Ampadu who had been out for so long.
Once again and like Enoch says, i do fear it will be playoffs again (but perhaps without a trip to Wemberly).
After last season faillure I half expected the board to come out and say ok, we made a mistake by not strengthening when we could.
Guess this time round they won't admit that trying to go up on the cheap could once more backfire.
Haha Smurf and you just can't help yourself and had to get snippets in for a mini MDT.... can't blame you in the least after your fantastic run and keep em coming 👍⚽
Quality MDT Mouseman and good luck for a prolonged run....
We surely have too much for them and will yet again be a case of needing a creative spark to break down 10 behind the ball. We thought we'd found that with Gnonto but it's all gone very quiet with his injury news.... I'd play Ramazani in the role, if Gnonto is unavailable, but sure we'll go back to Aaronson.
I'm going for a positive 2-0 win with Piroe notching a brace against his old club....

Glass not even half full tonight.
A lot of upset fans booed at the end of the game
Well that was a lucky escape

Absolute sh1te.
Team of bottlers. Meslier needs dropping.
Playoff disappointment again.
Ah well, there's always next season.
NOT
The sound of silence.
Who doesnt love our Willy.
The Keeper is having a blinder from the sounds of it. Saved a penalty and a big goal chance for Swansea.
Utterly outmanaged again.
What's the point in Brenden Aaronson
Oh....😆
Their mascot is Cyril the Swan and he was voted Best Mascot by readers of the BBC's Match of the Day magazine.
4-1 to Leeds, goals from James, Solomon, Struijk and Piroe.
Good luck Mouseman. We need a good last 8 games from you.
I'm not going to the game so no WF as I CBA.
I think we'll win, 3-0. I'm gutted that Gnonto is injured, looks like the lad that is good at running will start again.

Nice work sir.
Let's get these meaningless internationals out of the way and get on with these 8 cup finals.
Leeds to get the first of 8 under their belt (but without Gnonto)
Leeds 2 - 0 Swansea
And we have a one off shirt for this game
