Given the Start we had this season after the exodus of Judas, judas, judas, judas judas and Judas etc DF has done an amazing job. So were we are right now is a credit to him. i sure everyone on here agrees we would have settled for the table as it is now. i however would prefer a two horse race for the title rather than a four horse race for promotion but beggars cannot be choosers so i would imagine 100pts secures second spot at least. hail king Daniel.

I
Think you forgot to mention Judas!
2.) 20 Mar 2024 09:38:32
I think 101 is gettable for us. Depends what others get. going to be a scrap. That’s for sure.
3.) 20 Mar 2024 13:11:06
100 points will secure top 2 imo
The fact that 3 other teams
including little ole League 1 Ipswich ( hats off to McKenna doing much better comparatively with a weaker squad than Farke, Maresca and Martin )
are in the Top 2 race,
Leeds fans may want to rein in the
" Leeds Legend" and " King " Farke stuff until hopefully he wins league
And if we weren't to go up.

What about your god Belisa… he didn’t go up first season either. In a poorer leauge with a better hand? Farke got more points than Belisa when he got us promoted.
Put that five times here… no respons… wonder why baz
I’d be delighted if we go up
Leeds go up many on this site are right and you’d have to put one thing on here
I baz was wrong! Litterally all my Christmas come at once!

Another day another Berma Bielsa rant Zzzz
By the way Berma . Bielsa is not my ' god' . only 5th best Leeds manager/ coach ever imo.
6.) 20 Mar 2024 20:16:01
5th best
In all honesty what’s top four? You have supported leeds longer than me so I have huge gaps in my kwonlehde so would value your opinion on this.
7.) 20 Mar 2024 20:32:24
Berm no way did Bielsa have a better hand than Farke.
Not many from that MB side get in this current team.
Pablo, Bamford obviously and dare I say maybe Phillips?!
Ayling Douglas Cooper Klich Harrison Kiko not a chance! Forget Ben White, he’d walk in.
This side literally has much more quality and depth.
8.) 20 Mar 2024 20:43:07
Spot on Corky . not even a debate about it.
9.) 20 Mar 2024 21:13:02
Cork course he did!
Belisa took a stable team, invested 20 million in a star striker (bamford was integral to besila team) he had Harrison, klich Dallas and number of players who did a job in the prem. granted bubs improved them.
Farke had a load of really odd loans, players leaving the sinking ship and couple who stayed wanted to leave but staying. He then had misfits like firpo, struijk, James
Farke stablised the team, got the most fits firing and brought players like gnoto in from out of the cold
He played a worse hand than Belisa just did it perfectly
No one had us for promotion after a summer of nonsense even our own oricle had us 6th at best
When Belisa took over we was bookies favs…. Says it all
Plus this years leauge is far harder.
10.) 20 Mar 2024 22:01:00
Bamford cost £8m. James cost £25m.

Hi Guys
thanks to some of you for the nice welcome on my last post in may.
i have to say this as it is my opinion but having had the pleasure of watching the great side i have come to the conclusion of deja vu. Reaney, Charlton, Hunter and Cooper. absolutely class then behind them is Gary ("you are the weakest link, goodbye") Sprake. fast forward 50 odd years and we have what i would call a fairly decent defence and then behind them. well well well. another weak link in Mez. why has no one thought about signing a new keeper in Jan. even if we had Maldini puyol Baresi and Cafu in defence we would still be in the same position IMO. thoughts on this one guys.
1.) 20 Dec 2023 07:35:52
Do you really want to know Revie?
It seems now the unpassable narrative has been created for young Meslier, meaning no matter what he does he will be condemned. He could save a game and win us points like against Leicester and people will still pick out faults or there’s a defensive error and an unstoppable goal will be scored and apparently people will say, he was rooted to the spot.
He can’t win basically, because people are just repeating other people’s bilge with in my opinion not knowing what they talking about.
Just parrots.
Mez’s time will come, no he’s not the finished article because of his young age and inexperience, but he is doing pretty well considering.
Think to yourself, if he was that bad that some fans make him out to be, do you think he’d still be the number 1 keeper for Leeds?
Why not Darlow? What’s wrong with him, he’s got a decent history as an experienced keeper?
Was it because he didn’t impress in his one or two games he played?
I’m no expert in goalkeepers, I just see Meslier for who he is and where he is in his career as a professional goalkeeper, but it seems there are a lot of fans who proclaim to be.
2.) 20 Dec 2023 09:33:00
I’m guilty as charged where Mess is concerned OP., I would advocate getting another strong keeper in January if at all possible. Again, he came up with three, four amazing saves against Coventry.
He has a great reach and excels at long range saves, he does reasonably well at one v ones but there’s no denying the lad has a touch of the Dracula syndrome. He’s terrified of crosses, and we have to agree to disagree over the Leicester save as it’s four yards from goal and he didn’t even need to jump he could of raised his arms and plucked it in the air before five feet two inch Dewsbury-Hall had headed it goalwards.
Miraculous recovery save yes, but teams have worked out it’s a weakness the commentators were saying it for the Coventry game that they’re putting everything in the six yard box (not eighteen) as he won’t come and punch or claim crosses.
Have a look at the Thomas goal for Coventry, we lost possession granted, the cross should not have been allowed to come in granted, Archie was ball watching gra need but the lad heads in a floated cross from the six yard line with Mess frozen on his goal line.
Now I admit it’s not a level playing field as Gio’s misses aren’t criticised as much as Mess’s errors that’s because someone else can score a goal and mask that weakness, but nobody else can use their hands or claim crosses that should be a keepers other than Mess.
I don’t think Farke will change (and no, I can’t explain why) but I believe he should and that teams will continue to score from inside our six yard box because our young keeper has this fundamental flaw.
Just my opinion, same as RTG but we’re all entitled to different views, I’m still confident of automatic promotion but gawd forbid Joe Rodon gets injured and this issue will be more obvious.
3.) 20 Dec 2023 10:06:08
I am with you Opti The times he has saved us far outweigh the one fault, he sometimes has, which is the claiming of crosses. That I think will come in time and with the help of a good goalkeeping coach. For now he punches (fairly effectively) and protects his goal that way. As for the goals conceded, re-look at them and a large portion of the blame lies with outfield players, missed tackles. out of position, etc.
4.) 20 Dec 2023 10:54:23
A better gk than gash Mes last season and Leeds would still be an EPL side no question.
Sprake made some high profile gaffes but still way better than Mes
Darlow has just 200 appearances in 12.seasons. he is mediocre 2nd stream or 3rd back up keeper at best.
5.) 20 Dec 2023 12:13:20
Darlow looked very iffy in the two League Cup games, and didn't look like saving any of the eleven penalties he faced at Salford.
6.) 20 Dec 2023 13:01:52
To be fair to Meslier, we don't know how he is coached/ advised in training.
It appears that he stays on his line too much, when he should be pushing his way through to claim the ball (which allows goals against v Sunderland and Coventry)
I have also been critical of his poor displays, but given praise when he has played well
Maybe Meslier will improve, but for me I'm getting impatient and want it now, to give us a stronger chance of gaining promotion
The Rotherham keeper looks extremely good and probably cheap too.
7.) 20 Dec 2023 13:52:15
There is no way Prem teams would be keeping tabs on and interested in Meslier if he was as hopeless as the haters make him out.
8.) 20 Dec 2023 14:21:31
Mez never fulfilled his potential and some ways has gone backwards.
But let’s be honest he by no means is one of the worst keepers in the division.
If we get promoted then that’s another story.
9.) 20 Dec 2023 14:25:13
Yes LUFCFeath I was surprised by Darlow on the pens shootout he isn't pushing even Mes on that showing
That's just it Leeroy he hasn't improved on basics and approaching 200 games
Leeds should have gone for the Rotherham keeper in summer window as I advised.
10.) 20 Dec 2023 14:36:34
Prem teams allegedly keeping tabs Alf? . yet no offers for him . from anyone ?.
11.) 20 Dec 2023 17:52:52
Window isn't open Baz.
12.) 20 Dec 2023 19:58:38
Aren't Bayern supposedly keeping tabs on Meslier.
13.) 20 Dec 2023 23:36:32
Rotherham's keeper was their player of the season. Definitely worth a punt on him.
14.) 21 Dec 2023 00:35:25
He was also in the Championship Team of the season last season Feath, I think he would be a bargain and would be brilliant as a genuine challenger to Mess.
15.) 21 Dec 2023 09:43:44
If I could add a little to the mez debate. Having seen a few hull games last season I did think darlow would maybe have broken into the team at Leeds this year. He looked good and a cut above championship level.
I think rather than regressing teams have been exploiting the weakness in mez. Packing the box for corners and crowding mez on crosses.
Ultimately I think if mez doesn't put a bit of bulk on in next few years and learn to command his box he will never be a great keeper in English football.
I think if and when we go up a more experienced keeper will be bought.

Hi Guys
New on here, been following Leeds united since i was 7, now 59 so getting on a bit so take it easy on me. Needed to join some banter page as i am frustrated at moment with all that's going on.
WTF are we doing at the moment someone please clarify. "We've had our ups and downs" but as i live in Nottingham. i can't take any more of the Florist's fans crap (lol) .
1.) 10 May 2023 15:05:27
Dont worry Florists are abysmal away from home and still likely going down imo . they will lose all 3 of their remaining games.
2.) 10 May 2023 15:06:42
Welcome RTG.
3.) 10 May 2023 21:18:39

Not really one for making prections, especially re: Leeds.
so all i have to say is i agree with the posters on here that it is time to give joseph some serious minutes.
19 Mar 2024 08:48:29
taking into account all your predictions guys, about the top four and who plays who and what points we got etc etc, let's just hope that, joe, amps, DJ and connor come back injury free from international duty. or we could be up a the creek without a paddle.
08 Mar 2024 08:43:01
For me, i want the Hull game out of the way. think that is a tricky one.
07 Mar 2024 10:33:38
for me its a toss up between Harvey and Lukic as the best goalie Leeds ever had. it is just my opinion. but i would love Mes to prove me wrong in the future.
29 Feb 2024 08:00:00
more than a match for Che££sea billionaires. but honestly. Firpo. come on . would not look out of place in league two. you are the weakest link. goodbye.
