Don't worry Ed I'm sure a win is in the tealeaves with your visit to Elland Road imminent!

27 Nov 2025 05:27:15
Bamford given a run out for 60 mins or so and is “ player of the match” ( per bbc) . Only championship I know - thank goodness we have tha5 120 k a week goal machine Lewin instead.

Are we lucky.

27 Nov 2025 06:32:18
Meant aren’t we lucky.

Farke’s decision, he clearly referenced Pats injury history which was true, but after giving him away.

Namecheck has abductors issues which means he cannot complete a full game (even though he tries bless him)

DCL injury record on a par if not worse that Pats
Where’s that Ballotelli t-shirt, (always us! ) Chris, you’d clean up over Christmas pal.

Reports that Farke happy to let Willy and Piroe go, to raise funds, but keep BA and DCL on how much?

26 Nov 2025 23:04:33
Very quiet from the owners. Are they finally realising that they in the big boy league and that they have embarrassed themselves both as astute business men and able football team owners.
I don’t know who but none of the replacements mentioned float my boat. Any new manager will look at our squad and likely say, if I take the job you need to spend minimum 50-70 mill in January.

Something they ain’t got and even if they had, as proven, the recruitment team is crap. I suppose all we can ask for is a manager with better game management and no favourites. They most likely will have same squad.
Well done Bamford. You all know my feelings about Bamford but I’d have him any day over what we have. Far superior team player.

I feel really upbeat after that post Aus, you're probably spewin’ in yer breakie whilst delivering that post, I’m just thinking what’s the point in living while I’m tucking myself into bed.
Cheers 👍.

Sorry mate. I must admit it gets me down a bit. I know it’s just a game but I had high hopes for the season. Thought it would go reasonably well and we would be 13-14 or something. It’s just all fallen apart at the moment and it’s both annoying and depressing. Can’t feel good about the current situation. Can’t be happy or optimistic atm.

27 Nov 2025 03:46:10
It's yanks giving today/ yesterday/ tomorrow I don't know how their stupid time system works, but sometimes around now.

I doubt the 49ers will be doing much until Monday.

27 Nov 2025 07:04:31
It’s been confirmed, Farke’s going nowhere soon.
Perhaps can now focus on the games instead.

27 Nov 2025 08:13:38
Yep. Looking forward to the game. Will be a corker.

27 Nov 2025 08:24:15
Sorry to point out the obvious but it's only a game mate, shouldn't get you down as much as this there is more to live for.

27 Nov 2025 12:36:54
Can I sue for copyright ed? Alf clearly copied my above post without referencing me. We can settle out of court if you like Alf. Put a splinter in dcl foot and we square.

27 Nov 2025 13:11:32
i put a splinter where DCL couldn't possibly miss it but somehow he did.

27 Nov 2025 23:33:18
Well the owners didn't have to look any further than the recruitment team to pick up a couple of turkey's for Thanksgiving.

28 Nov 2025 04:15:48
And yet it's that recruitment team who will identify and propose the next manager.

Morning siblings, bit of a dichotomy we find ourselves in or what. For myself, well, I was happy with DF and the squad after the first few games, we seemed competitive and unified, all good, but then something, I dunno what, changed. Maybe as early as the second half against Wet Spam and now there is a massive disconnect between the fans and DF. The thing that irks most I guess is his point blank refusal to utilise the squad and adapt. Parker changed his set up to play us, it worked, Emery adjusted, it worked, just 2 examples. Again Saturday good first half but no reaction to the Villa changes and then everything too little too late.

Dumping your manager is a roll of the dice, who knows, but DF has to show something to survive, once you get into a poor run of results it's incredibly difficult to turn it around and then if there's something strange in your football club, who you going to call. There is no silver bullet but we are fast approaching the point where a new broom is the only option left to try and clear away the mess, because after the next few games it could be dire. Here's hoping DF can pull a few rabbits outta the hat and with a bit of confidence who knows. UTWDTP and lots of em!

Agree 100% with first paragraph.
But our next three opponents have all shown Signs of weakness of late, so I say kick him out now and see if we can get a bounce and sneak a point or two. Might not. But only one way to find out. believe me, if we can’t beat Burnley etc. farke will get zero against the next three.

26 Nov 2025 07:14:25
Well of course Aus you have to factor in the fact that all things considered, we have about as much appeal as a ten to two bird at a nightclub 😁.

26 Nov 2025 07:43:30
What happens if the new gaffer doesn't get a reaction? Doesn't get bounce points? How long before the impatient become restless and start baying for his head? We biffing him, and all of a sudden, it's 6m down the pan which would be a great loan fee for a capable striker?!
Playing devil's advocate now, as I honestly don't know what's the right course of action for the club to take at this moment.

Not even sure there is a right way.

26 Nov 2025 08:21:50
I’d give the new gaffer 3 games before I start getting miffed 😬
Nobody knows if we will bounce or not and you are right, it’s always an expensive risk, trying a new manager. Shorter contract so pay off Dosent hurt that much. Lower salary heavy on win bonuses. ( not like dcl 😩 ) .
But it has to be done. And should have already.

26 Nov 2025 22:33:48
Black smoke see at Elland Road top meeting to look a new manger.

26 Nov 2025 06:03:51
Are we there yet?

26 Nov 2025 07:45:26
I'll tell you when we're there, young man! Now sit down, shut up, look outta the window, and for God's sake, stop kicking the back of my seat!

26 Nov 2025 08:22:40
Hilarious bright. All parents the same eh.

25 Nov 2025 21:56:04
I know who their manager is, but have to say enjoyed the Boro vs Coventry game tonight, Coventry certainly have better strikers than we do just now, obviously too late and unlikely to sell but Simms or Hagi Wright would have been an upgrade on what we have to call on currently.

Agree3 Disagree0

25 Nov 2025 23:02:50
They are killing that league and possibly breaking points record. Ipswich also in form and on the up too. Agree re strikers class.

25 Nov 2025 23:45:37
Gutted for Boro, I thought they fully deserved the win. Great game though.

26 Nov 2025 07:46:55
The question is, has the receding, fat one learned from experience, or has he just got lucky?

26 Nov 2025 08:23:35
Found a lucky bone in meat pie I reckon. Inherited a decent team.

25 Nov 2025 21:55:15
I've just watched Boro against Coventry. A really good game and a very impressive Coventry side who are now ten points clear.

A Big thanks for Sky TV for rubbing up every Leeds Fan who travel by train for the Chelsea Game.

Its bad enough for a 20:00hrs kick-off but on this occasion it's 15mns later.

No chance to travel home using public transport to anywhere further than our county borders.

The consequences include that you cannot book a reasonable hotel bedroom for less than £200 for the night.

No doubt that Chelsea travellers have also picked up some of the available bedrooms.

Thanks again Sky, you are doing a great job!

Inconsiderate jokers, that lot!

27 Nov 2025 01:37:17
Probably based on "police advice" given with the objective of dissuading Chelski fans from travelling here so's go make life easier for themselves. Fans don't matter to them.

25 Nov 2025 12:44:44
Haven't posted for a few weeks - just sitting watching it all unravel. It's all a bit doom and gloom at the moment that's for sure.

Surprisingly though, the various pundits on the BBC (both tv and radio) seem more upbeat about our survival chances than most of us do.

However, like most of us, they can't seem to see where we are going to pick up points from in the next few games - worrying times indeed.

I'm still optimistic that we will survive providing we don't let our heads drop.

I suspect that Farke's downfall will be his refusal to change (picking certain players, late substitutions, same format etc. ) , which in many ways was Bielsa's un-doing - a refusal to change.

I saw McAtee's name mentioned below as a possible loan signing in January - a good call. I'd also throw Harvey Elliot into the mix. Sitting on his backside doing nothing at the Villa currently. Either would hopefully provide us with that spark we so desperately need upfield at the moment.

If, or should that be 'when', Farke goes, I'm going to throw a name into the replacement hat - currently unavailable but if a certain result doesn't go his way he might be interested - Craig Bellamy.

Absolute pain in the backside as a player, but he's a fighter. He wouldn't be afraid to tell the players exactly what he thinks. Brings a tremendous energy and spirit to the game and, knows nearly half of our squad already!

All conjecture and who knows what the next 4 or 5 games may bring? Hoping for five wins on the trot naturally:)

MOT guys, we're still in this!

Fair post mate. Time will tell. We all want the same thing. 👍.

25 Nov 2025 15:57:57
Excellent post Cleggy as always.

Had never considered Bellamy but think he has done a fair job with Wales.

25 Nov 2025 16:35:10
Great post, and a great, leftfield-ish shout on Bellamy!

25 Nov 2025 16:46:21
Good post Cleggy. I never thought of Bellamy either. He will see this WC play off out and personally, even if Wales miss out, I think he will stay on there. To have any chance of attracting any decent players in January, we must stay in the mix.
