Leeds banter 9

10 Feb 2026 21:48:11
That was ugly, but the guts, determination, self-belief and never say die attitude that that has become a key factor of this squad was evident again.

This group is going to see us safely clear of the relegation zone.

A bit of luck for a change also doesn't hurt (Palmer must have been watching my highlights reels 😆) .

10 Feb 2026 22:14:21
Was just going to use a lot of the same terminology, jungle! Blood and guts, and a gritty, battling fightback. Great spirit from the lads, and a very valuable point on the road, in the capital!
Kudos to the Manchester red sox for pegging back the spammers too!

10 Feb 2026 22:29:18
He didn't believe he'd missed that did he.

11 Feb 2026 07:47:29
I must admit to laughing a lot at that, Canada!

10 Feb 2026 21:36:58
That's a real bonus point tonight.

And to make it even better, Spurs have lost and we've gone up to 15th. :)

Not something I say very often but come on Man U, beat the Hammers!

10 Feb 2026 22:11:33
Will take a draw from them .

10 Feb 2026 21:34:42
Where did that come from? thanks Chelsea.

Otherwise just awful . think they thought and were told there was going to be a hounding tonight and they played like it . in turn another point

MOT.

Our xG at ht is 0.01
Ouch!

10 Feb 2026 21:52:08
That high?

10 Feb 2026 19:59:45
Bornauw is miles off it tonight.
Out of position at least 3 times and totally at fault for the goal.

Hook him and put JJ back there and go 2 up top as Nmecha is so isolated.

We look shocking defensively.

10 Feb 2026 20:33:00
Set up all wrong again, inviting pressure.

10 Feb 2026 22:32:36
He wasn't alone
Darlows reading of the game tonight was urine,

10 Feb 2026 19:55:52
Can't watch but commentary reads like a grudge match, there'll be a red card before it ends!

10 Feb 2026 20:11:18
You don’t wanna watch, been absolutely woeful.
Zero attacking threat,
Defence all over the place.
Farke reverting to type.
10 men behind the ball.

10 Feb 2026 21:14:15
Okafor on for Bornauw and gone to a 4;4:2 sort of formation and all of a sudden we look better at the back and at the front. 2:2 and game on.

10 Feb 2026 21:57:42
Got away with robbery there but who cares.
😂🤣😂.

10 Feb 2026 18:46:42
Calvert-Lewin out. Not seen any explanation as yet.

10 Feb 2026 19:08:28
He’s out due to an illness apparently, not injury.
Nmecha will replace him to score a Leeds hat trick.

10 Feb 2026 19:11:54
Some kind of “illness, ” according to Sky?

10 Feb 2026 19:30:02
Like Namecheck for a free think he’s done ok, gives it a proper go each time, and understand not risking DCL in this game.

Glad to see Browncow get a run but incredibly difficult test tonight Pedro always played well against us for Watford.

10 Feb 2026 12:52:27
I’d take two beatings and a win from the next three games.
If we manage to get a win from these matches we are as good as safe from relegation.

10 Feb 2026 13:13:54
Agree corkey. Don’t like the word beatings as that seems like laying down. But as I have said. We have bigger battles to face with our lower level comrades. Happy with anything from next three prem games. Let’s focus on the should win not the could.

Maybe.
I know that anything can happen etc etc. but it’s a numbers game. More likely to beat Sunderland. Wolves. Palace and spam. That’s enough.
Just give every game home or AWAY. Hell.

10 Feb 2026 13:56:13
Whatever happens next is either a write off or a bonus and should have little to no impact on our safety.

March onwards is what will define our season.

March-ing on together.

10 Feb 2026 14:32:57
Crazy to think that 2 more wins with five or six draws may be enough?
Obviously I’d want more wins and with 13 games left I reckon four plus wins is doable.

10 Feb 2026 14:45:59
It's a squeaky time of the season lads, don't think you can single out matches now as harder or easier. All teams are fighting for something whether it be at the top and Euros, down the bottom for survival or pride, mid table to build and of course cup involvement. The big thing for us is ER of course and no one will relish coming there. I like our chances against Chelsea, Villa and Citeh as much as anyone else. Whatever we have to keep the hammer down.

10 Feb 2026 15:54:38
We've got Sunderland, Brentford, Wolves, Burnley and Brighton at ER and I see at least 9 points there, maybe more. Then Villa, Palace, #### Utd, Bournemouth and Spuds away are all possible 1 pointers too. I'm hoping for min 9, max 17 from that lot leaving us on anything from 38 to 46.🤞.

10 Feb 2026 17:17:42
Shouldn't be happy with no beatings the team should give 100% every game!
Get @ them tonight and see how it goes!
Would be happy with a point!
Up The Whites Down The Pints 🤍💛💙.

10 Feb 2026 18:04:36
Agree Corkey, a win out of these three would be excellent. 9 points would be more than acceptable though! 🤣.

10 Feb 2026 19:27:30
And bear in mind, however many more points we get, Wet Spam need to get at least 6 more, and they still have to play matches against 5 of the current top 6. Our run in won't be easy, but I'd rather be where we are than where they are.

Five ex Leeds players on the pitch last night, in the Blunts vs Boro game,

Blunts; Paddy, good goal, missed an easy one, Rothwell, sub but sent off for horrendous tackle, KP sub involved in Paddy’s goal looked rusty, and Hjelde late sub.

Boro; Luke played CB and was best of the bunch I thought but none of them looked epl standard.

Malanda at CB for Boro looked an amazing find, but you do have to remind yourself of the chasm of difference between championship and the epl.

Same applies to young Boro skipper Hackney who looks a class above everyone at championship level.

10 Feb 2026 09:47:49
Was thinking this morning. Think Bor and Ipswich automatic but not sure who else.
It will be interesting to see ( if we survive ) how much better we are to the promoted sides.

Has a change in tactics ( more direct ) opened it up a bit? Does it negate the skill factor of the players the top 5 or 6 buy?
Good luck to all our old boys.

10 Feb 2026 11:35:29
I was a tad disappointed with Whitaker. Last season I thought he was ready for the PL, and a player we should have considered buying, but he was good but not exceptional.

10 Feb 2026 12:31:56
It was a good game and should have been 3-2 to sheff utd if not for two Bamford misses.

Great goal from KP to Harmer to Bamford.

I still think we should have picked up KP.

10 Feb 2026 12:55:21
Surely not mot. Bamford misses. No way.

10 Feb 2026 13:57:34
I know Aus, it's hard to believe Bamford missed an open net. It's a first!

Joking aside, I was hoping he would be scoring goals for fun in the champo.

Hopefully wilder continues to build a Leeds squad and buys Piroe and meslier from us!

10 Feb 2026 15:58:19
Nobody will buy Meslier mot.
Window is shut and he can be signed for free in the summer.
