So is that Gruev, Tanaka and Ampadu all injured for the Fulham game?
1.) 09 Sep 2025 06:34:03
Amps might be back.
2.) 09 Sep 2025 12:53:08
also hearing Ao is back in training
although Perri may have an injury.
09 Nov 2024 09:52:23
So apparently firpo has been suspended for 3 games for
Violent conduct against Millwall starting with todays game? Apparently we have been informed this morning - the morning of the game .
1.) 09 Nov 2024 12:37:07
Just seen the footage. This is an utter joke of a decision. Was as violent as blowing out a candle! What was much more violent, was our old assistant, Pep Clotet’s shaking by the neck of his player who had just been red carded! Look it up, it’s brilliant!
2.) 09 Nov 2024 13:34:24
Wasn't his neck at all. False reporting. It was his shirt. Grabbed it upper chest region. No contact made with neck whatsoever.
3.) 09 Nov 2024 13:38:58
Whatever Walter……??♂️.
4.) 09 Nov 2024 17:06:17
Myopic. Attend Specsavers. Virtually every single person on the planet would engage immediate self-defense when attacked in the neck but no such reaction from the player.
5.) 10 Nov 2024 07:06:49
One likes one’s own posts…………. ??.
6.) 10 Nov 2024 12:15:20
One thing is for certain gents, WE ALL LOVE LEEDS! MOT.
7.) 10 Nov 2024 15:52:35
Indeed Hooksie. That’s one thing I don’t doubt.
16 Aug 2024 08:49:31
Anyone seen or heard Strujk to Fulham for £12.5m?
I've seen one source report it.
1.) 16 Aug 2024 09:53:03
Think you got a couple buddies below mighty.
Not sure re the rumour though. Is 12 good for struik? Could we replace him for less?
2.) 16 Aug 2024 11:20:17
12 would be awful for Pasc in my opinion.
3.) 16 Aug 2024 13:06:27
£12m would be shocking business. So we will probably sell him.
26 Jul 2024 13:02:18
See one rumour on Twitter saying we have signed Jay Fulton from Swansea for 500k? Can't find any other reference to this anywhere so I'll take it as BS.
1.) 27 Jul 2024 00:55:35
Fulton nearly signed. Not likley as player as demanded higher wage and cannot agree terms 4/ 10 likely to happen next window. , Sara early talks but way of it just sniffing around. Confient summerville staying. 5/ 10. Word is recruitment traveling to germany on koln signing a midfielder. Whispers sound legit. Woking progess 8/ 10 legit.
2.) 27 Jul 2024 06:55:22
Decent news for northwest Surrey.
3.) 27 Jul 2024 22:07:01
Pinch of salt he has been on the scout list since last season. At the moment no talks of either club in talks of a deal. Still an option in case of future sales.
4.) 28 Jul 2024 21:23:03
Kewell? Interesting name as that player probably divides opinion more than any other Leeds player.
5.) 29 Jul 2024 11:24:34
Kewell great player. end of.
13 Jul 2024 18:56:12
Sounds like Kamara to Rennes for €10m is a done deal
Not a bad player but I think Kamara put Rothwell in is an upgrade .
I don't think there is room for Gruev, Ampadu and Kamara in midfield
So similar.
1.) 13 Jul 2024 20:26:23
Kamara gone is good news imo.
2.) 13 Jul 2024 20:34:48
Kamara and Rothwell different profiles. In fact all four are different profiles to each other. Shame if he goes. Kamara was good at progressing us up the pitch. The man that made us tick between defence and attack.
Kamara a progressive passer, technical on the ball.
Rothwell more of a runner to progress play, tenacious.
Gruev has workrate, tackler, more of a lateral passer.
Ampadu deep lying playmaker, press resistant, good passing range
Room for all of them imo as each does a different job.
3.) 13 Jul 2024 22:52:44
Dillinger - Gruev isn’t just a lateral passer - probably better at longer passes into final third than Kamara.
4.) 13 Jul 2024 23:12:29
Dill The question therefore is what's Crew's profile?
5.) 14 Jul 2024 00:40:12
Kamara pass forwards? . lmao.
6.) 14 Jul 2024 07:31:09
Clu, was being reductive so could write quickly to highlight the differences between all four. Did say MORE of a lateral passer, not JUST a lateral passer fwiw.
The majority of Gruev's passing consists of short/ mid passes laterally or vertically into the middle third. Does he ping a few long balls into the final third every now and again? Sure, but nothing regularly.
He does, Baz. Kamara's play tends to be in the final two thirds and it shows in the breakdown of his passing stats. He has 6.87 progressive passes per 90, ranking him in the 86th percentile.5.97 passes into the final third, ranking him in the 84th percentile. And 1.23 passes into the penalty area, ranking him in the 84th percentile.
I've barely watched Crew tbh, George, so wouldn't wanna say without spending a bit of time watching him first.
7.) 14 Jul 2024 08:47:16
That isn’t Gruev’s natural approach. He does, and initially did, prefer to lift his head in space from deep, and play more reaching passes, similar to Kal, to the wings, and through the middle. When Farke clearly told him to keep it simple, was when the brakes were put on our faster, more flowing and varied football.
The lateral element of his play is more through managerial design than natural ability or desire.
8.) 14 Jul 2024 09:23:33
I like Kamara but all I’m saying is there isn’t room for the 4 of them
Especially with strujk now going to CB that means Ampadu likely to play in midfield and Aaronson coming back as well something has to give.
9.) 14 Jul 2024 09:56:13
Of course there's room for four players who are different profiles ? could well be Brighty. All I know is Kamara's passing stats in the attacking third are much better.
10.) 14 Jul 2024 10:33:57
Agree brighty. Def change due to farkes instruction.
Remember a few decent sprays.
And it has been reported kamara will be replaced.
11.) 14 Jul 2024 12:50:25
If it is at DF's instruction it's a weird one. Negates our ability to get up the pitch quicker. We've looked most dangerous in the transitional phase, so not sure I understand why he'd neuter part of someones game like that.
12.) 14 Jul 2024 20:43:02
Graham Smyth says another midfielder to come in, Rothwell the gray replacement.
13.) 15 Jul 2024 03:31:14
Good news.

I am looking at our first 10 games and some sort of benchmark
I'm think if we can get somewhere between 12-14 points in the first 10 games then would that be considered satisfactory?
A good points average
3 wins and 3 draws or 4 wins 2 draws
If we fall below that the points average is teetering toward relegation form .
Is that enuff games for Farke to prove himself.?
1.) 08 Sep 2025 22:26:34
A point a game is probably enough to keep you up, so if we end up with 10 points from 10 games it’s still enough to keep us from being relegation form as you would put it.
12 points from the first 10 games over the season gives us roughly 46 points and 14 over the same period gives us 53. Both way above need to survive.
Think it’s a little unfair to expect us to not lose over 60% of our games in our 1st season up.
2.) 08 Sep 2025 22:36:39
No team in EPL history has been relegated with twelve points after ten games.
So yes I’d take the 12-14 points.
3.) 08 Sep 2025 22:50:25
Farke to prove himself has he not already done that at Norwich and last two seasons at leeds, last one broke records.
4.) 09 Sep 2025 03:52:43
That was champo, Bermo.
At Premier league he has failed twice, regardless of circumstances.
I believe he will do well in the prem, however, our original contract with him was to get us promoted. He did that on the second time of asking.
He has successfully completed the mission for which he was hired. Anything extra is a bonus.
5.) 09 Sep 2025 05:38:22
I think we will be on 8 points come October and Farke gone. Rightly or wrongly.
6.) 09 Sep 2025 06:51:20
There are good opportunities for points in the next 9 games, would be happy if we had 15/ 16 points from 12, then we hit that little run of Citeh, Chelsea and Pool.
7.) 09 Sep 2025 08:05:35
Bermo, I should have e qualified my point I mean would it be enough to prove himself in the premier league
He has been an amazing manager for both us and Norwich in the champ that’s not up for any debate at all.
8.) 09 Sep 2025 15:05:51
Fair enough mighty,
Mot I would argue he never failed but was failed by club two very different things.
I went to war against nato armed with a wooden spoon and lost not sure I can be labeled as a failure.
31 Aug 2025 16:12:28
So going in to the international break ahead of City and Newcastle in the table
That'll do nicely.
1.) 31 Aug 2025 18:26:47
False dawn, we’ll be bottom of the league in a few games, you’ll see.
2.) 31 Aug 2025 18:39:18
Wow OP, you need a name change?.
3.) 31 Aug 2025 18:53:07
OP you little pickle, don't be naughty ?.
4.) 31 Aug 2025 19:02:11
lol OP.
5.) 31 Aug 2025 20:12:49
?????????.
6.) 01 Sep 2025 08:38:24
What’s wrong with being a pessimist Mezz? Don’t need a name change, it’s already there.
We’re going back to where we belong the end of this season anyways so who cares.
The 49er’s have not invested in the players we needed to stay up and Farke is no Premiership coach.
31 Aug 2025 05:30:35
Nmecha definitely offers more than Piroe at this level . When the ball was played in to him he did well holding it up and putting himself about and laying the ball off .
I don't want to be critical but James seems. Little
Off his game and Gnonto has a lot less pace than I thought he did . I was hoping that Nmecha would hold the ball and allow James and Gnonto to get in behind, I think that's why Farke is keen to add more quality in those areas.
1.) 31 Aug 2025 09:15:13
If we could magically combine the best abilities of our 3 top men, we would have a worldie. Just wish Joel could bring those aspects of his game that are lacking up a notch or two, as his finishing is excellent in the main. I can see both new signings being ahead of JP in the pecking order which begs the question, should we sell him?
30 Aug 2025 21:28:21
Good point
4 points from first 3 with 2 clean sheets
I would have absolutely taken that at the start from those 3 games
Bogle is class
Longstaff a shrewd signing
Gudmunson looking good
I thought Nmecha did ok, held the ball up well at times and DCL actually made some good runs and looked quite dangerous
Harrison and Aaronson gave us some good energy when we needed it
Once Amos and tanaka are fit we have some pretty good options but just that final ball lacking, that decision making when it's most needed, we just need to be a little quicker moving the ball but building a solid base especially at home in the PL is the first step . I feel quite good about things today.
1.) 31 Aug 2025 07:40:29
Bang on Mighty, thought Willy put in a good shift too.
30 Aug 2025 15:54:03
Not sure if he would have joined us but I wish we would have gone all out for Grealish, offered them a substantial loan fee as well.
1.) 30 Aug 2025 16:45:43
Whatever you think of Grealish there's a lot of creative ability he can bring to a team. He didn't fit in with Pep or Man City and he'll have a point to prove. Just the spark we're missing. There is an option to buy at £50m. Probably too much for Everton but I do think he'll make a big difference to their season, both with his ability and physplogically.
2.) 30 Aug 2025 17:10:50
Everton and Sunderland with big results today if we could bag a point I’d be happy but come on ER get behind them make it toxic let’s take it to them and get a win.
3.) 30 Aug 2025 17:18:18
Said that about grealish. Keep him fit and focus. Worth every cent and some.
4.) 30 Aug 2025 17:18:37

My confidence in the 49ers stewardship of this club is dwindling.
29 Jun 2024 17:21:19
Baz sounds like he’s having a medical done
£35m.
02 Jun 2024 05:18:56
Journos saying Gilchrist going to be made available for loan.

If creswell isn’t showing the right attitude then I’d rather sell.
Mightywrighty's banter replies
02 Oct 2025 15:40:38
Bright - surely if we went down again we shouldn’t be looking much further than Farke to bring his back up.
09 Sep 2025 08:05:35
Bermo, I should have e qualified my point I mean would it be enough to prove himself in the premier league
He has been an amazing manager for both us and Norwich in the champ that’s not up for any debate at all.
29 Aug 2025 05:08:59
I think Bogle is our best player currently .
I would be very tempted to play him right midfield definitely. Maybe Harrison left - both got good work rate.
12 Apr 2025 16:02:35
Feeling good what a day.
12 Jan 2025 22:07:10
Haha I can’t believe I did that
I finished watching the Tamworth game when I posted it obviously I meant the Harrogate game.
