What a great game last night. Pity about the result but the way we’re playing now is so encouraging for the rest of the season. You score 3 goals in any game and you don’t expect to lose. Firstly credit to everyone for the 3 goals scored but it’s reasonable to ask how and why we conceded 4. Looking at the chaos in our box on multiple occasions I think it’s easy to see why DF may feel he needs another CB. Difficult to assess the keeper fairly until the defence gets sorted but a pattern is emerging which isn’t positive.

We’re still light up front too when the starters need a break and we’re very exposed to injuries to key players. Hopefully we address a few of these in this window. After that we’re well placed to survive provided we win our games v Wolves and Burnley and pick up a few others along the way starting with Fulham. The West Ham game is on the final day by which time we’re hopefully safe.

In my book, Newcastle take all the credit for creating that chaos, particularly from their set pieces. Their 4/ 5 at the back of the 6yd box, steaming in as one onto Perri and creating a melee is a well worked routine, and their early whipped crosses in open play were exceptional in my eyes.

Dunno if that's what they're delivering week in, week out, but it would cause problems for most defences.

{Ed025's Note - two decent teams going toe to toe it was a great game to watch i must say Brighty, but they have very high expectations and were no better than you, it says a lot about the commitment and desire you have and you should be very proud of the team...but you have to keep that standard up mate...i think you can..

2.) 08 Jan 2026 15:38:25
Fair points lads and nice to hear you say that Ed after saying post Leeds v Everton that we were 2 poor sides, we would struggle to avoid relegation and you would not be far behind ? fair play dude?.

{Ed025's Note - i was a doubter Vid i admit that, both teams have done a little better than i expected but Leeds have come on leaps and bounds after what was a very shaky start, you are also good to watch mate which is more than i can say about Everton..

3.) 08 Jan 2026 17:12:12
Cheers Ed, and yes, very proud of the reaction of the lads to negativity and increased pressure, to really flip what looked like being a dismal season, right on its head! Brilliant from all of them, at every level imo.

{Ed025's Note - the players have really stepped up to the plate Brighty and you should be very proud of them, yes there will be losses but i can tell you that nobody fancies playing Leeds at the moment mate, if you can avoid injuries and keep suspensions to a minimum i have no doubt that you have easily enough to stay up..

4.) 08 Jan 2026 17:35:24
I think it’s right what Ed is saying, it is a testament to how we are playing and the desire to get something out of every game we play.

Newcastle this season aren’t great but they still have by far better quality players than us. To go to their ground and make the statement that we did says everything. You only have to look at the way they celebrated at the end of the game with relief that we came very close to taking all three points on their patch.

They are an attacking side like us and goals were on the menu, it’s got nothing to do with our defending or our keeper, this was just a out and out full on attacking game and a great spectacle for the fans.
We were on the losing end of this game, but we won’t be when we play them next season.

{Ed025's Note - you were easily as good as them OP and very unfortunate not to get at least a point, things are going very well at the moment mate..

5.) 08 Jan 2026 19:33:17
The result wasn't what we hoped for but the performance was good and if we maintain that level until the end of the season we'll be a Premiership club next season. We're stretching every team we play and nobody feels comfortable playing against us. Was there this level of optimism months ago? I don't think so.

6.) 09 Jan 2026 00:00:33
Nice positive words Ed, but we need to get back to winning against Fulham.

{Ed025's Note - Fulham are doing very well Feath and its yet another difficult game, i have that down for a draw but either side are good enough to win it..

18 Dec 2025 16:02:57
It’s sad and actually ridiculous that there’s still discussion about whether DF deserves to continue. Many of the same voices were negative on him in The Champioship and some would have expressed preferences for the Ipswich or then Southampton coaches. So here we are in the EPL and both the above teams aren’t. McKenna is still coaching Ipswich and seems like a promising young coach. However, under DF, we’ve already won as many games as Ipswich managed in their entire season despite their bigger spending and better players. Already this season 3 clubs have already changed their coaches. It doesn’t seem to be working at all at Wolves, West Ham have improved but are still dropping points and only Forest have gotten a real bounce. And that’s despite all 3 teams having better players than us and much more EPL experience.

So changing the coach is no guarantee of success and could, in fact, impede our chances of survival. Seems to me that Wolves and Burnley are likely to be relegated so the fight is on to avoid joining them. Realistically there are 4 or 5 teams still at risk including Leeds of course. The job is just not to be the worst of this bunch. I wish we could all just get real, acknowledge what’s been accomplished so far under the current management, get in a forward or 2 in January to cover the inevitable injuries or suspensions and with 22 games left in our season just get behind our team to give them the max chance. Here’s hoping we all have reason to be happy over Christmas.

1.) 18 Dec 2025 18:03:35
I don’t consider your post sad or ridiculous, however, I respectfully ask that just because other posters don’t mirror your own opinions, views, they are simply considered as different, individual, to each particular poster.

Brighton, Forest and Burnley were not figments of our imagination.

Difference of opinions is the lifeblood of any banter site, however, denigrating alternative views, will only lead to a malaise of blandness and a site without healthy debate and a healthy amount of differing perspectives, will surely cease to be of any interest, consequence.

Would be my own sad and slightly ridiculous opinion.

2.) 18 Dec 2025 19:00:57
With respect Class I believe sixpence is only expressing his own opinion, is he not. I think if he finds it sad or ridiculous that other fans appear to criticize Farke a lot, which they do, then he is entitled to say that.
In my opinion although we didn’t play above and beyond ourselves against Forest and Brighton it doesn’t mean either that the players were disinterested or not motivated as some have remarked on this forum, but on the same hand that might be yours and some others opinion which you are also entitled to.

I think if we are not allowed to criticize others opinions on here then that is surely not a healthy banter site. I believe sixpence is not being rude or denigrating to where others would feel overly offended.

3.) 18 Dec 2025 19:46:56
That’s fine then OP, but having read previously from sixpence how people criticising Farke should now jog on, in my opinion, that’s not a position based on any specifics, but a blanket rejection of a contrary view.

As previously posted, having been at the Brighton game I can speak from personal experience when I say our travelling supporters let both the team and Farke know in no uncertain terms what they thought of that inept display, many left early.

And I’ll praise Farke where I believe it’s merited and likewise reserve my right to criticise him when I (personally) consider it’s warranted.

So long as its never personal or cancelling it’s all good, live and let live.

I don’t expect miracles, or us circumnavigating the PSR restrictions which hurt us undoubtedly, but recent displays have set the bar from which we cannot fall below from here on in.

4.) 18 Dec 2025 22:05:49
All I would say to that is, not much pressure on Farke then with a team that’s expected to be relegated before the season started, looks like the expectations are very high and perhaps rightly so.
I just think to myself, why not sack him now while there’s time, he will definitely lose more games than win and if that’s not acceptable to some then try someone else.
Just because he’s achieved a couple of half decent results doesn’t mean that's going to continue for the rest of the season because I can pretty much guarantee you, it won’t.

Sack him now, it’s surely inevitable and what most fans want anyway, it was only because we beat Liverpool that Jesse Marsch had a stay of execution, why wait until we lose again and again.?
We have the right to flip flop our opinions on Farke as fans, sack him, don’t sack him, but he’s not allowed to have a bad game from time to time, I’m not sure if I’m honest that might be slightly unreasonable in my opinion. ?

5.) 18 Dec 2025 23:52:22
Other fans only criticise Farke because either his performance deserves it or the usual suspects on here treat him like a king for having a good week and forget about the previous 3 months.

6.) 19 Dec 2025 06:25:10
He’s only a human being, why expect the man to perform miracles.

7.) 19 Dec 2025 07:14:58
You usual suspects who rightly so can criticize Farke when there’s a not so good performance and also praise him when his team have a good performance.
The part that I disagree with is the chanting for him to have the sack when there’s a bad run of results.

For now it’s let’s not sack him but as soon as we have another bad run of results again and we will, all the sack Farke banners come out again.
Thats not criticism or praise, it’s called being fickle, in my opinion.

8.) 19 Dec 2025 08:02:38
Far too much time being dedicated to the art, mode and etiquette of debate, rather than the debates and discussions themselves in my view.
Probs a side effect of a society where we have to justify how we say something more than the core of WHAT we are saying. All effin' liberalist bollox, I reckon!
Up the whites.
That is all. Carry on.

9.) 19 Dec 2025 08:56:29
You’re right Bright and it is an effect or problem of society today. Liberalist comments telling people what they can or can not say about anything infuriates me.
Damn straight I’d be rather talking about events of our football club but then you are constantly reminded of how offended people are by just a benign opinion.
I despair.

10.) 19 Dec 2025 09:32:43
I think the majority of managers in the bottom half will come under such scrutiny and it's quite natural. We are far from safe and until we hit 40pts we need to constantly evaluate if we have the right personnel to take the club forward. If the 9ers weren't succession planning it would be negligent.

11.) 19 Dec 2025 09:33:15
100% Bright.

12.) 19 Dec 2025 10:05:49
And you are the very worst of it opti.
Constantly posting about posters opinion rather that a subject of interest.

13.) 19 Dec 2025 10:24:30
Great posts Class, totally agree dude.

14.) 19 Dec 2025 14:36:55
Thats pure rubbish Aus and you know it, I try to start conversations often on here about subjects of our club, there was one recently where I think Alf was the only poster who responded.
It’s more a case of my opinions not suiting the likes of yourself and many others.

I feel like I’m just an irritation for some of you blokes, but I’m on here to voice my opinion, not to agree like a sheep to what appears to be the popular opinion.
I’ve got a mind of my own and I say what I think about our football club.

{Ed025's Note - and well you should mate..

15.) 19 Dec 2025 16:43:32
?????? OP!

16.) 19 Dec 2025 23:12:59
Keep posting OP. Bit of debate is a good thing.

17.) 20 Dec 2025 08:37:44
I don’t know how real or fake the like toggles on this forum are, if they are it would appear that I’m a very unpopular poster on here Alf.
I don’t enjoy the fact that my posts are a constant irritation to some or perhaps most on here and I’m sure they would prefer I don’t post anymore.

It’s only my opinions and perhaps if I post less or take some time out, (I’m not going away though) then others will feel more comfortable agreeing to each other’s posts without me on here.

There are some absolutely sensational games coming up over Christmas including Sunderland Man Utd and Liverpool and for me as a Leeds United fan these will be the best Christmas presents I could ever imagine and I will be watching and enjoying every minute of them.
Have a wonderful Christmas all
and to the Ed’s who join in with some banter from time to time, nice one fellas ???
⚽️⚽️ Get In.

18.) 20 Dec 2025 12:05:01
Nope OP. we clearly have self likers and multiple clickers for some reason! It's like Starmer voting for himself, in the sense that no f***er else in their right mind would do so!

19.) 20 Dec 2025 14:41:04
Blimey OP, don't overthink things too much mate. I doubt there are posters who would rather you didn't post, it's really not that personal I would hope. We all share the same aim and its a very emotive thing, but I also don't think there is a clique of posters who just like agreeing with each other.

For me, I agree with the posts i like regardless and i am sure not everyone agrees with what i post, but that's the point isn't it? I think the only thing that gets a reaction is a post that is worded as if dismissive, or condescending towards, others opinions. All are valid agree or not.

16 Dec 2025 15:51:30
Looking at Palace’s fixtures we may have a real chance to get another home win on Saturday. Not sure what team they’ll field on Thursday night but less than 48 hours later they have to try again at a hostile ER with at least one eye on their Carabao Cup game v Arsenal just 3 days later.

It’s a crazy run of games but let’s hope we can benefit from it.

1.) 16 Dec 2025 16:48:06
Glasner has already admitted that he has no choice but to make many changes for those games, quite possible they’ll be coming to Elland rd with a weakened squad.
If that's the case, we’ll take it.

2.) 16 Dec 2025 17:21:31
100%! And every goal we can get too, if possible!
NOT that anything is a foregone conclusion!

3.) 16 Dec 2025 18:42:02
Death, taxes and Leeds United being shafted by every football association, administration is up there in forgone conclusions Brighty ?.

4.) 16 Dec 2025 18:56:14
We going to get spanked by palace.

5.) 16 Dec 2025 19:08:33
If our fans at Elland rd are thinking that already MOT then we most definitely will lose.
Thankfully that will not be the case on the day.
A win is possible.

6.) 16 Dec 2025 21:00:04
A win is entirely possible. We have shown great form and tenacity in chasing a win and I hope that we absolutely smash them.
I'm just feeling pessimistic about this one and obviously would love to be proven wrong!

7.) 17 Dec 2025 06:32:56
Whatever team Glasner puts out against us this weekend it will still have better quality players than our team, it’s just that any team in the Premiership that comes to Elland rd will have a tough time in trying to beat us.

We don’t posses real quality but what we lack in that department we make up with pure determination and a never say die spirit and it’s the fans that give the players that drive and belief.

8.) 17 Dec 2025 11:16:37
Palace will be without Sarr who has been one if their best players this season, but has gone off to AFCON.

06 Dec 2025 20:48:51
What a magnificent performance. Put ourselves under pressure with basic mistakes but came back twice to get us level. Can the “ Farke out” mob now just shuffle off. We’ve had 4 winning managers in my 60 years as a Leeds fan.

Let’s not jettison one of them because our armchair generals know better. We have a real chance of staying up if we just keep the faith. MOT.

1.) 06 Dec 2025 21:38:11
Totally agree sixpence and those armchair generals as you call them would have you know that it it wasn’t for them, Farke would already be sacked. It’s comforting to know that.

Loved the never say die attitude we had tonight.
Onwards and Upwards.

2.) 07 Dec 2025 03:35:20
Why criticise or even bring Farke out. You lot are so childish.

3.) 07 Dec 2025 09:07:42
Aus don’t be such a baby, grow up, this is a football banter site.

4.) 07 Dec 2025 09:27:21
Et tu.

5.) 07 Dec 2025 09:30:42
Yeah. And you go on and on and on like a baby with your stupid Farke out jibes. Just like Baz. Boring and repetitive. Let’s focus on the game and players and result rather than your constant brainless comments.

6.) 07 Dec 2025 09:33:25
Because its thrown at everyone's face, the moment the slightest thing hinting at a 'negative' pops up? Only fair that it gets chucked back, I guess? Or is that just being nasty, and mean?

7.) 07 Dec 2025 10:44:03
I’m sorry Aus but focusing on the games is something your good self and others have been very much the contrary to.
Since the season started and over the summer it’s been a pretty constant onslaught of bashing our coach Daniel Farke, relentless in fact and it’s been posters like me Bright, Ani and others have to read this everyday.
All good that that is your opinion, but don’t be surprised when calling us childish, there is a strong reaction to it.

Especially when it looks like we are now turning a corner in moving forward with a little gap from the relegation zone.
I can promise you also that Farke has not been tuning into this forum to get his formation tactics like you appear to imagine.
Now things are looking slightly rosier it’s like let’s find any excuse for bashing Farke for the last season and a half.

If there’s anything boring and repetitive, then that endless moronic mantra is.
Enjoy the rest of your of the weekend Aus mate. ?.

8.) 07 Dec 2025 11:01:27
We or I even banged on about how useless he was is because we were losing a lot and against dross like Burnley. Good for you if you enjoy that sort of thing. I don’t and will say my piece.
Note I have not said Farke out recently. I wonder why. Maybe cause the performances and results have improved. How stupid am I.

9.) 07 Dec 2025 12:54:45
Sadly yes Aus, there’s been little to no consideration what Farke has had to deal with.
From the loan clause debarcle, off loading player assets like Archie and Rutter, then to be hands tied in the transfer market this summer and not complaining once about the quality forwards he so desperately needed to compete in the Premiership

No, the cancel culture is alive and well with some Leeds United fan base.
I also fully expect that cancel culture to be back in full force by the time we lose our next game.

29 Nov 2025 17:08:25
What a great second half performance from our team. Didn’t expect points from the game but what we got was lots of fight and heart and perhaps some clues to our best formation. Farke has this squad playing and if we keep the faith it may come right, particularly if we get 1 or 2 good new players in January.

Could I ask that we tone down the criticism of our manager and players, particularly the personal comments. We all want the same thing, Survival in this league. Fans support can help with that. Repetitive negativity won’t.

{Ed025's Note - well said mate..

1.) 29 Nov 2025 17:15:05
Great post, on the back of some good game management, and a great 45mins in H2 from a team who clearly still have faith in the gaffer!

2.) 29 Nov 2025 17:17:50
Good post Six, that second half was as good as we have done this season, can't fault the lads and fair play to DF for changing it up, going 3 at the back with wing backs, we looked so much better! Many positives despite the result, play like that at ER in the next 2 and we have every chance of picking up points.

3.) 29 Nov 2025 17:42:31
Apparently Daniel had lost the dressing room?
Looks like Farke fights another day as Leeds coach, good for him and his players.
Never say die.

4.) 29 Nov 2025 18:39:40
Top post sixpence.

5.) 30 Nov 2025 01:57:37
I'm sorry but Farke didn't make those changes, he was forced to just like the meslier situation.

If he DID make those changes then why the funk didn't he do this week's ago? Why the capitulation in the other games?

Why have DCL alone up front for many games when we saw what was coming?

This doesn't vindicate Farke's 'tactical genius' it shows him for the stubborn old mule that he is; refusing to change until he is forced.
He returned to type as soon as we went 2-2 and tried sitting back against man city.

We could have been pumped today and the second half was the best Leeds have played this season and that's how we should play every game and how we should have played.

The board get stick for a crap window but today proved we have the quality to finish mid table, unless we've shipped too many points already.

Farke needs to go as soon as possible and I hope we're not seeing a Marsch moment where he has been given a stay of execution.
(Farke has a worse record than Marsch)

I know this won't make me popular by being honest but the happy clapping needs to stop while we still have a season that can be salvaged.

6.) 30 Nov 2025 10:00:00
Good post Six. That second half performance definitely was worth a point. Let's carry it on now and get something from these two home games. I have got my ticket for Brentford, hopefully we can go there with some more points under our belt and look to pick up a point or three on the road. We don't want to be cut adrift.

7.) 30 Nov 2025 14:07:29
You sound like good old Baz MOT. Imaginary players who we can bring on, who can play in any formation, just need the stubborn old manager to use them!

Who's going to salvage the season then MOT? Who's going to make a purse out of a sow old ear? We have the players, we have for the next 9-10 games, so what's a new manager going to do with them?

8.) 30 Nov 2025 19:21:47
Not isolate DCL.
Back him up with a finisher like Nmecha.
Perri long throw or hoofing the ball up the pitch.
Wing backs who are allowed to push forward.
A midfield that has at least Tanaka in it.
Back three.
No arronson on the wing but so bring him in to hassle tired attackers/ midfielders.
Attacking football not tippy tappy from the back.

Pretty much what we saw against City.

We're not here to take on the top four, we're trying to survive. We have enough quality to do that, with comfort, when we play to our strengths. The strengths that we focused on in the window when we bought these players.

If you can't see that ani, that's on you.
And how can I be baz when he was on here same time as me?

9.) 30 Nov 2025 23:08:50
Never said you were Baz…. said you were like Baz.

Not sure what I’m supposed to be seeing? After 2 years of Farke, you know his methods and tactics, you know the players he has at his disposal (enough for you to claim “mid table”) , and yet you’ve be chuntering all season about imaginary player ability / lack of ability alternative tactics etc.

The team we started with was what you (and many others) have be clamouring for, no Aaronson, Gnonto starting, James starting etc and it was a disaster; probably the worst half of football all season.

Baz was famous for his after the event prophecy; like I said, you’re very like Baz…that’s what I see and that’s definitely on me!

10.) 01 Dec 2025 00:44:41
Ani, I've been more than vocal about Farke's failings since at least January.

11.) 01 Dec 2025 07:16:05
We know MOT!
