Years since I posted on this site but still read every day. My view is that we have performed well (or well enough) every home game - Everton, Newcastle, Bournemouth, spurs, wet span - 1.6 points per game - I’m happy with the performances and results. But away we have been dire (Fulham and wolves were ok but the rest, urgh) . 0.5 points per game. Problem is 3 of last 4 have been away and by the time we play Villa it will have been a month since a home game so no wonder we all feel s***e.
So the litmus test for me is Villa - if we come out roaring and fighting then I am still prepared to believe and to back DF. I we put in a limp and insipid performance then I will reluctantly just the Farke out camp as we can’t have our away malaise affecting home form.
And if we do put in a performance against Villa the follow on point is why we are so poor away. Surely it is just 11 blokes, a ball and a patch of grass so we do we set up with such a different mindset - go out isnd play n the same way away from home.
That’s it from me. Roll on Sunday so we can’t put the last month of away matches behind us.

Nothing wrong with that post Matt.
Spam we were dire second half and since. Need to win as many home games as possible.
Happy to give him the villa game to prove us doubters wrong. Break a leg Farke.

My views are, and I stand by this, if Farke leads us out at villa, we are relegated.
He should have gone a long time ago and if he starts arronson over James or Gnonto then I would sack him regardless of result.

Welcome back Matt, I agree with all of your post. I do feel also at this home game against Villa, a big effort and performance is required. I believe most fans can deal with a loss, it’s just the performance and the players being braver than they have shown to be at most of our away games especially.
The Brighton and Forest games were difficult to stomach in the sense of having more of a ago at our opponents instead of being to frightened to make a mistake.
It does feel a very long time since we last played at Elland rd, hopefully Farke and his players can put up a display worthy of a Leeds United team in the Premiership.

Nice to hear from you again Matt. Glad you are doing well.

It's a thumbs up from me for that Matt. Villa will be tough, but I think we can get sonething from that game ahead of 3 where we'll likely get diddly s##t. Watched DJ playing for Wales tonight, and whilst it was only against Lichtenstein, he did look more like the DJ of old.
Let's hope he plays instead of Baracus and gives the Villa full back s hard time. ?.

Welcome back from me, too, Matt! Great return post 'n' all, which makes you a keeper imo! ?.
7.) 16 Nov 2025 06:46:17
It would be a welcome sight to see DJ start, JR!
He does offer on top of his attacking ability all of the positive aspects of BA's play; high energy, great press, up and down the pitch, defensive support, so will be a big plus!
8.) 16 Nov 2025 06:54:49
Jr. you think Farke will drop ba?
James knows he ain’t good enough for prem league that’s why he is either injured or rubbish.
The only positive v villa is they don’t score much so a sneaky 0-0 although unlikely is possible.
9.) 17 Nov 2025 01:23:31
James not good enough for PL not sure about that yet, but he is better than BA, and a changd is as good as they say.
10.) 17 Nov 2025 12:38:55
Really jr? Check his stats out. See how that goes. My opinion. He knows his limitation. And it ain’t prem league.

Criminal or suspended?

3-3 great result for us. In terms of winning the title - keeping pace with city and ahead of pool. ?.
1.) 21 Aug 2022 18:40:10
KP played a blinder ?.
2.) 21 Aug 2022 19:16:05
KP? He still a player? I thought he'd retired.
3.) 21 Aug 2022 19:53:51
Just keeping that bench warm.
4.) 21 Aug 2022 21:06:37
Just like Raphinha ?.
5.) 21 Aug 2022 21:41:19
Ouch mind the splinters.
21 Aug 2022 17:28:17
Think Jesse is learning fast too - much earlier subs exactly when needed to keep the energy levels high. Depth is stronger this year! ??.
1.) 21 Aug 2022 17:50:00
Definitely, on both counts.
2.) 21 Aug 2022 20:28:01
Yes. Forshaw was almost timed to perfection. They was on top for a good 10-15 mins in the 2nd half and bringing forshaw on helped steady it.
07 Aug 2022 21:14:57
Can I just say how awesome Klich was when he came on. Still not a starter for me but looked a man reborn full of energy and a broken field really plays to his talents of finding pockets of space and slipping through killer balls. Chapeau Klich.

I still cannot rationalise Gnonto for £4m. It makes no sense. He looks wonderful but really? Why would Zurich let him go for £3.8m. Youngest ever goal scorer for Italy, super fast, quality touch, very strong but has the ayling flop off to a tea.
25 Sep 2022 12:41:54
Thanks for info on Sini. Still think bench and bring on if needed. Time to give Cree a proper run out.
24 Sep 2022 17:31:20
Sinistera probably can’t play v Villa as back so late from intl duty ☹️.
14 Sep 2022 07:26:45
Jesus give it a rest mate.

Didn’t see the game so maybe I don’t have a right to comment, but I think getting Cooper back in for Llorente will bring leadership organisation and somebody who won’t get bullied and that might make a big difference without needing to disrupt the system so much.
