I have on going debate with some on here who suggest every game Leeds play its a cup final for every other team - that is tripe.

Leeds lost on Saturday because they didn't play well enough - even their own players suggested as much.

Fans cannot expect the team to play at the same level every game. This is a competitive league and all teams will lose games through the year. Last season was exceptional and Leeds were unlucky to come up against Leicester and Ipswich in the same season.

Farke is not an expansive coach but he does win far more games than he loses and fans can either accept that or not. Much is said of Piroe's inclusion yet Joseph has hardly covered himself in glory when included. At least Piroe does score some goals.

Scoring goals was highlighted at the start of the season as an issue - this team needs 10-15 scoring opportunities to convert a goal. This will continue until Farke changes the way the team develops its attacking strategy.

Much is made of 3 games in 6 days - given the strength and depth of the squad Farke has available Leeds should be better placed than any side in the Championship to cope with this.

Will they get automatic promotion - not unless they find a way to convert the chances on a more regular basis and find a way of changing the approach when away from home.

According to G Smyth, Leeds have looked at 2 attackers and one defender ahead of the window opening, sources indicate to him that movement will likely be minimal overall, so i suspect possibly one out (likely Geldhart) one in..

Do you think Farke is his own worse enemy? What I mean is decent players like the young lad from Villa, Brearton Diaz, the lad from Forest, Ben Godfrey it seems all choosing other clubs over ours. Is that because they know they`re likely to be warming the bench unless someone suffers an injury? We have the experienced French lad an international who gets maybe 10 minutes a game, Schmidt who is rarely used with Farke preferring to play his favourites even if they are out of position. The French lad could/should have played in the back 4 with Ampadu in the midfield but he tries to shoehorn his favourites all the time. Whereas Parker and Wilder tend to play their loan players we don`t.

your assuming we were actually in for them? perhaps they wernt not choosing us as we wernt in for them? I've no idea either way but I think they know who they want
