Was hoping for a bounce back but would settle for a draw away from home.
An enforced change with Solomon injured and a very thin looking bench, but job made a lot easier with the red card and thank the lord we made it one nil that half because we made such heavy weather her of it second half.
We just dont take our chances and that missed pen and Largie chance, you're thinking they'll get one chance and we'll be looking at an awful 1 all.
Gruev had a couple of shots but otherwise most of his passing is backwards.
Bogle starting to be a bit more of a threat going forwards, but he's developing his own version of the Ayling flop where he ends up on the ground for no reason.
I really dont understand why Struijk is penalty taker, I felt nervous when he took one earlier this season and that hasn't changed, has anyone heard an explanation as to why he takes them?
Rothwell really looks to offer very little, I know he's only getting mutes here and there bu Tanaka looks far more effective in that time given and good to see Schmidt get some minutes.
But what an impact sub Piroe was, he's not a 10, should be used as a striker and one owners what the thinking is behind starting Joseph ahead of Piroe, what are the factors that Farke sees in that key selection.
At one nil late in game I thought we just dont look like a top team who will get promotion, 2 nil makes it look a bit better, but this was against a 10 man bottom of table side and this the game you're looking for 4/5 goals from.
The more I listen to Kinnear's TSB interview

We completely bossed the game, never looked uncomfortable, had so many good chances.
Honestly I think the negativity is well over the top. I get why people don’t like Farke or his football - I don’t like his style. But the start we’ve had, it’s baffling to see so much negativity.
4 clean sheets in 6, where we barely looked like conceding. 3 comfortable wins. 1 loss against promotion rivals which was against run of play and we missed 2 great chances.

Have to agree! We can’t expect to play likr Barca every game.

A few positives from the game to cancel out the negatives.
Thought Firpo was excellent. Defending great too
Struijk passes out from the back are quality
Piroe looks dangerous. He needs to start.
Largie had a good debut.

Nonsense Firpo cannot defend.

This wasn't meant as a thread calling for Farke to go.
Just think we're not quite there yet in terms of a fully functioning team.
The more I listen to Kinnear's TSB interview the more I worry about him and the owners.
On one hand talks about how frustrated our super rich 49er owners are at PSR but also says how they're pumping 10s of million into the club......how exactly?
How there are no number 10s available, how Piroe should play as a 10 despite Farke saying he's not a 10.
How Aarsonson could play in any of Europe's top 5 leagues, yet he got relegated from one and nearly relegated from another.
How football is a great, sustainable industry and should not be regulated!

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but Piroe looking a lot leaner this season.. Wouldn't be surprised to hear that he has dropped at least a stone.
Previously he's looked cumbersome and laboured on occasions, so maybe things are changing in the background. Little tweaks here and there.
Ramazani the new Sinisterra? (Fitter version )
Bamford not making it of the bench
Plenty of potential goal scorers Rami Piroe Willy Joseph Solomon.
Maybe the floodgates will open one day soon

We scraped it against a sh 1 the team down to 10.

He made some very good tackles yesterday. He’s certainly improved a hell of a lot this season.

I love it when a player really turns things around.
When he first arrived, Junior was first on the cast list for a keystone cops movie, now he's probably first on the team sheet.

I'm taking the rise Stoopo, there's lots of Leeds fans who for some reason live in 2021 and still haven't noticed that we are no longer in the premier league, they think Firpo hasn't developed as a player, they haven't noticed that his injury record isn't what it was. They will tell you he is always out injured despite the fact he hasn't missed a game for nearly a season and they will tell you he cannot defend, when his defending stats aren't bad at all. There's a reason he gets the nod ahead of Byram for example.
