100%correct and we've been sussed.
Defend deep, swamp the midfield, kick Summerville and we have no answer.
Feel exactly the same. Starting to get a bit frustrated with it
Platers a bit off form and the manager even more so in his judgement and strategy in last two games.
I'm trying not to be knee jerk here but Farke is starting to show real signs of not knowing what he's doing and unable to change things in our favour and although it's still early days today's performance and midweek have filled a lot of us with serious doubts about our top 2 chances. I really like DF and if he would only try what a lot of us think would make us a better team ie play an extra midfielder and drop Piroe or Rutter I think we'd really have a chance of top 2 otherwise we're stumbling over the line into the play offs and likely defeat to Southampton who look like they are the strongest contender outside the auto's.
As I said, if playoffs we are jinxed, I know for a fact we will lose, mark my words. We had a chance to catch Ipswich and ....f it up
WHY IS GNONTO ALWAYS SUB... ?? and even that he's put on always too late n' the game - don't get Farky...
And hope tom lockyer fully recovers 👊

Indeed! Do they replay the whole game, restart at 65 minutes, or result stands?

the game was suspended, it was officially abandoned and will be replayed at a later date.
The reason we start with the same 11 game in game out is because the so called strength in depth is a myth, other than Gnonto, who do we change up to?
Proper January called for.
Same issues exist
- poor set pieces
- limited attacking flair from fullbacks
- zero goals or creation from central mf
Over reliant on front 4 producing magic
If Allan Clarke had been playing we'd have won 8-1so what's the answer apart from asking Sniffer to play, the keeper also had a great game,

Play Piroe up top.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At least try it or bring back bamford.
Any no10 at Leeds would struggle when you have 2 central midfielders who can only pass sidewards and backwards.

Agree
Its really just Gnonto. Need a midfielder as Gruev clearly isn't up to it as he'd be getting mins by now. Need a striker to come on who not only thinks he's gonna score, but who actually we think is gonna score.
We're not as good as we think we are. We are a good side in a poor league, but so are Saints, Ipswich and Leicester.
Plenty of points available (optimistic) and I'm still enjoying it

I agree - we haven’t got strength in depth but when you’re not looking like scoring, any change is surely good.

Why not?
I've lost count how many times we hear commentary like 'It's his first goal for the club' (Thomas) or 'He hadn't scored for 4 years' etc etc - So Leeds it's unreal.
The defending from Struijk and Archie for their goal would have been laughable if not being so consequential.
Rutter needs to learn when to keep it simple - Being Cruyffesque is one thing, making the correct decision at the end of it is another.
Worried that midfield are looking a bit jaded

Sorry pal, came across abit rude that, without giving an explanation of why I think it shouldnt happen 👍
My excuse is, I was out for a few drinks 🤦
I just think the role of a striker has changed over last 20 years, and the attributes to play up top, he’s not good enough at enough of them. People might disgree.
1. Can he finish ? YES
2. Is he quick ? NO
3. Can he work the channels ? No
4. Is strong ? No
5. Can he hold the ball up ? No
6. Is he good in the air ? Can score with his head, but wont win anything in the air
7. has he good movement ? Yes
I get the urge to try him, I do, just dont think he’d be success 👍
Well, 1 point in the last 6 is certainly not gonna get us into the autos. We were all hoping that Leicester and/or Ipswich hit a patch of bad form - and it’s turned out that we’re the ones to croak. I’m actually not too surprised/upset as I was one of the people on here that said (after our poor start to the season) that we were then looking at play-offs. Obvs, I had no idea (then) how the top 2 would run away with it, but that prediction is turning out to be about right. I still think we’ll win the play-offs btw.
Think we need a new striker. Farke's Norwich were built around the goals of Pukki but we haven't got anyone like that. Farke says he knows a thing of two about a striker. I like Rutter a lot but hes not a natural 9 and hes not going to get you 20+ goals. I see him as more of a 10 or even a winger?
