Completely agree. I would have considered making a change after play off final too. Farke obviously has shortcomings but now is a terrible time to call for a change.
And also plenty of evidence that we are on track for at least top 2. Been the better team in 5 out of 6 games and breaking records for defensive solidarity. Least amount of shots conceded at this level after 6 games since opta began. Not bad for a shaky defence.
Also the clamor for Piroe to start makes me laugh. I can only assume people’s memory is only 1 game long. Take a step back and look at the whole picture.
I also wonder if Farke is actually a good option if we do go up despite his shortcomings. Having a manager that can set us up like he did last season could be a safer option. Keep things type, have good defensive shape, and rely on a couple of stars up top to win the points required to secure survival. I really wish it was better than this and would love it to be more fun but isn’t that dreamer attitude exactly what Orta was lambasted for? Didn’t we all crave more pragmatism then?
But anyway, drop Struijk, Joesph, Bogle, Gruev, Aaronson, Firpo and sack the manager before Coventry or we are doomed!!!!
Also let’s pay Bamford his contract up in full and get rid so that he can never miss another chance for us again. Don’t understand why the club haven’t done this already?
Yes, happy for the victory. Solid defence.
But watching Leeds, makes me scream from the couch; SHOOT!! STOP PLAYING THE BALL SIDEWAYS!!
The thing is that Farke's style of football is so boring, that I lose interest, and start doing other things, while the tube is on in the background.
It's about to give me an ulcer.
I keep asking this question, without football people at the helm who is going to make the decision to dispense with Farke's services. To the Will Ferrell's of this world more used American Football, he's doing a good job isn't he? Three wins out of the last four, only team in the division to take any points off West Brom. Sixth in the division and better placed than this time last season.
And equally without an Orta type character at the club who do we have to identify someone to fill his shoes should he be dismissed, any replacement must be planned, not knee-jerk, we cannot end up with a Marsch, Gracia, Allerdyce situation. Can we trust Kinnear?
I don't see any change at the helm, the football might not be Bielsaesque but we are never getting that back. I'm happy as long as we are winning.

Are you not also shouting
"MAKE A SUBSTITUTION, I DON'T CARE WHO, JUST ONE, PLEASE!"
I am, I think I will start in the first minute in the hope Farke might eventually hear me.
Where has this myth come from that, its boring dreadful coming from 🤷🏻♂️
In all the time he’s been here, I can think of just twice, where we have shut up shop. Rest of time, we are on the front foot, trying to win games, going forward.
Yes, there are times when we pass around the back too much, but there isnt just Leeds on the pitch, the other team is trying to stop us, trying to lay traps.
I cant remeber too many times, when Ive left Elland road, thinking it was dreadful or boring. Apart from not getting promoted (I’d have replaced the manager then) Its been an enjoyable time.
There been some reall bull lately, a real lack of knowledge.
Defence is wobbly - Yet 4 clean sheets out of 6, without looking like conceding.
The clamour for Joseph for six months, now same idiots want him out.
He’s doing well, its a learning curve
Spot on, i'm happy with the way things are going, one goal conceded in five and that was a mistake is the thing that wins leagues, been the best side for me in all our games and still gelling, i thought after ten minutes v Burnley this looks like a side still getting to know each other, yes we could be more prolific but hopefully that will come, Joseph is work in progress but will get there if he keeps his feet on the ground, i think we all moan about the passing around at the back and my only complaint is most of its between the keeper and Rodon and neither can play why oh why when Rodon is facing the RB with an easy pass he checks back inside?
I do chuckle when i see people talking about other teams in the division like they are Man City its not a great league and i wouldn't swop any teams players for ours, we will lose games its the nature of the championship but 92pts should be achievable, win on Saturday and we are back on track and someone soon will get a pumping.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's why the club employ Gretar Steinsson & Nick Hammond.
Given how many times you've asked yourself the question, I'm amazed you didn't find the answer
I find the notion of sacking/replacing DF at this stage bizarre.
Careful what you wish for. Personally i'm glad we're not a basket case club, sacking every 2 mins. Remember those days?
We're in a good place, with a good team. Patience.
I'm not the most intelligent person around, but if I had the money and brains to run a football club, this'd be the last place I'd look for anyone I'm trusting to lead my club!..
Looking at the trainers we had before Farke, I think that some around here would welcome some of them back!..
I said last season when we were 17 or so points behind we should let Farke get on with his job, a shame he had through no fault of his own such a bad start, because if we'd been in the driving seat at the start it would have put more pressure on the 3 that went up!..
Undoubtedly, one of Farke's weaknesses is his inability to bring on subs who make a difference (and yes, I know Piroe came off the bench and scored on Saturday!). It's as though he isn't overly perceptive about the dynamics on the pitch in real time. Pep Guardiola can often be seen discussing tactical changes with his sidekick Juanma Lillo (the Kevin Keegan lookalike) – does Farke have an equivalent he takes opinions from? If not, I think he needs one.
Piroe is just a player who suits a certain kind of opponent. Sometimes you get strikers who thrive in a bottom half team but look completely out of place in a side at the top. Not necessarily because of a quality ceiling, but can be the amount of time you spend playing against different tactics. Piroe struggles against low blocks, but when teams push up, like Cardiff did last ten minutes, there's probably no better striker in the league. Farke timed that sub perfectly imo.
Last year was too one dimensional, basically get the ball to Cry, Rutter or Gnonto to score.
Feel we have scope to really go up a few gears as the squad, on the face of it, is more balanced and once the 'newbies' find their feet suspect we might really fly.
We are hard to beat and the Burnley result was one of those days - every team has them.
I do get a bit frustrated with the Farke subs sometimes but there are very few if any better managers at this level, certainly with knowledge to get out of this league.
"Pep Guardiola can often be seen discussing tactical changes with his sidekick Juanma Lillo (the Kevin Keegan lookalike) – does Farke have an equivalent he takes opinions from? If not, I think he needs one."
Bielsa let the players have their say and than said, ok, fair enough, if that's what you think, we'll now do things my way!.

We played our best. Football last season when we were chasing down Leicester and Ipswich . Once we got there, we folded. Farke will do the same to us this season if he does not address his weaknesses.
Like I said, I ain't the most intelligent, but I don't think there are many out there that would come to us that are better, and any that would will cost a hell of a lot more!..
And last season, its been said by many, the points we got any other season would have got us up, we shouldn't be taking credit away from Farke, we should be crediting Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton for doing their bit and try backing Farke to do better this time out!..
He is good enough to get us up!..

That's why the club employ Gretar Steinsson & Nick Hammond.
Given how many times you've asked yourself the question, I'm amazed you didn't find the answer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that I am a bit of a hypocrite here and I vow to be a better person, but why do people feel the need to get nasty on this board after all we have a common agenda.

There was nothing nasty in that response. You asked a question and had it answered.

I keep asking this question, without football people at the helm who is going to make the decision to dispense with Farke's services. To the Will Ferrell's of this world more used American Football, he's doing a good job isn't he? Three wins out of the last four, only team in the division to take any points off West Brom. Sixth in the division and better placed than this time last season.
And equally without an Orta type character at the club who do we have to identify someone to fill his shoes should he be dismissed, any replacement must be planned, not knee-jerk, we cannot end up with a Marsch, Gracia, Allerdyce situation. Can we trust Kinnear?

Sorry didn’t need the second para.
But yeah Will Ferrel won’t be making any football decisions so at least that should be a relief

No but he'll probably want to play.

Bring him on with 10 to go if we need a goal…. Get launching it up to him and feed off the scraps. No brainer.

I'm not the most intelligent person around, but if I had the money and brains to run a football club, this'd be the last place I'd look for anyone I'm trusting to lead my club!..
Looking at the trainers we had before Farke, I think that some around here would welcome some of them back!..
I said last season when we were 17 or so points behind we should let Farke get on with his job, a shame he had through no fault of his own such a bad start, because if we'd been in the driving seat at the start it would have put more pressure on the 3 that went up!..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We played our best. Football last season when we were chasing down Leicester and Ipswich . Once we got there, we folded. Farke will do the same to us this season if he does not address his weaknesses.

Like I said, I ain't the most intelligent, but I don't think there are many out there that would come to us that are better, and any that would will cost a hell of a lot more!..
And last season, its been said by many, the points we got any other season would have got us up, we shouldn't be taking credit away from Farke, we should be crediting Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton for doing their bit and try backing Farke to do better this time out!..
He is good enough to get us up!..
