Noahfence Posted 30 December 2023 Share Posted 30 December 2023 Would it be fair to say Farke is failing at Leeds currently? I know it’s funny to laugh at them but he should be doing better with that squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachyboy Posted 30 December 2023 Share Posted 30 December 2023 (edited) Leeds have definitely found top gear in a couple matches, whereas I don't think we have, there 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears are way below ours. Hopefully we can find that top gear like Leeds did In the Ipswich home fixture. Edited 30 December 2023 by Beachyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s funny to laugh at them but he should be doing better with that squad There are sometimes fine lines between success and failure. Usually you’d expect promotion form to be 2 points per game. On that basis Leeds should be on 50 points, which would currently be 4th place. That’s where they are albeit with 45 points. It doesn’t help that we’re currently motoring along at 62 points and that two other sides are averaging more than 2 points a game. There is also a danger of going too early. There were so many writing off Southampton and Russell Martin off after only a handful of games, although the worry for Leeds is their form isn’t on the right trajectory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Md9 Posted 30 December 2023 Share Posted 30 December 2023 Leeds are going to be under massive pressure now just for second place and to be in a fight for the with ipswich and Southampton who seem to just keep picking up points is going to be tough for them. Birmingham and Cardiff games they can not afford to drop points . Be interesting to see if any players jump ship in jan now they look like they could miss out on automatic promotion. Ipswich could be out of 2nd place by time we play them if there little blip carries on. Crazy how consistent we have been this season picking up wins even if we haven’t been playing as we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started off by using the ‘the first month was a shambles and DF didn’t know who would be in his squad’. Leeds fans only ever look inwards, it’s as if other clubs don’t face the issues they face. They even have a saying for it ‘Leeds that’. Because anything negative only happens to Leeds Utd. Genuinely one of the most deluded fan bases in the country. I really hope they rot in the football league for another decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noahfence Posted 30 December 2023 Share Posted 30 December 2023 Yeah the pressure on Leeds going into games is now enormous. Ipswich starting to wobble but it’s Southampton who look like capitalising. You could tell a few games ago Leeds looking rattled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachyboy Posted 30 December 2023 Share Posted 30 December 2023 (edited) We have had 15 different people score so far this season and its halfway through the season, I'm sure previously we could probably go half a season and not have 15 people start a game never mind score.

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 30 December 2023 Share Posted 30 December 2023 Looks like Ipswich's luck is running out. That being said a stonewall handball penalty wasn't given for QPR last night so the streak continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking they're falling off even with the unreal luck propping them up, if the luck runs out as well they can kiss top 2 goodbye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobyfox Posted 30 December 2023 Share Posted 30 December 2023 I’m less worried about Ipswich since we played them. There is no doubt they’re a decent team, but they’re an “effort” team and don’t play with the same level of control that say we or Southampton do. I can’t help think they’ll burn themselves out at some point and the results won’t come as consistently. I could be wrong though as I still think that Leeds should be a lot closer to us with the players at their disposal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelmofox Posted 30 December 2023 Share Posted 30 December 2023 Unless they sort out a clear mentality issue, i don't see Leeds getting through the playoffs.

You can't play with the up & at 'em, high intensity style without making changes. Some complain at our 1st half careful approach, but it's working. Keep the ball, probe, try again & again. Teams can't chase all game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCJohn Posted 30 December 2023 Share Posted 30 December 2023 I don’t think Farke is ‘completely failing’ there. Up until last weekend, they had points to games that would normally be top (and Southampton also). It was us and Ipswich setting the 2 best ever starts that meant they were both outside the top 2. So you could argue he was doing a job that would normally be enough to be top 2. That said, should the squad he has have been better than that sort of points total regardless? Maybe. And the last week has shown why they won’t do it. Quite literally one step forward, two back. On balance, probably now underperforming. Good for us that they have fallen away though. At 17 points plus superior goal difference, you really can’t see them catching us in any scenario now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
