Fans are a bit knee jerky Jambo. Farke goes from hero zero in 90 minutes. At least we might have a short break (until Saturday at least) where we’re spared the Bielsa Farke comparison threads and eulogies about Farke’s outstanding coaching. I like DF, I think we’re doing about par with the squad we’ve got for this stage of the season (bearing in mind it’s a new bunch of players) I expect us to improve with time but will reserve judgement on Farke until May.
As the Jamster predicted a 3rd place finish this season we're doing exactly as expected. Shame last night didn't go as well as it could have but we weren't anywhere near as bad as some people (not just on here) are making out.
FARKE is good so far but he has a blind spot and thats setting up to counter a pressing team. We have been garbage for a couple of seasons when being pressed. Last nights stupidity of playing the ball back from the half way line. The keeper trying to play out but having to rush silly little passes to his RB or LB or CB, it just kept going back to him. Its a big tactic now for everyone we play they just push us back and press with energy and we rush passes and give the ball away. So that says to me we need the midfield involved more but when you have 4 up front and the wingers are not defending or helping then big trouble.
There were a lot of mysterious out of sorts under Bielsa too when least expected. He wasn’t perfect, nobody is
This team won't have the bottle, strength,or mental attitude to win the playoffs. I think we will just about scrape into them, but win them no.
Or were well on the way to becoming the best team that doesn't get promoted I can never be accused of being negative after that one
My own mickey mouse formula for form has us currently ranked 7th. Look at who we've played. We only beat Ipswich because everything we touched turned to gold.
Well the weather isn't as good as yesterday in tavira quite windy in fact which replicates our penalty taker, hopefully the next time we receive a decision in our favour and even if Bambi is only on the bench he high tails it down the tunnel as far away as possible from the white spot....ruin my holiday? Nah

Could have had an extra 4 points last season and guess where that would have left us also we would have been safer than panic stations at the end. Bamford has done nothing for Leeds since 20/21
Spot on Doc as just about every team we play against has 6 players pressing when Meslier has the ball and the other 4 are pushed up close to the half way line. It theerfore doesn't seem logical for us to keep going back to our keeper but Farke wants control and so the debate is really about what constitutes control in a match ? For me we're much better when playing the game in the oppositions half and with possession keeping them penned in.
