The breakfast debate wed 22nd April

[bucks_is_leeds]

With El sidelined this morning ive knocked you up a few points to muse over

Is this the best spell under Farke this season—or just a short bounce?

Do Leeds stick with the winning XI, or bring James/Rodon straight back in?



Farke’s message: momentum, but job not done
Daniel Farke made it clear Leeds are riding a strong wave after back-to-back wins.
He stressed urgency: more points still needed and momentum can “change quickly.”

Leeds are effectively in a survival push with a handful of games left, and confidence is high internally.

Big injury boosts ahead of Bournemouth
Positive news: Daniel James back in training and close to returning.

Joe Rodon also back available after injury.

Only major absentee: Anton Stach still out.

We seem to get better results with Tanaka playing instead of Stach. Great choice to have to be honest, two top class players.
As for Dan James, move him out. Not pl standard and only ever fit to play for Wales. One of those I really hope is gone in summer and I used to be a big fan of his

I kind of agree with you about Dan James. He must have missed about 90% of the season so don’t know how him getting fit is a major boost or whether there are enough games left to get him match fit, so no, he doesn’t come straight back in for me.

Farke is right, momentum is everything so a strong lineup tonight for me and hopefully get the survival job done tonight. Then we can concentrate on the bonus of a possible cup final.
Morning all by the way.

Morning all,

James doesn't fit the systems that have worked best for us this season and has only been used as an impact sub when losing.

Good player when fit but if we are going to continue with Farke next season and this style of play then it is time to move on.

I like him but his time is probably up at Leeds

 

[ristac]

Morning all

We need to try and repeat our last away performance tonight, part of me feels save a few legs for the FA Cup semi final, then I think what if we do and they freeze in the headlights on Sunday. What if we save legs tonight, lose, we get knocked out the cup on Sunday and then heads start dropping.

Bournemouth are excellent away and at home they have a lot of draws, I would be happy with a point tonight, we feared the loss of Stach and we have proved the depth is not too bad as long as we don't go too deep. Start with the best 11 tonight and again best 11 available on Sunday and see where it takes us.

Worse case scenario we end up with two defeats but the following game at home to Burnley does feel a bit of a get out of jail card if we need to use it

 

[oldschool]

A point would be a great result against a very good Bournemouth imo...then go for the carnaby Street trendies at Wembley full bore they are in disarray at present and their fans are very unhappy ...James won't be back in the side wether fit or not, sub at best and it's adiós for me come season end

 

[Infidel]

Would love to get a point tonight, then I think thats safety.
Go and destroy Chelsea on Sunday and watch Rosenior grovel for an explanation.
Then who would we like to see do the drop, for me WestHam, but we could have a say in Spuds as well, them playing Lincoln next season I would piss my self.

Rosenior called the players out publicly last night and though it could rally them, it usually ends one way, with the sack. That said I can’t see that they won’t be up for a potential cup final and give it their best whatever they think of the coach.

 

[LeedsRover1]

A result tonight would be terrific, and I think a draw would keep us safe, with the Burnley game to follow.

We need to start quick on Sunday and pile even more pressure on their line up. Their body language last night was awful and I’d welcome giving them a walloping “darn in Landon”.

On the West Ham/Spurs thing, don’t really care. One less London fixture every season, can’t be bad.

Millwall to the rescue

 

[LeedsRover1]

Millwall to the rescue

Oops

 

[Gessa]

I think West Ham under Nuno will be a different proposition next season, Spurs will still be in trouble unless they can shift a lot of high earners, who look like they dont give a ****. So would like W Ham to go down for that reason but Spurs down would be better bantz and would probably take longer than W Ham to recover, as they have more deadwood to shift. You look at the Spurs team and think what top half team would want any but a few of them

 

[Mr Wolves-White]

Afternoon all

Keep the same line up. Don't mess with a winning formula.

Agreed with Eire **** James off on the summer. I think he'd suit the SPL better. The problem is that if we do get rid of a lot of the deadwood on the next window then we might upset the team dynamics.

 

[The-Don]

Still going lads? I came back to maintain my WUM of the year with the Leicester lot but now I'm here I feel for them

 

[Wakey]

Millwall to the rescue

Millwall are practically family... You know the ones you never speak to and never invite to anything but keep turning up.

 

[Gessa]

****e, Chelsea sack Rosenior

 

[Wakey]

****e, Chelsea sack Rosenior

Just seen it could be a good thing.

The players weren't playing for him, they may get a lift now depending who comes in.

 

[Leedsoflondon]

Given it to the U21 coach. Has even less experience than Rosenior but the players might start playing now they’ve got him sacked. Basket case of a club.
