I do wonder if weirdly, staying in the championship another year will do Leeds wonders in the longer term.

We've been able sort our books out, so we get almost a fresh crack at the prem next season.

Last year we would have been hamstrung by previous deals

#lufc

Firpo is lower prem quality (although similar defensive issues as Bogle).

Bamford is prem quality (when fully fit).

Joseph also massively struggled this season. Needs a loan for a full season to prove he has the consistency for top levels of football.

Is there evidence he is even Championship level yet?

How you have Ramazani as maybe when we have a RB coming on infront of him

This is a funny list. Bogle will be eaten alive defensively (as he has done in previously). Elite Championship player, but quality of the Prem is a step above.

Struijk clearly has communication issues that means he will never make the grade at the top level.

Gnonto struggled for mins this year

Hard to believe this, but the linesman who wrongly flagged Tanaka as offside is the same man who flagged against Leeds at Coventry and against Piroe vs Millwall. #lufc

That's not how betting work's though. Leeds odds are always inflated because we have such a large fan base so betting companies hedge to minimise losses if Leeds do go up.

Same reason England are always the "favourites" with bookies at tournaments.

I'm not saying he has done a bad job. I just don't see many championship managers who would have done any worse with the same squad

Rutter cost £45m, Gray is a generational talent and Summerville was one the highlights of our relegation season. Hard to give Farke credit for developing them in just a single season

Rothwell is 30, DJ is 27 with 55 Wales Caps, Tanaka 26 with 29 Japan Caps. They are not young inexperienced players

I vehemently disagree. With the wages and money spent on the players in our squad the minimum expectation is to be to be promoted.

Farke has done an okay job, but it's hard to argue with the resources at his disposal he could realistically have done any worse than he has.

We are owned by a Venture Capitalist Investment firm. Their priority (legally as an American based company) is to maximise profits

Have Hull City ploughed their field to plant the summer harvest or something?

Haven't seen much worse playing surfaces

Completely fell asleep at the restart after our goal.

Lost all our shape. Needed to make a sub to give us stability in midfield

I don't get us taking of Rothwell, we lose all control of the game.

It is a tactic that has played off for Farke, what once?

#lufc

I think the difference was the naked derision of the Man Utd fans, against a young player who has only been at the club for 6 months.

We weren't booing/celebrating Phillips coming of the pitch.

Do you mean Sheffield United and their 2 deducted points?

🔥 GET INNNNN!!!!

Solomon just raises our level so much. That little bit of class #lufc

Rothwell would pick out some of wide players as well, left in acres of space constantly be a Derby team that want defend very narrowly

You are correct, the EFL should have taken and enforced incremntal punishments over the Gnonto chant (from warnings to partial stadium closures to point deduction). Leaving it to the club is never going to be effective because their sanctions are not enough of a deterrent.

A zero tolerance stance to racism, isn't zero tolerance if you allow racist chants at every game for a year.

The club decided it was easier to ignore/feign ignorance

Too late. Club and Football League let the racist Gnonto chat go unchallenged and this is the direct consequence

NOOOOOO PIRRROOOOEEEEE!!!
NOOOOOO PAAAARRRTTTTYYYYY!!!!

I do get the frustration with Farke - if we had the opportunity to sign a manager of the quality of Ange I'd be all for it personally.

With the quality of our squad you cannot say we are overperforming currently, even with our position in the league.

Elland Road is noticeably quiet this season

It would be interesting to see how they compare vs last season. Especially at home - we seem to fully control games this season which suggests ball-in play time would be much higher

Do you have these stats for every game this season?

I thought he was one of the best refs we've had this season. Didn't buy the (only) tactic from Derby to win cheap freekicks in our half.

With time-wasting, he spoke to goalkeeper half way through the first half and then we scored. So hard to say how he would have dealt with it if it continued.
