The problem is, we always play well away and s**t in the home leg. So unless we get a big lead in the first game (i.e. 3-0), I can't see us getting through the tie. I've seen us in the playoffs four times, and 2006 and 2008 we were away in the second leg, and 2009 and 2019 we were at home. So would'...

THIS. Well said SG. Felt there was a fork in the road a couple weeks ago (after Sunderland) where there was an opportunity to start working in more players/experimenting with the lineup as form was clearly dipping. Obviously chose the other route of doing nothing differently and hoping for the best...

Usually there's one team with momentum in the playoffs, but everyone is just limping into them.

They may or may not be top level Championship players. But if you have a squad whereby you are able to basically ignore players wanted by others teams in this league then you must have a brilliant squad in your own opinion? So can't really blame the squad. Unless you expect 25 top 2 level Champions...

It's wrong to say Piroe is afraid of the box, he's not allowed to get in it, as he's forced to play deep. Why would a player who's scored as much as he has not want to score? 🤔 Same with Kamara passing backwards. Gray has come in and just done exactly the same. They're being coached to do this, and ...

No it is not, he has scrambled together something out of nothing, the vast majority of which are totally unproven in the English game prior to this season start, he has picked up some of Ortas shite and turned them into a team capable of chasing promotion. He has worked wonders since the start all ...

Yeah not keen on players being deemed not good enough without being given a chance. You can't judge players on 10-15 minute cameos as was said about people like Gnonto earlier this season when it happened to him. Maybe they aren't good enough but it's based on opinion not evidence. Snacks is a croc...

Not that it matters anymore, but dog botherers pretty much relegated already, so they will bend over for Ipswich.

Middlesbrough now 8th. How can we say Gelhardt has gone backwards and Anthony hasn't shown much? Anthony has only played 5 games worth of minutes in the league. Gelhardt has played a grand total of 2 matches worth of minutes. £15mil on a player Farke wanted, he is in charge as Kinnear said himself ...

Bloody good team.

And what a job Danny Rohl has done at Wendies as well.

Yep Carrick is doing a great job with no resources. Him and Mark Robins are the two most underrated managers in the league.

Burnley only two points off Forest. I thought they were miles behind?

Yes .. No point being a Leeds fan if losing becomes your expectation. I would think Ipswich take 4 points from the next two though, leave us with an outside shot and probably draw their final game. If the players don't have any fight, then there's no hope. Just like last year after Palace at HT, it...

Even if Ipswich did lose the next two (won't happen), do you really see these lot beating Southampton in a must win?

You have to bear in mind, we started the season with no ownership with the knock on effect of having minimum transfer activity. We also players going on strike. Our new signings had no pre-season at Thorp Arch. We did well to sign Ampadu, Rodon, Byram, Kamara, Gruev & Piroe in the short period ...

It suits sky, adidas etc for us to be in the Championship, as we're their cash cows and they make a mint off us, while we're paid fook all in return.

You're totally deluded, if we go up it would take 150 million at least on players and to keep our best players. You think those Americans are going to spend that money? They'll be excuses why they can't. We would be straight back down. Would that be a bad thing? We could pay off the debts and money...

Unfortunately, that's not good enough this season. We all knew we'd need around 96 points for automatic this year.

Can’t be too hard on the players or the manager, it’s just a thing at Leeds, no matter the individuals in the team or the manager we just have an ingrained tendency to crumble at the worst moments - even in recent memory we have Gary monks squad failing to get to playoffs, Bielsa’s first season, th...

The likes of Klaesson, Cresswell, Anthony, Gelhardt, Joseph, Shackleton and Kamara should start against Southampton. It's far too late now to try something different, but they might perform better than some of Farke's favourites. Klaesson in for Mes Cresswell in for Rodon Anthony in for Jimmy Gelhar...

Only Big Sam had the sense to see Mes wasn't good enough. Going back to conceding every shot on target again, that's weak goalkeeping and will cost us the playoffs. I don't rate Darlow at all, and would prefer to see Klaesson again.
