Me too, Chilli. Definitely didn't feel that way.

Credit to the backline and frontline--that's the kind of balance we need.

Re: Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread
Pleased too. Shows the manager is backing him. And that his attitude is back where it should be.Cjay wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:06 pm KickofGoal was perfect as well.
Comfortable for 99% of the game.
Got careless towards the end forcing Meslier to make a few decent saves.
Finishing again was poor unfortunately but didn't matter in the end.
Back 4 were solid, thought Firpo coped well given they targeted him.
Gruev and Kamara very effective covering Rodon and Ampadu.
Another decent game for Gnonto and ok from Bamford.
Summerville and Rutter ran the show.
Pleased CC got on the pitch.
I only did radio today. But Dorigo was knocking CC for a little mistake today - inexperience. Not sure what exactly. Comment: "And that's why he's not 1st choice back up."

Re: Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread
Think that was the time he overran the player and got the foul. A little too eager TBF thought he made the most of his minutes. Nice to see DF coaching him as soon as the final whistle blew too.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:29 pm Pleased too. Shows the manager is backing him.

Wanted to win the ball, got tight, attacker fell over and gave a free kick.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:29 pm Pleased too. Shows the manager is backing him. And that his attitude is back where it should be.

Naive maybe but he wins the ball back and launches an attack and he's a hero.
Nothing massively wrong imo

Re: Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread
The three forward midfielders all outstanding today, couldn't really separate Geo/Cry and Willy who's daring Farke to put James back in when he's fit. The 4th member had a good game without being top quality, some mis-controls letting him down

James would have buried that chance.

Re: Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread
I do miss his wee legs pumping for all they're worth No slight at all to Gnonto, who's made the best of Dan's absence.

Re: Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread
Yep, and James offers something different to Gnonto. Love to see Willy get some time in his favoured left side...AcrossThePondAsh wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:47 pm That's the kind of headache for DF I'm ok with. Pushes the players too.
In other news Archie seems to be becoming a full back by trade atm, probably needs a run of games in midfield to become a midfielder again

Re: Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread
Love that DF has multiple, legitimate attacking options that also provide some variety in terms of style of play, set-up, etc. Also, means we can make other teams work a little harder with the prep, game-time decisions, etc.The Subhuman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:51 pm Yep, and James offers something different to Gnonto.

Archie continues to amaze from match to match. His footwork, in particular, in these most recent matches has gotten better and better. I'm excited to see what he could do with it in the middle of the pitch, especially with his ability to read the game and opposing players. It will be interesting to see DF's take on the Archie/Connor conundrum. Again, good headaches to have.

Re: Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread
Farke has said before that rotation is nonsense. The team rotates itself over the course of a season. It makes me think that James wouldn't walk back in immediately. That he'll have to wait for the spot to open up again. Same for Strujik and Roberts. Probably won't start a game until an injury or suspension opens a spot up.The Subhuman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:43 pm The three forward midfielders all outstanding today, couldn't really separate Geo/Cry and Willy who's daring Farke to put James back in when he's fit.

Re: Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread
Just mentioned on a previous post about Dan James. I don't think anyone walks back in. I think Farke likes to keep the same team and only make changes when there's an injury. And then the next player gets to keep his place until something else happens.AcrossThePondAsh wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:58 pm Love that DF has multiple, legitimate attacking options that also provide some variety in terms of style of play, set-up, etc. Also, means we can make other teams work a little harder with the prep, game-time decisions, etc.

Re: Leeds Utd v Rotherham Utd Match Thread
The five substitutions was the reason our possession stats decreased somewhat.
At 3-0, Farke was correct to rest half of his outfield players, as a consequence, we lost our control, cohesion & dominance, the game became more of a leveller, although Rotherham rarely looked like scoring a consolation goal

Looked to be a nasty incident in the KOP during the game, someone was led out being carried in a wheelchair.

I'm a big fan of Dan.
