Re: Middlesbrough pre match chat

You don't score as many goals as Piroe has if you are a goalscoring midfielder. He's not a traditional 9, but he's not a 10 either, he's more a hybrid of the two imo. When we signed him the Swansea Phil Hay said as much whilst praising Piroe for his scoring, hold up and link play in the right syste...

Re: Archie Gray

Wasn't sure where this should go but just thinking. Remembering how important Klich was for Bielsa with his runs helping to make overloads and give us a numerical advantage in attacking areas (not to mention his goals and creativity). Vrancic did the same for Norwich. Summerville gets doubled up on...

Terrible shame that we've been wasting away his career the past 3 years. We really should have let him go on loan and brought in someone else.

Re: Joel Piroe

Primarily he is a striker. Nobody scores 41 goals over 2 seasons coming from deep, playing as an 8 or playing as a 10. Only a player in the right place at the right time can do that and that is where Piroe's strength lies. Most of his goals for us ealier in the season were a result of him finding h...

Re: Blackburn Rovers Post match discussion

Not going up could be a total disaster, we owe so much money the squad would be smashed to bits. And no guarantee the venture capital fund would help us rebuild long term, they want a return on the investment not 2,3 years in the money pit that is the Championship. Farke was always the short term s...

Re: Blackburn Rovers Post Match Discussion

I am nowhere near as angry as i was after the Sunderland game. DF has done a remarkable job getting us into this position, rest PB now for 9 days, bring him back, play like today, and we'll go up. Gnonto was subbed because he's coming back from injury and had run himself ragged, injuries occur most...

Re: Blackburn Rovers Post Match Discussion

I'm a bit beat up over this last week. Don't want to start knocking the players or the manager. Any other time of the season, we'd have won these last 2 home games, Hard to watch right now.

Re: Blackburn Rovers Post match discussion

We look devoid of ideas, especially against spoiler teams. I keep harping on, we have two central midfielders who can't score & create goals. We have no one running into the box from deep, such as a Bowyer/Howson type. We've had 27 corners vs Sunderland & Blackburn & haven't even look l...

Re: Sunderland - Post Match Discussion

I was so bored after the first 45 minutes, my anxiety levels were down to nil as the writing was on the wall. I didn't watch the game and have no desire to do catch it now. How was the boredom level. We both sat through the George Graham era. There were plenty of times I wanted to take a nap. I was...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Thursday 11th April) End of a dynasty as Dallas hangs up his boots

Largely missed the last few days due to a few things going on. After a poor result, the table basically looks the same. And now 4 to play. The Dallas news is another big moment. Another permanent fan favourite and club hero. A workman that the rest of us can really relate to. At a point, when he was...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 8th April) - Ipswich falter but Leeds bottle it

FFS we lose by 1 goal an away game against a tough opponent and all the geniuses on here are howling at the moon including the main man . Apparently you lot know better than everyone including Bielsa and Farke both of whom rate Bamford highly and it is not coincidental that our improved form in 202...

Re: Leeds Utd v Sunderland Match Thread

Reports on Roberts and Gnonto means they won't start. Leaves Gray at RB and Kamara in midfield.

Comments on Bamford make it odds on he will start.

And if Ampadu is out, it will certainly be Cooper.

Regardless of opinions. Let's support whatever team Farke picks.

Re: Sunderland pre match chat

I don’t think this is a bad shout - Geo is not 100%. I would be inclined to use him for the last 30 mins. But we all know that DF does not make changes unless enforced. I do not think it is nailed on that Gnonto will start either . I would not be surprised if it is the same line-up as per the Coven...
