Re: Daniel Farke

what kind of idiot of a manager do we have "Farke did say it would be a quiet January. ( just like last season and remember what happened) He didn't say we'd do nothing. He did say he didn't want to upset the squad harmony. Squad Harmony my god, lets not rock the boat by getting in new better ...

Re: Do We Concede More Than We should?

Expected goals. Oh dear.... Cuckoo land nonsense. Who on earth magically dreams up this tosh? Really? What a load of old rubbish. But hang on, maybe I could have a guess, because let's be honest that's what this is. I guess that we shouid score 30 goals a game....:duno: or maybe 2 :duno: ....or ...

Re: Daniel Farke

We were not one of the worst three teams when we came down. Had Gracia not lost the plot or whatever happened, we would likely have finished around 14th/15th Talk before that Palace game was that if we won, we were probably safe I think Gracia was doing a fantastic job. Then something happened that ...

Me too. I'm waiting for a Liam Cooper or Stuart Dallas autobiography to find out.

Re: Do We Concede More Than We should?

As I say we play with just 2 defenders .. we're going to be more venerable. But I still maintain we don't create enough chances. Blackburn created our best 2 on Saturday, neither of which was a gimmie The only point to this thread was to say we do better than expected in converting chances and our ...

Re: Blackburn Rovers v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Again don't think he's responsible for those soft goals ... We don't really know about the Sunderland goal. Strujik says it hit something. But I'd have thought Farke would have said something in the press if that was the case. He'd have defended his keeper if there was an opportunity to. The other ...

He's conceded a couple of soft goals. But his kicking and foot work have never been an issue.

Well that's not a great stat in a division riddled with poor or mediocre teams... We should be top and well clear. Second is under achieving given our game day superiority. Most of the numbers are good. We create plenty of chances. We have a good conversion rate and we score enough goals Problems ...

Re: Do We Concede More Than We should?

Which suggests we don't create enough chances We're second in the division in chances created If there's any issue it's probably in goals conceded. 13. Sheff U 9. Burnley 6. And as I said, opponents are not getting lucky. Our goals conceded is better than it should be according to xG. Hence we're ...

They'll definitely sell out, 25% of them will be Leeds fans though 😄😄 I know from growing up there were aways way more Leeds fans in Donny than Donny fans. I think that waned over the 16 years of wilderness. Certainly the Wembley L1 final may have been a tipping point when Leeds lost a lot of fans f ...

Re: Do We Concede More Than We should?

In most of our games that we haven't won, last season and this one there is always fans saying if only we had taken our chances, we would have been on easy street during the game. I wonder what games some people actually watch at times. The numbers suggest that we do better than expected in ...

A ridiculous comment to make! How to get our fans back up in one senseless statement. You can guarantee the Blunts & Burnley won't sit on their laurels. If we do attempt to wing it, I hope we fail. It would serve them right. He didn't say that He said it would be a quiet January but they would look ...

I doubt he'll go too deep into the 21's. For the simple reason that our 21's are not as good as they were a couple of years ago.

But we could see some heavy rotation. You'd certainly expect the likes of Crew, Chambers and Debayo to see action

Great draw for Harrogate. At least they'll bring more fans to ER than the majority of championship clubs do. Good local tie. Do you think they'll come singing songs like "You're too poor to live in Harrogate?" I bet there are more Leeds fans than Harrogate Town fans living in Harrogate

When can you point to a situation when he has been dispossessed. He is as good as any keeper with the ball at his feet, his first touch is pretty impressive for a keeper. He isn’t perfect by any means but a long way away from making me concerned. I agree, Maybe being nervous is justified as he does ...

Re: Do We Concede More Than We should?

We don't create enough chances to guarantee goals. We certainly do. All in all our stats are good in terms of shots on goal, goals scored, and expected goals scored We have second most goals (31) - Boro have 32.

Re: Derby pre match chat.

They are still defensive midfielders, just a bit more positive in the passing than Gruev and Amps seemed to be but Tanaka and Rothwell are no more creative or offensive minded than Kamara was. Kamara actually created more chances per game and had more touches in the opposition box than Takana and ...
