Agree with most of the above namely Tanaka lucky not to get a second yellow, Aaronson decent first half, Solomon, James and Bogle again my MoM for the second game running.
Also agree Solomon and Aaronson should have been rested and Piroe unfortunately not doing a right lot.
Scoring early doesn`t seem to help us and the notion that those teams that park the bus make it difficult for us doesn`t ring true.
Both Wednesday and Norwich attacked us for a good 20 or so minutes and we didn`t exploit it.
The test will come on Monday although with slightly better luck Sunderland could/should have beaten Burnley 4 nil so there`s hope.

A really positive press conference from Farke. Struijk should be back in a couple of weeks, and he confirmed we're looking at a 10, and striker and centre back cover.

Sadly Sheff Utd and Burnley keeping winning - Burnley's defence is incredible.

Looks a lot like last year - can Farke provide a better run in than last season as the pressure intensifies.

As of last weekend it was the first time 4 sides have been on 50 points or more in the championship at that stage. it’s so very Leeds. I think one of them at least will drop off. Possibly Sunderland.

No team has not got auto promotion on Leeds points total at this stage also..

Did he really! That means to me he’s hopeful of signings coming in.

Great news on Pascal. Big boost

Yes reported in Leeds Live with Farke recognising Struijk does pick up injuries and whilst we have some cover other options will if right will be considered same as the 10 or words to that effect. The only real injured player is of course Bamford who will be out longer than expected. The wimp
Farke said:“If there is a solution for a creative midfield player it definitely make sense to stay awake. In all the other areas we are covered. The only two [positions] we have to stay awake in my head is the centre-back position… and perhaps a bit in the striker position.”

Have they already signed Brereton Diaz?
Think they might be after Charles who was on loan at Leicester along with Chouhdray at Leicester plus a right back Jonjoe somebody or other.
Lets hope they get them all and it unsettles the dressing room!

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Thu Jan 23, 2025 11:13 pm  

Yep got Diaz also. Making a big push fingers crossed backfires

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Fri Jan 24, 2025 4:57 am  

they had a tiny squad and lost 3 to long term injuries.
cannon could be a good signing. Diaz possibly. the others average

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Fri Jan 24, 2025 9:15 am  

I think whoever we might sign as a striker it wouldn’t take them long to be first choice and starting up front. Any half decent centre forward will make a massive difference to our team. Barring an injury crisis, I think that one signing alone would get us over the line for automatic promotion.
