Perfect away performance with quick counterattacks after absorbing greater watford possession of the ball which is unusual for us. Farke playing Gruev for Rothwell in away games key to it as he sits and covers better as a 4. Going out of the cup also means no rearranging of the WBA game so we can get three games against contenders out of the way quickly and an easier run in.

Absolute blessing losing that cup game and Farke and the players know it. The League is 1000000000% their focus. They don't want to make the same mistakes as last year. Great point about the WBA game, that's one we certainly didnt want to re arrange.

Which is away at Preston so a local ding dong derby for them to enjoy perhaps midweek

Watched the Sheff Utd game last night and I’ve got to say they played some lovely stuff up top. Thought Boro looked absolutely clueless at times, and the gulf in class is now showing between the real automatic contenders and the rest. If I was putting money on the top two I’d be fairly certain it would be us and Sheff Utd.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Fri Feb 14, 2025 6:45 am  

they were OK. it was more middlesbroughs appalling defending and giving the ball away constantly in stupid areas

I fancy top two being Leeds and Sheff Utd, I've a hunch that Sunderland may well win Playoffs though Burnley's defence could be quite potent in those games.

Interesting to see Sheff U and Burnley play each other with about 3 games to go...

I think you’re doing them a disservice. Boro weren’t good, but sometimes you’ve gotta give a team credit for what they achieve in their own right rather than just saying the opposition were crap. They played some very good stuff and looked a well balanced team.
