Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Fri Sep 22, 2023 8:41 am  

I'd say the jury is out at the moment on it... for me we've signed the best striker in the championship, he's prem quality and we're playing him at 10.. it has worked in a couple of games and not worked in a couple so it's definitely jury out time...

Rutter has done pretty well and i love his attitude, but he has missed a few sitters which if you'd put Piroe in those areas he would have taken them 99% of the time. Piroe doesn't have the pace of Rutter which i get, but i think you have to have your best goal scorer up front surely.. i suspect though Farke thinks because we don't have an out and out 10, Piroe at 10 and Rutter at 9 are possibly the best options at the moment.. I think if we struggle to score Saturday he will need to change it. I think Summerville could be a good 10 if he just starts being a bit better when he releases the ball.

I met Rutter yesterday by the way, daughter got a photo with him. Lovely lad, very friendly. His car is unreal... Lambo Urus in matt purple..

Piroe's got 3 goals in 4 games, there will be games where he misses chances and doesnt score, just like they'll be games where Rutter scores. I'm not concerned.

It`s true what you guys are saying about Piroe/Rutter and one or the other will have off days and another time bang them in.
At the moment Rutter is very Bamford and not the type of forward I like to see, personal preference only.
One thing is we are heading in the right direction and if we can stay top 8 until January and buy the right player or 3 we should be making the playoffs at least.

Got tickets for tomorrow, looking forward to it, not been to a game for about 18 months.

Can see us bringing in a 10 and a left back in Jan.

Not good news on gnonto he could be out a few weeks

We do seem to have some bad luck with injuries.
I`m going for an impressive 3-1 today which should be fun as I`m with Watfords club solicitor and some of their big wigs .

rutter was unplayable today.
kamara a great full debut. fantastic performance

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sat Sep 23, 2023 9:42 pm  

Top top game by Rutter today and I`m beginning to think I misjudged him.
Think you said the same as me Tad but he has made me eat my words and long may it continue.
Byram, Ampadu and Kamara very good.
Anthony will only get better.
James rocks and diamonds along with Summerville who caused them problems but needs to use his left leg now and then.
Ayling nearly gave me my prediction of 3-1.
If only he played a bit longer than 10 minutes
I also think their manager messed up changing their formation second half.

amazing what playing regularly and confidence does. playing at a lower level helps too.
all credit to farke. done an amazing job.
wonder if ayling is now a back up player?
