Dirty Leeds

Wasn’t on bench against Coventry but we had all 4 first choice options available.

We should treat corners like attacking throwins. Don't load the box, asking to be countered.

When we concede a pen we should put a CB in goal. Not sure what the rules are but if he can only use his feet, so be it. It may yeald a better success rate than Meslier's sub 5%.

Usually suggestions like these would be enough to get someone sectioned, but with this current Leeds United I can go about my day as normal without fear of intervention.

It’s odd that everyone except those in positions to do something can see quite clearly where things are somewhat short of where they should be.
As you say specific coaching for keepers short falls, set piece coaching, and how about coaching players to pass the ball for a player to run onto ( novel idea i know), how about coaching wingers to get to the touchline and cross the ball, teach CF’d to attack the goal area etc etc etc. Could even try teaching players to head a ball, it’s not banned yet is it?

How come everyone outside of the management structure can see things yet so called professionals cannot? Beyond me.

Vernon Anita is available

And only 35

Sounds like Farke has shot down any suggestion we might delve into the free transfer market.

Moylan on TSB match reaction suggested that Solomon would be back in contention for Friday night. He’d heard on the ‘QT’.
Appears that won’t be the case.

Months not weeks for Gruev. Surgery required. Meniscus.

6-9 months according to Google. That’s his season done.

Fucking hell. We never get simple injuries.

Gutted.

Last week we looked like pulling away from the pack. Now we're back to huge question marks. Do Tanaka and Rothwell have the required quality and can they stay fit?

They simply have to. Probably the 2 toughest games in our next 2 fixtures and a really fucking inconvenient international break in between.
Wankers saying we should have kept Kamara or laying the blame on the club for not doing enough in the window. But if we keep Kamara we don’t have Tanaka so completely invalid point. And signing another defensive mid wasn’t on the agenda towards the end of the window. CB maybe but not another mid.

If worst comes to absolute worst Struijk can play DM and Aaronson can play the 8. Though Wober is out for 4-6 weeks so Struijk won't be an option til then.

I just can't see Rothwell and Tanaka both staying fit til Ampadu is back (this is Leeds United after all). Suppose they just have to get to Jan window unscathed.

I've not seen much of Charlie Crew, I expect we'll be seeing a lot of him off the bench to manage Tanaka and Rothwell's minutes. Would be a very good time for another wonderkid to emerge. Fingers crossed he's as good as reports suggest. Hopefully he doesn't have to be thrown in the deep end mind.
