Onwards & Upwards. 7 games left to go, 2nd in the league & we control our own destiny. Burnley have to play Sheffield Utd. At the start of the season we would have taken this. It won’t be easy, more points will be dropped. WE ARE LEEDS 💙💛🤍 WE MARCH ON TOGETHER. #LUFC 💙💛🤍
I have backed Daniel Farke all season he's got some big questions to answer still think we go up has to be Top two if Daniel Farke doesn't win us promotion he's gone all our best player's sold and we could be in the wilderness for year's ask Preston it was 1961 when they where in the TOP flight ✈️ 😱
It's in our own hands ✋️ for me Meslier has to be dropped the back four don't trust him we don't trust him cost us too many points FFS . I wouldn't trust Mr Meslier with a BAG OF HAND ✋️😫GRENADES if you look at that photo of Joe Rodons face it tells you everything so it's a big call M.O.T 🦚
I would agree but now Burnley playing Sheffield Utd doesn’t look so good. If Burnley win we are bollocksed…. Every way you look at it we are the out of form, error strewn team 🤷♂️ #lufc
Burnley beat Sheff United it’s still in our hands to finish above both Burnley and Sheff United. Lots of football, twists and turns to go… it’s all going to be gut wrenching and could go anyway. Form can turn on one result. One thing is for sure, the players need to not give up, as many fans have
It’s ok Farke is 100% that we’ll be playing in the Premier League next season. Look, we all hope we’ll get promoted but March has been dire! Here’s to a fabulous April & May 😎
The Burnley v Sheffield result, whichever way it turns out puts pressure back on them. Somebody has to drop points which turns the screw on them. Provided we win that week🙏 . It’s not over yet. #lufc
Let’s hope we’re not in a situation where a draw suits both of them and keeps us in 3rd at the time.
Goes without saying but it's truly pathetic that we're pinning our hopes on our rivals and hoping the likes of Coventry do us a favour. Totally embarrassing, as always.
We aren’t at that stage yet, they are also relying on other teams taking something off Leeds. We are all in the same boat. We win all our games we are up. Of course the chances are all 3 teams will drop points in the last 7 games, it’s just who drops the most will miss out.
I get that there's reason to what you're saying but we're never in the same boat, we're always in the boat with the hole in the bottom.
That made me smile. 👍
You’re right. They are under intense pressure & Burnley aren’t in control.
Daft as it sounds all 3 teams are in control of their destiny. Any of the 3 teams can say they are definitely promoted if they win every game until the end of the season. The difference, as it stands, is that Leeds know that both Sheff United and Burnley can’t both win when they play each other.
True. 👍
Have a look at Ipswich & Leicester results last April. This run in will not be straightforward for any team I don’t think.
Respectfully, I don't care about last season or those teams. I care about pissing it away... again! Fourth season on the bounce where we've just wilfully ignored all the warning signs for what's potentially to come. Dumb club.
If that’s the case at that point then we won’t deserve to go up unfortunately.
Take Meslier out of the lineup. Put Darlow an International GK in and that’s the bulk of the error source sorted.
Need to sack Farke for that to happen
Let’s see his lineup at the weekend.
Sadly we've lost all momentum, the other 2 have it, let's be realistic
Nobody said it would be easy.
Just not going to happen
Who knows but you’ll enjoy the run in more if you have hope.
Prefer to lower expectations to be honest
Nah. It's done. The desperation about them playing each other has become palpable. It won't matter. We've beaten ourselves.
A win at the weekend will brighten the mood.
And when we draw?
Not great but not the end of the world either.
Win, Lose or Draw
I was being as positive as I could when I said "draw"...
🤣🤣
I wouldn't have taken this at the start of the season. We should be well clear. We're like that knackered athlete in the 10,000m coming off the final bend. Sure we're at the front but the legs have gone and the others are kicking for the line.
We should be well clear. We aren’t, but it’s draw a line under it, make one or two player changes to take errors out and inject energy & life in. This is where a good Manager earns his money.
Totally agree with you but my gut feeling is that Farke sticks with Mes I think he will start Gnonto, Gruev and bring Firpo back Vs Luton
I agree with those changes. You then have Rothwell if need to chase the game & Amps if you need to shut a game down. Meslier is now a big target that opponents are going to go for with corners, crosses etc. Farke needs to be brave now.
Aye, and they draw and both gain a point on us while we continue to flounder… Not quite found my positive mindset yet!
It’s there. LUFC never make it easy.
Not feeling it yet, soz :(
Got to look forward. The 89/90 run in was painful
What happened then? I can't remember because I didn't watch football back then.
We only won 3 out of the last 8. There will be plenty of twists to come. Either way we have to enjoy it. Life’s too short not to.
I can still remember the despair after we lost at home to Barnsley with less than two weeks of the season left. Imagine if there’d been social media back then!
Well we might not have to imagine 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
The following game was Leicester at home, and that was looking bleak till Strachan leathered in the winner in the last few minutes!
That's dark.
I'm in a very dark place 😂😂
Omg that's horrendous. Can't see our competition doing that badly, as only we are in bad form. Only won 2 of this run last season!! Absolutely has to be a response at the weekend.
Have a look at April for Ipswich last year and Leicester. It won’t be straightforward for any team.
Yes I was thinking of looking at Leicester imparticular, because they fell of a cliff at this point and then finished strong. 8 have said all season that we'll have a bad patch at some point, because everyone does and that it will just depend how deep and long it is.
Agree. We aren’t a bad team overnight. Mistakes are recurring, but those can be fixed.
It's not been overnight though, has it. It's been getting increasingly worse for weeks.
Agree, but I feel we only need a couple of changes to take errors out & inject energy in to make a difference. Energy is important because the quality of our opposition in the last 7 games isn’t good but they are all sure to fight like hell.
This is Farke you are talking about. Whilst the entire world can see the changes needed, both before games and during them, he does his own mad things. I have no confidence in him at all.
Yes this is true. Feels very hopeless, but it really isn't.
Same...
Unless Farke changes we will end up 3rd.
His lineup at the weekend will certainly be scrutinised. He’s under pressure for sure.
Hes bombed out players like Darlow, Largie, Schmidt and Willy. Physiologically how will they feel if called on? Also, if he does drop players it’s an admission he was wrong. He’s put himself in a place where he’s in a no win situation.
At least Darlow wouldn’t be coming in cold after 2 feisty International appearances. #lufc
He has. GK decisions like this are not great at this time of the season but outfield players are a lot easier to sub on & off if not working out. Aaronson at QPR is a eg.
100%. Playing Largie and Willy a bit more would have given others that look leggy now a rest and sharpened them up. I think Farke plays the same team Luton as against Swansea. Possibly Grueve, Tanaka and Firpo come in.
I'll wait to see how we perform at the weekend before making any judgement. If the players come out all guns blazing and we win comfortably then I'll have a more positive outlook. If they play like they have the last few games then we're done for.
Fair.
Huge couple of weeks ahead. We need to get behind the players. Different mentality chasing to be chased. Time for Gnonto to shine.
Need Gnonto & one or two more to step up now.
