Anyone think we might stay up?

[spaldy]

Didn't know we were 18th in wage bill! Actually very impressive given first year back up and some fiscal limitation and still above relagation zone. Even more impressive that we play attacking and easy to watch football most of the time.

[WTF11]

The last few games have shown what we can do, but we've not pulled away from others who in all likelihood have a better overall squad but have been misfiring. We can't work on the basis that they will continue to do so

Expect nothing else from you....a comment after a so called disappointing result... a draw away to Everton!!, you've been very quiet regards actual team performances of late ... in every game in the last 10 he has changed tactics and formations at start and during a game.
Our squad is rated as 18th in value..... let that sink in to your little anti Farke head foor a moment..
The team has overachieved and we have collected more points than most expected at the start of season[/QUOTE]

"Expect nothing else....." etc etc etc.

I've been "quiet of late" because it seemed that after the first half at Schitty Farke had had some kind of epiphany, switching to a formation and tactic that actually worked. I've made a few comments as such, why would I do otherwise?

But when we show signs of reverting to the crap we saw in the early stages of this season, exactly why should I, or others, remain silent or is that what you would prefer?

Also 18th re wage bill[/QUOTE]

And as far as team value and wage bill position, who is responsible for that and what exactly are they doing to maximise any kind of return?

[WTF11]

Leeds have won just 6 games, drawn 8 and lost 9. In terms of the squad value and wage bill that seems abiut equitable with where we are in the league. Doesn't matter if we are playing better, what matters is whether we are actually delivering improvements in the position in the league. So far, we're not and I ask again, will Farke employ the kind of tactics that have shown positive results of late, or do we go back to bore-ville which is what we had up to the Schitty game?

[whitestomper45]

Most on here will comment during the downs and ups.... you seem to prefer when we're in the former. (politics aside).. Regards wages/position dunno what you are meaning!... there are restrictions with how much they can spend, the goal of any promoted side is to survive for at least 3 seasons... so far we are on an improving curve, a point away to Everton is OK for me. Maybe changes could have been made earlier but the goal Everton scored could have been defended better.
The longer we survive and improve, the better the class of player we can attract, not everyone wants to be in a hard working side battling for every point, within a squad where most of the players realistically would struggle to get game time with many of the other better PL teams.

[costa_blanca_white]

Yes

[WTF11]

Play like we have and did before half time at Schitty, no

Play like we did after that half time, yes.

But......We are reverting to the sh1t one-up-front tactics that have doomed us to relegation fodder. Great stuff Farke.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

we played crap vs arsenal both times, thankfully chelsea woke up at half time vs westham and beat them, would like spurs to lose and palace vs forest to be a draw, that way we don't lose too much for the weekend

[WTF11]

Next 5 games for us and those round us.

Hard to choose which of us have it the hardest. Mixture of upwardly mobile teams and those trying hard to avoid the drop (apart from Wolves of course!).

West Ham: Man Utd (H), Bournemouth (H), Liverpool (A), Fulham (A), Man City (H)

Nottingham Forest: Wolves (H), Liverpool (H), Brighton (A), Man City (A), Fulham (H)

Leeds United: Chelsea (A), Aston Villa (A), Man City (H), Sunderland (H), Crystal Palace (A)

Tottenham: Newcastle (H), Arsenal (H), Fulham (A), Crystal Palace (H), Liverpool (A)

[spaldy]

Burnley gone as well.

Think you have to include Palace as well. They have been very poor for some time and have a lot of internal chaos. They could end up deeply in the battle.

I think west ham is believing now and have a great coach. They will pull away in the end

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Aye wolves and Burnley are doomed now, so it's between west ham, forest, Leeds, palace, and spurs, and I think the final team of that bunch to go past 30 points will be the 3rd team to go down

[Rev72]

Palace beat Brighton who in truth were absolutely piss poor.

[norfolk white]

Didn?t see that coming, no one helps us

Palace have their issues for sure, Glasner saying he won't be staying won't have helped, but the players are good enough if they can get back the kind of team spirit they had pre-Christmas. Todays result will help that, unfortunately.

Think Spurs may be in trouble.

All v "interesting"!

[norfolk white]

Seemingly Brighton now dragged into it, thought spurs would be good enough to not even worry to much, not so.
