Burnley - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread***

[norfolk white]

Arronsson didn’t even need to hit it first time, he could have controlled it, taken a yard and then picked his spot, but then I suppose he wouldn’t have been able to do his hands in face and look to the skies bit, which he does EVERY single game when he misses or balloons it over the bar.

Hey Rev - looks like it will be a long old season.

Feels like it hopey mate.

I just don?t see how we stay up with Farke and his inability to adapt to situations in games be it tactical or making subs at the right times .

The 49ers have not helped either with the striker issues .

Yesterday we had 2 wingers on the pitch who were in the last side that got us relegated from the premier league.

Really hope I am wrong but it feels inevitable that we get relegated.

After that performance you have to look at player selection and question why you wouldn?t do a mass change. Start Bijol, Tanaka, James , Gnonto and Nmencha.

I?d get Gray involved as well sometime in game

Another loss like that and we are toast anyway. Just a matter of going through the motions the rest of the season.

We can?t score.

Combination of the board/recruitment strategy and Farke.

Board distracted by acquiring rangers which meant the first transfer window we didn’t do much whereas Burnley and Sunderland did.

We were supposed to have 120m/q130m to spend from what the board put out/suggested at the end of the season but we spent about 90m.

We didn’t get the players who aren’t good enough off the books - Piroe (we had an offer around 20m and Farke blocked it apparently), Harrison, Arronson, Gruev. We left attacking players go without replacing them Ramazani and Jospeh (scored 2 this weekend in a MOM performance). We seemed to think we would get money for Wober, Schmidt and Bambi and didn’t. We did t use the loan market at all.

We left everything way too late to deadline day by which time a few players probably thought they were not first choice.

You know my thoughts on Farke and sadly he isn’t good enough at this level. Previous history is repeating itself.

2 wins in 9 games is relegation form and if we don?t pick up 3 points against West Ham next Friday we are in serious trouble as these are the games that we need to get points from especially when you look at the fixtures coming up.
The Christmas period looks particularly brutal.

Huge game on Friday now - really need 3 points given the run of games which is coming up.

If Brentford win tonight we slip to 16th

In all fairness mate they spend more but they aren't necessarily traveling any better. That just shows how hard it is if you don't hit the marks.

Make things worse if we don't beat them is they are playing today and front up again 4 days.
