Season after 33 games

[cherrypie7]

Its been an incredible season. After 33 games, we have won 21, drawn 9 and lost 3. 72 points. Tremendous. At the moment, we are 7 points ahead of 3rd placed Bumley. With that I think we need a maximum of 8 more wins and 2 draws (98 points) to ensure promotion. Not a cakewalk, but definitely in our sights now. With that number, Bumley would need to win 11 and draw 1 to overtake Leeds. Considering they have won 17 of the last 33, it is a tall order for them to win 11 out of 13. Still you never know. Furthermore, Sheffield United too would have to have great runin to overtake us.
i have been very impressed with the ability of substitutes to come on and make an impact. How many times has Piroe come in and scored? James? Strangely, the subs did not perform well against Millwall in FA Cup or Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup.
Have been impressed with Daniel James and Manor Solomon. Both have played like Premier League level players. Aaronson not so much. His biggest problem is how often he loses the ball in possession.
This season we have scored many goals "on the break", i.e. after dispossessing the opponent and sweeping down field. This has put fear into the opponent, as they do not want to lose that ball.
A few Stats:
We have not lost a single League game all year after scoring first.
We have not had a single red card all year.
We have not conceded a headed goal in the League all season. I just heard this one. Kinda weird.
In all 3 games we have lost in the League, all by 1-0, the opponents have scored in the 1st half.
Correct me if I am wrong, but i think we have only conceded 1 penalty (to Blackburn) all season.
Pretty incredible stuff.

We are very good. The most dominant Leeds team I have seen in 20 years. We look the better team almost every game and are improving as the season goes on. Blades, Burnley and Sunderland have improved as well but we have improved more.

What?s even more impressive is we undid the orta damage, sold off some of our best players and balanced the books and are better than last year

Mad respect to the owners and front office as well as the players and supporters

Agreed - we brought in some good players in the summer window and Farke has got them playing well.

We seem much less prone to mess up than in previous seasons.

Whilst I am not the greatest Farke fan for some of what he does (rotation, subs, bringing through younger players generally) got to say he played a blinder in the way he handled the Meslier poor form issues. He also has found a first 11 that gels well.

Rothwell, Tanaka, James and Rodon have been great all season and lately Bogle and Solomon too.

Credit to farke, a very humble man, likes to play fast attacking football, contrary to what others say, works very similar to our hero bielsa, can?t argue with that.

I thought you were saying we were guaranteed promotion - c?mon make your mind up Alf rather than casting flies

Farke has to sit out the game against the blades. I think that's going to hurt. He is a steadying presence on big games.

I've been a critic of Farke on the rotations and the loyalty to players like Bamford and Meslier. I'm glad I've been proven wrong.

No the league is so weak nothing will change. We will put it a few shockers but you lot and other 2 will also.

Burnley require eight 0-0 draws to overtake us…

I’d like to say that was one of mine. It definitely made me chuckle when I saw it!
