Thoughts from Wembley

[spaldy]

I am very happy with our season for a first year promoted team that largely followed all PSR rules. In addition, for much of the season it was very easy on the eyes football. It's easy to second guess but coach did more things right than wrong and we generally were very competitive. Not a hard team to get behind for sure.

I do wish we didn't fixate on certain players so much. we really haven't missed Gruev since his injury. Aaronson plays over Longstaff, Gnonto and Tanaka and I think Justin would still be riding the bench if not for injury to bogle. However, he gets more right than wrong and the side plays hard for him.

May we have more years like this one but maybe get a few more games "over the line". would love to be top 10 next year but no Europe just yet.

[WTF11]

So Daniel/LUFC, keeps proving you wrong; now has 4pts from the last 2 games, the 3 you thought we would get nothing from

You dissect Leeds form over the season and ask why we didn't do better? If we could predict results there would be no need for Orgs or CB's quizzes Form of both teams, injuries to both teams, schedules, errors all play apart.

Your beloved Wrexham.. if they accrued as many points in the first half of the season as they did in the second half, they would have comfortably secured a play of place. They also did better against the top3 than against the teams finishing 4/5/6... go figure

I wondered when you would arrive.

Yes, we did much better (points-wise anyway) than I thought we would, but then again I didn?t anticipate Their defence committing hari kiri in the last minute of the game (I doubt Farke did either). Was a well taken poached goal by DCL, glad for him in the run-up to the England squad selection but I fear a little too little, too late.

I still don?t think we did as well as we could. You make the point regarding Wrexham (and they aren?t my beloved anything, you make yourself look stupid suggesting otherwise, I give credit where its due is all, and not simply in footballing terms), and their first half of the season performance. You?re right, so why is it that when Leeds put together a run of truly remarkable results, you don?t seem to find the reversion to defensive tippy tappy and an end of season position that belies where we could/should have been, equally frustrating/unfathomable?

I stick by my prediction, despite Farkes ?shot across the bows? at the presser, retain him and we will be right back here this time next year.

"Very easy on the eye" & "More years like this one". WTF???? Clearly watching different games and equally clearly have differing levels of "satisfaction"

Wonder if that well known cream cures irritating posters? 🤣

So, he who decries the supposed insulting (yet to see such insult defined), of those he feels compelled to "defend", dresses up insults with an attempt at "humour". Hey ho.

Why I don't mind Farke's reversion to tippy tappy... Well I do a little but understand why. He's pragmatic, a limited team that has that Bielsa like team ethos, his target was to survive and as the finishing line slowly got nearer he erred on the side of caution to reach his KPI. We are not overloaded with PL quality, our front three main strikers have upto signing for us were injury prone and had to get up to speed, we took a risk (we are not at the top table again yet) We have one quality midfielder in Stach, the rest.. well i've given my thoughts plenty of times.. but the great thing is the team ethos and always the fans, who (mostly) get behind the team no matter what, we proved that in the mediocrity of Lge1 we he have the best supporters of any team.

It's great to see Farke raising the bar, like a new successful pop band, the 2nd album is much harder.. As a Northern Soul fan am not looking for heavy metal Norwich didn't back him and true to his character he didn't complain, i for one am glad he is our manager, am not expecting to pull up trees next year, a solid mid table, progress slowly, he reminds me a bit of George Graham, who could have been a great manager for us until London called him back...

Oh come on for once try to smile or have a sense of humour.

Being described as an "irritating poster" isn't something I find particularly humorous, and I suspect had I used the same description with some of those you feel compelled to "defend", you wouldn't have seen the funny side either. What's good for the goose.....
