Your players neeed Mogga back mate , he will steady them down

Post by **Zambo** » Thu Mar 14, 2024 2:57 pm

Yeah, and hope he makes a full recovery. Venus doesn't appear to have the same impact, but guess that's why he's an assistant.

Lacking a leader at the club at the moment, and it's not looking good. In previous seasons always had confidence we would survive, but haven't got that positivity this time.

How is Luke Ayling doing?

His legs started to go for us but never failed to give his all. Will always be a popular man at Leeds. Great servant.

I hate him.

Would enjoy slowly feeding him into a wood chipper.

When he plays in a 4 lack of pace is obvious now, MC has gone to a 5 & Ayling is 50% better than he was , suits it more & has 3 assists in last 3 ....is a top man at the Shithousery game .....but we knew that anyway

. 50/50 if he will get deal though, he is improving with reg games

Top of the league

I’d realised that Leeds kept winning. Partly because I noticed the fat wretches I work amongst weren’t looking quite as appalling as usual and partly (mainly) because I’d clocked the results.

Gone about it very quietly and efficiently tbf. The Beeston bastards.

It's genuinely insane how despite all of the points we've amassed already, we could very easily miss out by finishing 3rd. We'd be well clear in most other seasons. I still think it will be us and Leicester top 2 but if Ipswich see it out, then fair play to them. Weakest squad of the top 4 but still right up there in March. Fair fucking play.

And also the difference in finances with the other three clubs benefitting from parachute payments whilst Ipswich came up from league one. It would be a huge achievement if they went up.

Yep. McKenna has done a great job. On paper some of their players shouldn't be anywhere near the top of the league.

Daniel Farke could be where we have the edge over our rivals. He's done this before and has a very calm demeanour. He's done an excellent job as he inherited a messy situation last summer - lots of mercenaries wanting to go and the fans disullioned with nearly two years of post-Bielsa slop being served up. The new owners have made some good decisions so far and the signings have mostly all been spot on. The best of the bunch has to be your old boy Ethan Ampadu - an absolute steal at £7m. I don't remember him having a bad game yet. Now captain too.

Looks like Rowett is to return for the last 8 games, but think it could be too late to get us out of the shit. Mowbray won't return this season if at all, who's stand in Mark Venus has been a disaster.

Good to see him doing well. He needed a club to join and feel wanted. Sometimes being versatile can have its drawbacks for the individual as you float around a bit. You need to nail down a permanent position. Ben White is similar. He’s found it at right back now.

Come on the Southampton later

Post by **Zambo** » Wed Mar 27, 2024 2:08 pm

Well Birmingham might be going down to L1, but the owners are buying 50 acres of land a mile or so from St Andrews (@Knighthead Park), to build a multi sport stadium. Just have to hope that one of the sports is football.

Lot of hope and responsibility on the shoulders of Gary Rowett, our ex and current interim manager.
