Well we are in deep trouble now -5 defeats in 6 I think, struggling to score goals at one end of the pitch and struggling to keep them out at the other end.We always needed there to be 3 teams worse than us , we hoped for our promotion colleagues, Sunderland and Burnley to be 2 of them and were scratching round for a third. Unfortunately Sunderland have romped clear and even when they lose players for the African Cup their 8 point advantage looks too big.Burnley and wolves look doomed but with west ham and forest turning things round its hard to see who will take that 3rd relegation spot if not us? We needed ER to be a fortress and it started OK beating Everton and creditable draws but we have now lost 2 of the last 3 at home These stats have led to the crowd or at least a decent proportion of it losing faith with Farke. Its not all his fault by any means - the mu h vaunted transfer policy of getting big lads in and being solid defensively has failed and we have ending up buying a poor keeper, an even worse centre half ( Bijol) , 2 defenders who can't get a game Justin James and the so far invisible Bourneau. 2 very similar midfielders in stach and longstaff who both lack that bit of quality. Plus 2 non- scoring centre forwards ( nmencha knew nothing about his goal) The only half successful buys so far have been Okafor who can be a handful but drifts in and out of games and Gudnundsson who is mostly solid but prone to errors , his slip / falling over led to struik having to make the last ditch foul for their goal scoring free kick Yes we fought hard and could have had and, perhaps deserved a point, but for all our decent play we created 3 moments- the scrambled goal, the DCL disallowed goal ( he scored withhis hand ) and the header by struik which was saved. Not much for 90mjns. The crowd singing " give us a sub" showed the level of frustration and it is hard to see DF surviving these next 3 games- I reckon he's gone by Christmas The ref was awful 5 cards to 1 , allowing Mcginn to referre it for himThe south Stand was even worse - never saw or heard themWeather was atrocious Sunday games are shit Things are bleak Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected]
