When this flashed up on my smartwatch while I was driving back home earlier, all I saw was "Farke has gone".
Nearly put it in a ditch. Completely agree with Dave below. Farke has saved himself for now (and like Damian, I'll eat a slice of humble pie), but in many ways the last 3 games have been freebies. We had zero expectation going in to them and if we'd ended up with improved performances and zero points then that might have been enough to buy a stay of execution. But what those results do is throw the performances against Burnley/Brighton/Forest into sharp relief and puts the focus on the next 3. Farke obviously needs to get the team to continue with the same approach, but with Liverpool, ManU & Newcastle in the first week of Jan, we need to be carrying a bit of momentum - and at least 4 points, ideally 6-7 from these, otherwise we're back exactly where we were at HT against Citeh, we're asking the same questions of DF and the ownership, and we're going into the window with a huge question mark hanging over strategy.

Does 2 great and unexpected results v Chelsea and Liverpool make up for bad defeats at Burnley and Forest ???For me now going forward Brentford is huge - does he revert to type and be negative and end up with another Brighton capitulation or does he stick with our new braver attitude of playing with 2 up top and leaning into the “ big bastards FC”? I know it is our home form that will decide our fate ( or hopefully keep us up with all the lower teams bar West Ham still to come to ER - some real 6 pointers due) But we cannot afford to just be so passive away from home , so far ( apart from wolves ) not a single point and some awful performances- we need to pick up some points and starting the new method with 3 at Brentford would be unbelievable ( hard) and drag them into the relegation fight So come on Dan , be brave and at least put up a fight away from home Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailman.gn.apc.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fleedslist&data=05%7C02%7C%7C99867a3550654c0fd71a08de3713cfe3%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C639008755400373154%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=vkUWl29PBsPdnrc6OK2elm%2BK3W%2Fxv4R82lZXCMxZf6w%3D&reserved=0<https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist> To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fleedslist%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C99867a3550654c0fd71a08de3713cfe3%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C639008755400397965%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=xdscESiVal5%2BO0BngXHqduwjztSg%2FheyT3kbZZcsnnc%3D&reserved=0<https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/> Rest In Peace Steve "Score one, score one more!"
