anyhow, got tickets for boro, but in their end. Sat with some of their main 80s boys who I work with at the minute. could be interesting...

Simply have to win at Luton on Saturday, and if we want to get auto promotion its a game we bl**dy should be winning. Fully expect a reaction from the players. We have to get control of the narrative. I expect Gnonto to start at 10, Tanaka and Ampadu in midfield (though i would actually go with Gruev unless Amps has a red hot week in training as he looked a way off being able to start). 

100% mate and would probably start with Gruev Tanaka with Ampadu coming on last 20 or so.
Fear for Meslier and our centre halves against Luton as they have some size and look good at set pieces.
Go at them from the start and let`s hope we don`t score in the first 5 minutes!!

I'd even go gruev and ampedu and get control early. gnonto at 10.

who starts in goal???
darlow for me but not sure what farke will do

Darlow for me too but he`s average at best imo.
Said before Cairns is the best of the 3.
With your goalkeepers hat on Tad do you think Meslier has lost his confidence and should be dropped?
Interesting what big Sam said when he dropped him.
Said Meslier wasn`t happy and was angry and sulked for a few days.

meslier is better than darlow but darlow is steadier. less errors.
that's my view.
stick or twist???
I think it's how the other players, especially the back 4 feel.
have they lost confidence in him? 
rodon and ampedu play with darlow at Wales remember.
honestly, I've no idea which way farke will go.

That's a good point Tad as I do feel the back 4 have lost it with Meslier and Rodon/Ampadu would prefer Darlow.
Farke can`t win. He sticks with Meslier who has another howler and fans will be onto him for not dropping him.
He goes with Darlow who messes up and fans will say he should have stuck with Meslier.
Oh to be a manager.
That`s what he gets paid for I guess.

yep. and lots of fans, ridiculously, hate him because he isn't bielsa! 

Darlow for me, he's been very solid for Wales. He's just played well in 2 internationals alongside James and Rodon and he of course has played alongside Ampadu many times for Wales now so he's not rusty. I actually think the lads will respond really well to Darlow too.


Watched a really interesting video on the Leeds squad under Farke last 2 years and it's looking like it's following the same pattern with a lack of rotation leading to burnout as it did last season...... and that's where Farke gets a lot of criticism.. I for one have backed him fully but his neck is on the line here... fingers crossed he's got it right. Does he have time to rotate at this stage??.... Ramazanni looks very rusty for example and he's a player who always needs lots of minutes to get the best out of him.. but can he take what would be a gamble or does playing the same squad lead to failure.... very very tough situation now and it's why we could have done with a nice points gap..

Surely hes got to give Darlow a chance, we just cant allow Meslier to make any more game changing errors. 


The whole team must have lost all confidence in Meslier now. 


We need the players focusing on their own jobs and not thinking about the goalkeeper.
