I agree Tad.
Just saying last night he was well below par.
I do think that Farke has made his mind up on players such as Hjelde, Cresswell possibly, Bate, Gelhardt and Greenwood.
The first 3 on that list I personally think should still have a future at ER.
At least I feel he has decided Ayling is no longer at the standard we need.
Just wish he decides Cooper and Bamford are no longer good enough.

I think he has with ayling. not started for a long time and now spence is fit not even on the bench. cooper is a back up. nothing more. both will go or retire in May.

Ffs Firpo out for 3 weeks with a hamstring injury.
Just get rid of the useless fecker in January and get in another LB.
Personally I would also keep Joseph and not let him go out on loan as I`m sure Bamford will get injured in the next few weeks and it would leave us short up front.

I agree.

should be a cracking atmosphere today. hopefully ability should tell.
get wrapped up. not going to be warm that's for sure

I think Boro are one of the best teams in this league, it will be a very close game.

they are inconsistent and might make the play offs. no great shakes but like at Sunderland it's their cup final. should be a cracker.
got my thermals on that's for sure!!!

I'm not sure they're inconsistent now, they've won 7 of their last 10, I think, and have several key injuries.

Leeds have better individuals compared to most teams in this league which will get them close to promotion at a minimum, but I'm not convinced by us structurally, in this game especially.
But it's a huge win, and hopefully having a full week's rest will iron out the wrinkles.

Important win again today. Some good stuff and some not so good stuff but that’s 3 games in 8 days and Boro played well. We’re going along nicely.

Surely Ipswich will start going off boil soon, need Southampton to do same but all we can do is what we’ve been doing.

I think for the first time this season I got the score bang on today.
Wasted a few chances Rutter in particular and made life difficult for ourselves.
Although Boro are no mugs and play some nice football.
3 points is all you can ask after 3 games in 8 days.

I thought our key players were quiet today. rutter isn't quite on it either.
from the back of the kop you could see huge spaces in the centre of midfield. boro passed through us, as swansea did.
still its another 3 points.picked up a Sunderland ticket too so that's a bonus

Annoyingly we should be 3/3 now but we’ve not lost a game in six and also have 8 wins in 10, with 1 draw and 1 loss in there.

Ipswich got a very tough run coming up.

Middlesbrough Watford away next. Then Norwich Leeds Leicester

They could potentially lose all 5 there.

I`ve noticed that Tad and sometimes it looks like we need another player in there to fill the gap.
Let`s hope other teams are not sussing out the way we play like they did with Bielsa.
Whilst we will always score goals we do leave ourselves vulnerable at times.

anyone else going to Blackburn.? I'm on thd Griffin branch coach. mate helps run it. quite a few spares going around
