Good point away at a direct promotion rival. Extended the lead at the top. Yep, need a better 9. Piroe isn’t effective in games like that. Too easy to defend

You would not want to play Burnley in the play offs - if they scored game over. Their defence is so strong. Only having one shot on target doesn't help matters either. Meslier still looks very shaky at times.

Burnley could be the new Ipswich. They were very lucky against Sunderland who outplayed them for much of the game similar to us to some extent. I`ve seen them in another couple of games and thought they were nothing to write home about. But with a defence that has only conceded 9 goals they`re doing something right. Whereas Ipswich conceded for fun and whilst we waited for them to implode they got over the line which might be the case with Burnley who bore the opposition to death.

I think we would all have taken a point beforehand. I think that’s why Farke went with Gruev and Tanaka. Having seen Burnley’s lack of ambition, I’m beginning to think it’s two points dropped tbh. Unfortunately for us Solomon didn’t work as an inverted winger last night, and as for Piroe…..no, no, and thrice no. He only has one goal in the last 6 games, constantly gives the ball away, doesn’t tackle, doesn’t win anything in the air…what on Earth is he doing on the field ? He is an absolute liability to the team. M.O.M for me was Rodon, defended well and was the only player from the centre of the field that was actually prepared to carry the ball forward into space and look to penetrate down the middle. Tanaka/Gruev will work when you’re happy to settle for a point but it’s not a combination when you’re looking to go at teams. Anyway, we’re two points clear at the top, let’s hope Farke has taken things from last night and can fine tune us for the run in.

Not at our best last night, too many sloppy passes and giving the ball away too easy, especially in the first half, think Ampadu gave the ball away about 4 times.

He's making some great defensive tackles though but for me looks some way off what he was. lets hope we get a good bit of business done this week.. Aaronson was ineffective again last night, teams who are good defensively eat him up for breakfast, especially when we're away.

piroe was poor but joseph would struggle to trap a bag of cement. awful.

hearing there might be an incoming tomorrow

Yep, both Prioe and Joseph were poor. FOTMOB ratings have been really poor for Piroe and Aaronson in recent weeks (though i thought Aaronson was decent against Norwich to be fair). We definatley could do with a bit more firepower up top either at 10 or 9 (ideally both but can't see it)..

[quote="tad rhino":3hi78w1h]hearing there might be an incoming tomorrow[/quote:3hi78w1h] any ideas Tad ? I thought Farke was hinting at something in his post match press conference with his checking his phone comments.. i like the lad at Watford, he's top of assists, (Chakvertaze or something).

no idea. but she works at aclinic leeds use for scans and tests. medical booked in for tomorrow according to her. the49rs always do there business quietly though

[quote="tad rhino":2dhvfyi6]piroe was poor but joseph would struggle to trap a bag of cement. awful.[/quote:2dhvfyi6] It’s almost certain that Joseph starts against Cardiff on Saturday. The only way that he doesn’t is if, A) Piroe is having a relationship with Farke’s daughter. B) Piroe is having a relationship with Farke himself. C) Piroe is Farke’s illegitimate son. I am beginning to think that all three above are true.

[quote="tad rhino":2r69v6vz]no idea. but she works at aclinic leeds use for scans and tests. medical booked in for tomorrow according to her. the49rs always do there business quietly though[/quote:2r69v6vz] Let`s hope it`s an attacker and not another midfielder or winger!

I think Piroe's scoring record when starting is worse than Joseph's now. He was a traffic cone against Burnley.

I'd be happy with piroe against the likes of cardiff. but last night is simply not his game. wrong choice by farke

Interesting to read Piroe only 1 goal in last 6 and Aaronson only 1 assist in last 6. Pretty poor form considering our results. Piroe best finisher by a mile at the club but games like that at Burnley don’t suit him. Trouble is Joseph doesn’t look like he’d score in a brothel

Could it be Matt Taggart a LB at Newcastle to replace Firpo I wonder.

that's rumoured but he's hardly played for 2 years. how many full backs does a squad need?

medical cancelled this morning. as you were gentlemen

it's all very quiet even by 9ers standards... not even a half decent link... apparently the Targett link is nonsense..

they kept tanaka quiet though

Any idea who the medical was for Tad?

no. just they had one booked. friend is the administrator at a private clinic leeds use for scans etc

Heard that Akpom is available. Didn`t he score a bucket load of goals for Boro when he played for them? Not sure about his current form but based on his past he would be ideal.

Leeds are in for Cameron Archer, apparently
