Definitely Rodgers mark 2.0...scar tissue?

 

Seems to have fallen out with Alcaraz as well.

 

 

I have a feeling they're going to be in the championship for a while.

Their fans deserve amazing credit, all that shite and still providing the banter. One of their fans made this :

If I were them, I would sack Martin and bring in Warnock for the season. He's sort them out in no time at all.

Been wary of Leeds since day 1 given the options upfront but just realising Gnonto faces some time out injured certainly helps things

It doesn't help them, but even without him they were still able to bring Anthony off the bench (he scored), and Bamford is basically back. Hell, Farke even has James playing well.  I think Spence was a bigger loss, because while Byram is a terrific Championship fullback he's a human injury report, historically.  Shackleton has been a real surprise but the more they have to depend on Ayling the worse off they are at the back.

Not if they get rid of Martin sooner rather than later (not that I want this from our point of view).

 

They have view good players, for this level. Adams and Armstrong up front. TBH, KWP, Bednarek and Manning at the back. Midfield they have got weaker having lost JWP and Tella was a big loss. Definitely a team/squad capable of being up there even if not with the strength in depth we have.

 

My view on them is unchanged from the start of the season. Good squad for the level but the manager would be their undoing and I’ve seen nothing to change that view.

Ha ha that's excellent 

[Nalis]

The gap from us to 4th points wise is the same as the gap from 4th to Middlesbrough (22nd).

[BenTheFox]

Leeds are a threat for sure. They have far top much attacking quality at this level not to be. 

 

There's often a team that makes a late charge and secures a playoff spot. I think that team will be Southampton once they replace Russell Martin. 

[StanSP]

Just watched some of the highlights - we really did break Norwich. Some of their defending was disgustingly bad. We properly ran them into the ground as they looked so leggy based on the goals they conceded.

[Wymsey]

There's hardly any quality in the Stoke v Hull game at present.

[Noahfence]

Don’t want to sound arrogant or anything but watching this Stoke v Hull game really does annoy me that we aren’t 8 wins from 8.

Hull takes the league against Stoke

Of course they’re now 2-0 up  thought they look bang average up to that

Hull just scored 2 goals in about 2 minutes! Liam Rosenior is doing a decent job there. Stoke are shocking though.

Say it again in the second half Wymsey when it gets a bit slow 

[Iran]

2-0 to Hull City in quick succession, the football gods heard our words!

[Drink Water]

If Hull makes it to the Playoffs, I won't feel so bad about them breaking our win streak come end of the season.

[Iran]

Maybe the loss at home against Hull wasn't that bad seeing how they are playing right now...

Take it easy on me, will you? 

 

I only posted that before Stoke's 3-minutes of madness..

Here he is again 😂😂😂😂

[ARTY_FOX]

Southampton will be fine as soon as the sack their manager. He's useless.

[Super_horns]

Stoke brought 17 new players in the summer .

 

They probably need another 17!

[Pliskin]

Stoke look absolutely shite. In fact, they look beyond shite.

I've got mates up here in Leeds that aren't as big Leeds fans as deeg.
