Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
Kick off Saturday 12.30pm, Live on Sky Sports +
Welcome to matchday 38, another early kick and our 3rd match in 7 days.
Team News
Leeds
Same squad but Rothwell faces a late fitness test and seems unlikely to start.
QPR
Have a long injury list and now missing Emilian Chair. So short of strikers they had winger Paul Smyth playing centre forward last game.
QPR have beaten us on our last 4 visits and along with our less than impressive record on early kick offs this has the making of a bananaskin.
However they've lost 5 out of their last 6 games are short of players and are on the road to nowhere in the league
Going 2.1 with Piroe and James on the scoresheet.
Over to the best supporters on 606 with your score predictions and
line ups.
Can we go Live once again please Admin
Leeds Utd 2 Queens Park Rangers 2

Squads not good enough. Should have signed more in the summer. More in January. Manager is useless. No 10. Not a chance of promotion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Give it up! You and Don must be twins but at least you can write a sentence!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m winding Batty up. Those are all his words.
I’ve been pretty clear all season that I think we will win the league. That’s from before a ball was kicked to now. And obviously dropping points here and there doesn’t change that. You can’t win every game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apologies

With my blinkered positive attitude I only saw the nice bit anyway

I don't think Farke has used the squad properly. Disappointing today.

Aaronson started 3 games in 9 days. Id have gone Gnonto and Ramazani from the start, probably Joseph up top with Piroe off him. We have a phenomenal squad in some areas, yet opt not to use it

Absolutely. It is not like the alternatives are so much weaker than the first choice. Some would argue that some of our bench are better than the starters. It is unfathomable why DF disregards the evidence of his own eyes, DJ out on his feet, Aaronson rabbit in the headlights and so on.
DF will be forgiven I suppose if we go up but we are making it much harder for ourselves than necessary.

Players of the quality of Willy and Largie must be narked to see BA starting ahead of them every game no matter how poor he plays
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Would rather see Gnonto given free license in the final third.
He looks effortless in this division and I’d argue he’s our most talented player.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I honestly suspect that Farke plays Aaronson to appease the 49ers
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was thinking that in the way home from the pub. Maybe they just want a Yank in the team so that the Yanks watch us?
No problem if he plays like he did on Weds but today he was poor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We already had proof of that with the poor appointment of Jesse Marsch. We know how that ended.
I’m sure one or two of us here on the Leeds Forum are familiar with MLS. A couple of weeks ago, I went to see Heredia, the runners-up from last season’s Primera Division here in Costa Rica play L A Galaxy in the equivalent North and Central America Champions League tie. They won the 1st Leg against L A Galaxy 1-0. The level of MLS football is reasonable, but nothing outstanding. Paraag and his 49ers need to understand that the MLS hardly has a native pool of USMNT eligible players who are good enough for the Championship, it certainly doesn’t have a pool of players good enough for the levels required in the Premier League.
Aaronson has been given his chance, but for me, after today’s performance, Willy needs to have his opportunity to start against Swansea and maybe until the end of the season.

Gnonto was mom for me thus id start him v Swansea, probably ahead of James on the right as he's away with Wales, same for Ramazani, id switch him in for Solomon who was very good today.

Reflections on today: 1. Think Farke was brave not to play Gruyev, but the answer isn’t Tanaka and Rothwell together - he has to solve the problem tho. 2. Think manager was good to make the half time sub. Shame he’s not been that brave before. 3. Aaronsen shouldn’t be on the pitch for me. Could tie that into point one as a solution. 4. Gotta create competition by mixing things up a little or you stagnate. 5. Weakest champo in years. We HAVE to go up this season despite of Farke rather than because of him. 6. Meslier’s saves win us more points than his perceived f-ups cost us. 7. Some of this Leeds team I just can’t warm to. 8. It’s going to the final three games for sure. 9. We need to spend BIG if we go up. 10. Who should we get as manager to lead us into 2026 cos it sure as heeeel won’t be Daniel.
