Afternoon all🌞
So … after a troubled week, this presser today seems very significant (2:30pm BST).
For those that also want to watch live, here’s the link: https://video.leedsunited.com/live/Zml4dHVyZSU3QzBfeTdwaTAxa2s
For those that cannot watch live, or are following events on JA606, I will attempt to record the salient points.

So what you are trying to politely say Light is that DF is a confident, erudite, bull-shiiiteeerr… 🤷🏻♂️🤔🤣

I'm sure most fans of Leeds shudder at prospect
of the play offs. After last season (and our history),
I cannot see this team - seen as auto spot certs
for ages - missing out on autos and then suddenly
recharging and winning through the play offs.
It's autos or bust IMO
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of fans will be feeling that way as well. The teams that make a late charge to get in the play offs are going in on the up. The team that just falls short of auto goes in on a downer as we know all too well.

So for you, this translates as a 1-0 loss to Sunderland at Wembley? 🤷🏻♂️🤔

Re-read Farke comments.
He wasn't aware of the pressure at Leeds? WTF
That confirms that this is all about pressure now.
And him not being subject to this level before.
Snd clearly it's transferred to players. Not to mention
Farke's woeful decisions over the last period.
-------------
by 're-read' you mean re-read them with your agenda in mind.
'it confirms?'.. no it doesn't.. that's your guess - doesn't make it fact... that is the exact sort of comment Jonty would make..
'its telling', 'it confirms'... nope, just your spin after you've added 2 plus 2 and come up with 5... but if it helps to back you up on an article, why bother try and look at it from a different angle?

I know, I can't help it, but I keep getting visions of Leeds marching out at Wembley to play Sunderland in the play-off final and Bamford to come on in the last minute of extra-time...

He says he was aware of the pressure. That when he came with Norwich he noticed the nervousness around the club.
What planet is Batty on? It makes it very difficult to have a proper conversation with him.
''Everyone in and around the club was so nervous bevause they lost the game. Why does everyone get so nervous and try to change everything. I was thinking liste, I loved so much to be in this stadium.
This is a massive club. I was thinking one day I'd like to come here and manage. I know how difficult to stay calm.''

Thats my fear yes. We do seem to freeze when it comes to the really big occasions, no matter how much better our side is than the opponents. Losing in play off semi finals to Millwall and Derby and in Finals to Watford, Doncaster and Southampton are good examples.
Like all of us I hope that we do not need to worry about play offs as we go up automatically. If it is to be playoffs then again I will be hoping and praying we "get the monkey off our backs" by going up at Wembley. It is just the horrible feeling of Deja vu at the moment.
