With you on all these points, though it has to be said, the referee was shocking on the big decisions, so I'll excuse any whinges on this occasion.
Regarding point number 8, if we don’t go up - whether in autos or playoffs - this will be seen by most fans as Farke’s biggest single misjudgment.

Sorry, but calling Gladbach a small club shows you know very little about German football!..

Made me chuckle - big club in the 70s

5 Bundesliga titles
1 European Cup runners up

2 Uefa Cups

Rev, big club in the 70s, but still big enough!..

You can click it as far forward as you want, I'm only saying that they're not a small club, their stadium holds about 54.000 for Bundesliga games, but can hold 59.749 Plätze!..

And yes they can fill it!..

1/ think they try for a happy medium approach particularly against low blocks. Go hard and concede to counter and your doubling what you need. Against Sunderland we had all the balll yet our keeper made all the saves.
2/ No issue here. We are well down on key penalty decisions this season. Managers like to apply pressure to future referees.
3/ your asking players with terrible goal scoring records to shoot more. The issue isn’t the players but the fact we signed too many who simply don’t score goals.
4/ 126 corners since we last scored from one. Most go in the box. We simply don’t have players able to attack the ball but size and skill wise. I’ve advocated getting Cresswell on the pitch for the last 10 if we need a goal.
5/ sadly lack in chess pieces. Our changes are like for like to suit a style. We don’t have a big lump to bring on up front or different types of players. Limited options.
6/ agree
7/ agree

Germany - I should have made it clearer, BMG are still a big club as far as I'm aware, it was the OPs comment off the mark comment about them that made me laugh.

Sorry, LufcGermany, but when did BMG last win anything?

How to win promotion?

right now, we need to get lucky, not in our hands.....

Sorry Rev, I thought you was pointing out they were big in the 70s and didn't think you was pointing it at the OP!.

kammy, you're saying that the Leeds job is the biggest Farke has had, I'm saying at Gladbach Farke was managing in a bigger/fuller stadium that was more often than not packed out!..

Tell me the last time we won something big not including the Championship, because most in the Premiership will say that is nothing, and that means we're not as big as we think we are!..

I don't look at what people have won to make them big, if you do that than there are a lot of clubs about that are a lot bigger than us!..

Farke is not still trying to get used to managing a big club.

He's been here nearly a year, he knows what he is doing, the players all know the score, really dont think this is a factor here.

All top 3 are faltering its not just us.

I think the term we're looking for is Historic Legacy, including European, and the fact that both BMG and Leeds have it, as well as the potential to one day climb to the top with the respective massive support again.
