Half of me is confident. They're poor, we're at home and played pretty well at home this season. The other half is, Paquetta, Bowen and Summerville are more than capable of doing a number on us.

you see Lighty, I do listen to you sometimes

Kinda is a must win as we have two tricky away games aftewards including our traditional beating at Brighton. Then we have Villa followed by a hellish run of Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea in a row.

It's a definite watershed moment in our season where nothing less than 3 points for Leeds will give our owners ammunition to fire DF and replace with? And that's my concern. Our owners do not fill me with much confidence in replacing Farke either speedily or with a candidate that is any better so back to the stick or twist debate.

I personally think Farke will get a stay of execution with a victory on Friday night but will need at least a point from Brighton and Forest away to avoid the chop before the international break.

I'll go Leeds 3 West Ham 1

One match ban enabled

So if we lose Friday, are we all consigned to relegation

If you could pick a side to play at the moment it would be West Ham. Simply have to win it to give ourselves some breathing space.

If we go into those fixtures in late November/early December in the bottom 3 the gloom will really descend.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we win, I think it’s a nail in their coffin. If we lose, I think we may have to be looking at opening our coffin. If we go behind that 1 point per game threshold, that many feel we need to be ahead of, going into the run of fixtures we have before Xmas, could be troublesome to say the least.
The start we made was encouraging…losing back to back games against relegation fodder and rivals will be very concerning. Obviously it’s still early, and lots of games to play, but clearly Farke seems to be on a short leash with many.

Must win. No other result passes the smell test.

More so, this is a must win for Farke. He's on thin ice.

We should win. Felt the same about Burnley though.

Point won't kill us. A loss should be the end of DF.

Ampadu and Struijk have had some illness and missed training. This could be the opportunity to bring in Bijol.

^^^

If Bijol doesn't get some level of playing time Friday,
I doubt he ever will. Farke is dug in as he's ever been.

Me personally, I'd like to play to our strengths, a back 3.
With wing backs. Bijol the big signing in the middle CB.
Joe right of him, Pascal to the left. Bogle and Guds
flying down the wings. Probably get Perri back in.

Figure the rest out from there. It won't happen though.

Faith, is this a Leeds v West Ham thing or a Farke out?..

I find it funny the way people always say Farke out, it sort of sounds no different to last season, but hey, the team are playing good football so surely its up to the team Farke puts out to find that bit more and do whats expected of them!..

Football Manager 🤦🤦🤦

Farke is quite safe I think. If we do lose at home then we are certainly in a dog fight (which many expected anyway).

Unless we can get someone like Klopp I wouldn’t bother.
