Leeds United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2024/25

A draw a great result. God we are bang average. Fast forward to the Brighton match please. Only way we get a point in the next 3 games is if we park the bus.

Gotta say that I like Palace. Despite Gallagher's diving and Zaha's histronics they're a likeable bunch. Great structure, love their attacking style and defensively very good. We hardly got a sniff. Zaha for me was also man of the match.

Kudos to Marsch for putting both Greenwood and Gelhardt on to have a go at them but I can't fathom why we created so few chances with all our attacking talent. They were defensively good, but not THAT good. We still need a No. 10 alongside Kalvin to unlock defences. Klich and Koch are not the long-term answer there.

relegation odds

5/6 Everton

6/4 Burnley

9/2 Leeds

One thing that has me thinking we'll stay up is just how bad Everton are. They are 5 points behind us. And in their last 6 games, they have 7 points. We have 11. We've scored 9 and conceded 7. Them, 6 & 8.

We both have Chelsea, Brentford and Arsenal.

We have City & Brighton

They have Leicester, Watford & Palace.

I dont want to be too optimistic but I dont see where they make up 5 points on us. We are assuming they will win away at Watford. They have the worst away record in the league. They have won one game away from home and it was in August vs Brighton, back when they were flying.

Not so old Whiterebel.

I remember 27th April 1974 , we beat QPR to win the old division 1 from Liverpool.

Oddly, I've probably enjoyed the last three or four years more than the early seventies, where we came second so many times.

Didn't realise we have to type louder so that NeedMoreGears and whiterebel can read the messages !!! Noted

1970 ! I didnt stop crying for about two weeks!

1975 was the the bad one for me. Never got over that.

Absolutely, but all of those (bar Sunderland) are only familiar to me from The Glory Years VHS tape. I started supporting Leeds in '73 so the Sunderland defeat was a kind of blur for a 7-year-old not fully invested in the team. The next year was obviously great but '75 was a repeated kick in the groin. I couldn't understand how the ref could miss two penalties and then disallow Lorimer's goal. Lots of tears and rage and no defeat since has matched the sheer pain of that evening.

.

Yep, that's a poor haul but don't forget the two Fairs/UEFA Cups.

And though the damage to the stadium was senseless I remember feeling at the time that I'd like to have been there to participate in it. In my defence I was only nine years old.

We'll have European football back someday.

Reading a bit there on Drameh, wonder will he be brought back in to the fold in the summer. Ayling is only 30 so might not be put our to pasture yet. Some dont like him I know, but he is a huge part of the team and I think his impact would only be seen when he is out (much like Cooper).

Drameh is getting great reviews, nominated as player of the year for Cardiff I think, despite only being there since January. And it was a coup when we got him from Fulham, would like to see him get a lot of game time next season.

Yup! Just about under that in fairness. Started following Leeds cos brother supported Man Utd, couldn't be like him. I ended up with a raw deal (almost followed Everton too cos had been to Goodison Park).

haha, exact same, 2 older brothers followed utd and liverpool. Still happy i followed leeds tbh.

Summerville out for the season, training incident last weekend. Murderball may be gone but…….

always disliked watford

God damn it, Burnley could win this yet, Watford on the ropes big time

Shocking defending for the first goal. Watford look knackered.
