  1. Absolute quality ... a poor man's Wes
  2. It stinks of entitlement ... a classic situation of a fan base that's tasted recent success and expects the good times to be forever rolling - we more than most should know that the Championship doesn't work like that. I never boo the manager because I always assume that they know FAR more than I do about the physical & mental state of the players that they work alongside every day and they're doing their very best to win. I may not want them to be running the show any more but I haven't ever booed ... they are part of MY club ... they're on MY side. Considering that most fans polled put us outside the playoffs before the season started I think we should be singing Wagner's praises to be fair. I fully agree with his comments about respect, trust and support.
  3. He also said we were the best side they've seen at Elland Road so ...
  4. He looks like an incredibly exciting prospect.
  5. Right, drop Kenny back between Ben & Shane and cling on for dear life!
  6. You would imagine that Knapper is itching to bring in a couple of new faces that he's had up his sleeves for months. Rather than numbers I'm more intrigued by what positions he'll prioritise. We are utterly threadbare in the CDM position but Wagner doesn't play with one. Personally, I would love to see a young but hungry & gifted striker loaned in to bring off the bench. Someone to play with no fear - like we had with Cody and Oli Johnson. Someone green and raw that we can all get behind.
  7. With Sargent back and a genius signing or two in January I wouldn't write us off but I think Watford, Boro and Coventry are in the same boat. Leicester Southampton ................................ Ipswich Leeds WBA ??? ................................
  8. I adored Webber until: 1) he broke what Farkeball had matured into during the summer following our 2nd promotion - by choosing not to replace Skipp & Buendia and trying to convert us into a counter attacking side (Tzolis, Sargent & Rashica). We should've just kept yoyoing and improved millimetre by millimetre. 2) he went to war with the local media for no good reason and hasn't communicated candidly with the fans since. Overall, I'm glad he was hired - the Farke years were special - but it was sad and unnecessary to see how sour, muddled and angsty things became.
  9. That was a special time for sure wasn't it? I'll always remember how chuffed I was when we survived that Premier League season under Paul having started the journey in League One! We played Villa off the pitch at Carrow Road in his last game. It hurt a lot when he left - such a shame ... what could've been - for him and us???
  10. Perhaps abroad convincing the next Daniel Farke to take up the hot seat here - or hiding away from the insulting chants from the Barclay???!
  11. Do managers resign these days? Although, saying that ... didn't he walk away from the Terriers?
  12. How much would you bet that the next manager starts with Batth and he becomes the first name on the team sheet?!
  13. A fascinating thread 👏. For me, I will cherish two trophy lifts, 'all the Germans', Buendia&Pukki, Man City at Carrow Road and Farkeball ... BUT I will forever curse the man for getting bored with his own project and trying to adapt the ideology part way through. Even though the media (and many fans) were criticising the club for its lack of ambition (inability to look even close to surviving in the top tier after each promotion) he should've been strong enough to keep beating the drum that triggered and drove the early steps of the Webberlution - accepting short term pain for long term gain. The initial plan was to yo yo relentlessly, under Farke, until we eventually stuck (ignoring the noise of critics) OR prove that you truly couldn't stick without a billionaire DESPITE having a crystal clear vision, style of play, top notch Academy, shrewd scouting and shiny facilities. He bottled it when he started to lose interest and broke Farkeball (and Farke) when Skipp & Emi weren't replaced and we tried to become a counter attacking side over night (signing Tzolis & Rashica). He tried to rush things so that he could exit a completed job (Premier League security) way sooner than reality dictated. Once Farke was knifed the whole project lost its soul, focus and effectiveness and the Great Unravelling began.
