Daniel Farke stuck to a similar formation to last week’s cup win at Peterborough. Bamford was always going to play after the wonder goal made it two goals in two games for him and Amp partnered Rodon again at the back with Gruev having another chance in midfield.

Tomorrow the Mighty Whites visit one of our bogey teams, Cardiff City; we always seem to struggle away from home against them.

An explosive day in Twitterland as debate rages over Djed Spence’s terminated loan. Reading between the lines of Herr Farke’s press conference comments, it seems The Big Easy was taking it too easy, and Spurs immediately placed him on the transfer list upon his return.

Leeds United being drawn away for the 13th time in succession is a record for the world’s oldest football competition and this time we were at Peterborough United, playing on what was described by Jon Newsome on Radio Leeds as “a pitch that would be good for growing potatoes”.

he FA Cup is still getting it’s shine back and TV are doing a great job with the polishing. It started on Thursday this time and finishes on Monday…then there are replays.

Horror at the Hawthorns! Leeds fell to yet another defeat on the road, after again failing to capitalise on a bright start, again conceding from practically the first danger, and again running painfully out of steam and ideas thereafter. Roll on 2024!

It was a shock to see third choice goalkeeper, Klaeson, playing; Darlow had a dislocated thumb and Mes was still suspended. An even bigger surprise was Bamford making his first start of the season with Piroe dropped to the bench.

I have just listened to Daniel Farke’s pre-match press conference and he always comes up with brilliant answers. He said he wants us to go into this match tomorrow “with the knife between our teeth” in order to regain our momentum.

After the defeat to Preston on Boxing Day the last match of 2023 for Leeds United was a difficult looking away trip at WBA.
