One of the curiosities around a recent sense that Daniel Farke's team has become a bit more fun is how that has depended on Leeds playing a bit more worse. It's not a coincidence that this match with Millwall ended 2-0, the tenth 2-0 win of the season.
Sometimes all the FA Cup becomes is a game against Millwall, again, too soon. But football matches still form their own entities and so the players picked to play could take to the pitch with heroics in mind.
I'm not sure the players were as sanguine as Daniel Farke. They are the ones on the pitch feeling the purgatory, and while it might be their own fault, that was always the point of purgatory anyway.
