The German coach made six changes to his side for the match and it slightly backfired as he would not have wanted to play another match.
One decision Farke made was to play Joel Piroe in front of Georginio Rutter ahead of Patrick Bamford. However, someone was not impressed with the forward’s performance.
Speaking on BBC Radio Leeds post-match, Aidy White believes the 24-year-old attacker went “missing” for most of the game.
The former Leeds star said about Piroe: “He had a good chance actually towards the end to get it 2-1, made a good contact but couldn’t quite get it into the corner.
For me, he was a little bit missing and didn’t have a huge effect on the game.
“People seem to comment he goes drifting but then has his moments, but today he drifted a little bit but I didn’t see much spark. A little bit disappointing to see.
The draw for the fifth round has now been made — after some crowd trouble at the West Brom versus Wolves match delayed things briefly — and our name, alongside Villa’s, was picked to play a home game against either Leeds United or Plymouth Argyle.
With four fourth round ties heading to replay, three underway as we speak, and one still to come tomorrow night, there are a few more ORs and permutations than usual, including both sides of our matchup.
Leeds and Plymouth played out a 1-1 draw yesterday at Elland Road. Their replay is not yet scheduled; ours is set for February 7 (Wednesday, 8pm local).
The fifth round will be played the week of February 26. The match-ups, in full, are:
Luton Town vs. Manchester City
Sheffield Wednesday OR Coventry City vs. Maidstone United
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Brighton & Hove Albion
Bristol City vs. Nottingham Forest vs. Newport County OR Manchester United
Liverpool OR Norwich City vs. Watford OR Southampton
