Guts guys, if at the start of the season we had been offered 3 points from two games against Palace we would have taken it. They are on a rich vein of form having been beaten 3 times in 21 games and one of those was us at their place... Good things come to those who have faith.. Get behind the boys and don't worry, we may be nervous but Sheffield are scared. Watford are a bigger threat to us..

Think there was a few worse.. Losing to a very average Ipswich, both games against Brighton etc, want me to go on? Second is still very much witin reach though.. The boys will get an ass chewing despite the public support from KB.

Was at the game last night and was gutted, although it was good to see Beckford make his debut, he certainly doesn't look out of place on the pitch, I hope he does well for us. Was listening to him interviewed on Radio Leeds while trying to battle out of the Elland Road car park, and he a totally top bloke, probably the most passionate player for Leeds I have ever heard. I hope he's good enough and get to play his part in our attempt to be promoted this year. Even though we are all disappointed, even the worst case scenario should see us in the play-offs, and i for one would have taken that at the start of the season.

I'm not happy with Kevin Blackwell's comments about last nights game. He gave far to much praise to our grossly underperforming players, who let themselves down as well as all of us. They have played well below par for far too many games and Blackwell compleatly ignors all the bad points where improvements are needed. Basically Blackwell is letting the players get away with woeful performances, praising them on the 10 minutes of football that they actually played decent as opposed to concentrating on the 80 minutes when they played awfully, createated no chances and threw the game away. This happens all the time, after the Norwich game, and the Coventry game Blackwell said we did well to get draws which is true but only because we played woefully for at least 45 minutes in each of those games. We need to be going in the games trying to win them, not conent with only creating chances right at the end of the match to try for a goal after conceading during lacklustre performances for the majority of the game. KB should get it into the players underachiving heads that they actutally have to play freaking well to win games and to get promoted for 90 minutes. So frustrating! I don't think KB copes well when we draw badly or lose, he's far too forgiving. Mistakes now are incredibly costly, it's almost as if a goal in this part of the season is worth twice as much and we've seemed unable to get a goal from open play in the past two games.      please sort it out NOW Leeds before it is too late................................ |

I don't think KB copes well when we draw badly or lose, he's far too forgiving.... To be honest mate, I wouldn't read too much into what Blackwell says publicly. He is trying to retain a united front in front of the press and media, but behind closed doors I am sure he is speaking his mind bluntly to the players. Kev is no fool and I'm sure he is as disappointed with our results as much as we are and will do his utmost to instill his wishes into the players heads without totally undermining any confidence issues that are starting to creep in. Blackwell usually comes across in the media in exactly the same way you describe, but in the dressing room and at Thorpe Arch he couldn't be further from his public persona. While I've obviously not been privy to dressing room dressing downs myself, I have spoken to people in the know at the club, (I live about 2 miles from the Leeds Academy and training complex), who assure me that Blackwell can give the hairdryer treatment as much as the next manager. |

Well I hope so, because the players need to know that performances like that just won't do.

we weren't even that bad against Palace on Tuesday, we didnt deserve to win, we didnt deserve to lose, i was absolutely gutted, i wouldn't say we're out of the race for automatic, 7 games to go and 4 points difference....... everyone at the start of the season would have been happy with playoffs, whats changed?

You have a helluva job to get us up now........

Mathematically obviously we are still in the race for 2nd place... realistically we cannot afford to drop another point.
