To me , and I suspect 99% of those who go to games, the paragraph from RIch (below) sums it all up.Yes we are in a poor Division (one that should be easy(ish) to get out of for a team of our stature) Yes we are in a play off position. Yes there are other teams just as bad or worse than us BUT there is nothing there at the moment, we are a ghost club, a club and supporters going through the motions.Unlike Rich I always try and defend the players and the team as a whole - to me it is simple Leeds players- heroes, non Leeds players - villains.I like to think that I have kept most of my optimism over the last hard years but it has all but evaporated now. The mood around the place seems to me worse than the 2 relegation seasons, yes, it really is that bad. It may be that SG is a little unfortunate at the moment in that our away form is very good and it is our home form that is shocking. Maybe if it were the other way round things would appear better.The lad who sits in front of me actually sent a letter to Grayson after the Barnsley defeat - the one and only time in his 20+ years as a ST holder that he has been pushed into doing so, complaining about the lack of passion on the pitch.Whether it is Bates, over zealous stewards, perceived -real?- lack of investment, sterile atmosphere in modern grounds, expensive prices, weariness at spending so long out of the top flight or some other reason or a culmination of them all, but whatever, things are bad at ER, as bad as I can ever remember and I have been going since 1975 and had a ST since 1987-88. Yes things ARE really that bad.So I will finish this rant as I started it - read below what RIch has said and believe that that is the general consensus of the match going public at ER !!Dave
