I don't go to as many games as you, but I've seen us much worse over 90 mins and with less belief many times and not just recently. My abiding memory is the last few matches of the prem relegation season showed a team without anything whatsoever. I think they players are still having problems converting to a passing game and without any sort of front line we are going to struggle to score. 17 shots, one on target and they were almost all outside of the box. Hopefully Wood coming back will improve things.
I do agree we have a reverse Midas touch tho', turning gold into crap Is there a better manager out there who is willing to risk their reputation on getting us back challenging for the play offs - I'm not sure. Gus Poyet has a short term contract at AEK, and I think he might be worth a punt? > > I agree that last night was not the worst we've seen over the years, but I > don't think I've ever seen a set of players so devoid of belief. > > Now I'm not one for believing in curses, superstitions or the like, but I'd love > to know what makes a previously decent player so shit as soon as he puts on > a Leeds shirt.
