My Mum was a genius. 6 years schooling at Lovell Road. One of thing she said was never show a fool a half-finished job. I am referring to the principle - not your intelligence. The principle is that we are a half finished job

I harped on about it in December, that we should have got Jermain Defoe in on loan, just to throw on for half an hour if we weren't getting goals. It seemed (to me) THE most sensible option, and I stick by the theory that he would have bagged us goals. The other thing that has pissed me off all season is our inability to keep a clean sheet. Sheff Utd, at home, were a pub team, but a very well organised one. Had we scored early on, I genuinely think we'd have got 3. But we didn't, and yet again we have the ability to switch off, against average teams, and concede. What have they done in 2019? Kept FOURTEEN clean sheets! And fair play to them for that, we've kept 6! I think Bielsa is brilliant and has done an amazing job with average players, but this is Leeds United and we just know we WON'T win the play offs! I think Bielsa's weak point is it's his way or the highway and whilst he is, unquestionably, a genius of a coach - His stubbornness (Or possibly the clubs lack of willingness to spend?) meant we didn't get The Daniel James and a Defoe type in to boost us, when we all saw it was starting to wobble. Saving grace to me is the dichotomy of promotion to the premier league v staying in the championship. What is there to look forward to for Norwich and Sheff Utd next season now? At best 15th/16th/17th? More likely bottom 3 and defeat after defeat after defeat! Or a Championship season of more wins than defeats, an enthused crowd and something to look forward to every weekend! Maybe this IS the best league in the World!
