Not really. I can't accept anything apart from winning. Anything apart from promotion is a failure. Not realistic or objective? Right. But which objective realistic person would love and support Leeds United over 63 years? I wish that I could be like you. Michael. Sent from my iPhone Dr

Once again we score 3 at home and fail to win  (Pompey / Preston) and we do now go into games thinking that we need at least 2 goals to have a chance of winning. Yes it is not to everyones taste, but me I am loving it (on one level). Not sure who Rich is going to blame for the goals but for me

quickly catching up the goal machine that is Luciano Becchio. 12 in 28 for Gradel and 15 in 32 for Becchio. Makes the strikers scoring rate look a bit ordinary really No Rich, it doesn't. Get your facts right please! Asides from your deep hatred of the man and ignoring his qualities/weaknesses

Tim, You're quoting career stats at the highest level. Becchio for Leeds:  52 in 138 - so it's nearer 1 in 3 than 1 in 2 and also this has been at lower levels. and if we're taking his career as a whole , before Leeds (according to Wiki) was 38 goals in 129 , that's playing for lower

So, we've probably escaped relegation. Most of us would have taken that at the start of the season. I would! But now we're being tempted with a play off place or even at a push, automatic promotion, the defence bugs me too. It's so frustrating! Is that it then? We've done well, stayed up, might

I don’t think any of us can grasp this league. We are expecting it to be black and white and logical. We expect all eleven to play well all the time and not make mistakes! Its logical 6th place unbeaten in a while versus little club mid table Barnsley. These are 2nd/3rd division players,

It has been an excellent season. And I'm sure that at the start of it, everyone on here would have been delighted if offered 6th place at this stage. But by now we've all realised that in actual fact there aren't many (if any) teams in this division that are significantly better than us. So why

In some ways we had this in league 1. When we started to slip during the cup run it was fairly apparently that most of these players weren’t good enough for the championship so what motivation did they have to get over the finish line, a season of struggle, a replacement coming in??? But,
