Leeds failing again ...

It's that time of year again and it's the same old story, thank goodness, well done Forest.

Looking at it objectively it's absolutely bizarre how this is happening again. From their form August-December you'd imagine them running away with it. I wonder if they are pushed too hard in the first half of the season and just can't keep up? It's very weird.

They face Brentford away during the week, they could drop to 4th!

Looks as exciting as ever in the championship, it's a real good race to the top

Think they will come back and still go up. Probably having their wobble at the right time. But it must psychologically have a huge impact on them.

Here's hoping.

Stranger things have happened.

If they do get promoted it will ruin my summer.

That, apparently, is a Bielsa trait. I honestly thought that West Brom and Leeds would be out of the play equation by now but, thankfully, they aren’t. The Leeds forum is not a happy place at the moment which is wonderful; I go on there if I’m ever feeling down and I can thoroughly recommend it, even if you aren’t.

Bielsa bub has a devil for a sideboard.

I love the Championship been glued to radio and PC all day, an Albion fan rang a phone in the other week and said it would be great if Albion won the Championship and were able to hand the Prem place to another team, I knew what he meant.

Leeds are not the great side the media makes them out to be.
How often to they come back in the late minutes to rescue points against average to poor teams?

Whenever I have the misfortune of watching Leeds on tv , Bielsa is always crouching down on the touchline looking like he’s about to take a dump.

Rodleydave · Post by **Rodleydave** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 8:01 pm

If they fail again and Bielsa goes, would like to see Harrison at Burnley and a couple of others. Er assuming we stay up of course.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 8:06 pm

the other week when they came from 2-0 down at home to Millwall to win the game, I thought they'd be fine. They look very wobbly now, again, and they will surely be feeling the psychological burden of what happened last year from now to the finish line.

A very entertaining game which should of produced more goals.

Far better than the tripe that Rovers and Fulham served up.

SGr · Post by **SGr** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 8:31 pm

All too predictable with Bielsa - horribly overrated manager. Pretty much his entire career is built on building an attractive side that ultimately fails at the key moment.

Entertaining bloke to have in the game, but wouldn't touch him with a bargepole

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 8:41 pm

Just been chatting to a very miserable Leeds fan in the pub. He hates this time of year and the LUFC melt down .... he said they are play-offs at best.

It’s fair to say that he’s not won a lot, in a long managerial career, despite many plaudits and admires.

How many games is Phillips into his ban?
They looked toothless without him, in midfield?

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 9:17 pm

Watched the game. Quality was AWFUL - both teams missing open goals, throwing the ball out of play, passing it to each other. Was brilliant to watch

There are 3 certainties in life-Death,taxes,and Leeds post-Xmas slump,and for once the chasers didn''t slip up,any of the top 7 will fancy their chances of automatic promotion now,and Bielsa historically doesn't react well to pressure,big test of their mettle with the next 2 games,let's see what they're made off.

COBBLE · Post by **COBBLE** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 11:41 pm

Most successful teams have a forward with real strength of character. Leeds have got JCB junior. Its like watching a bowl of jellied eels.

MrMeeseeks · Post by **MrMeeseeks** » Sun Feb 09, 2020 10:41 am

Feels like a last chance for a while this for Leeds.

They’d been shite for years before Bielsa turned up and I can’t see him staying if they don’t go up this year.

Hopefully they can then return to the being the mid-table Championship fodder they were before.

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Sun Feb 09, 2020 11:14 am

As much as I'd like to see them fail (AGAIN), I sense that even they can't make a mess of it this year.

They're far too big a Club to be anywhere but at the Top Table

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Sun Feb 09, 2020 11:18 am

Wasn't that long ago UTC posters were blowing smoke up Leeds backsides after they passed Arsenal off the pitch for 45 minutes and lost.

Looks like some Mighty White supporters aren't very happy:

"Only Leeds could have a 15 man squad of footballers unable to kick a ball"

It's not only Leeds but long may it continue

That could apply to half of the Championship, if that team was at it's best and the Prem team was off their game.

Many of the Leeds players know that once they are promoted, it's off to pastures new for them. They are simply not good enough for the Premier League. Stay down and, for the many, the gravy train just keeps on giving.

Sean Dyche has been different, for financial reasons as much as any others, he has shown loyalty to his players/ Most that have left, have done so on their terms.

As usual, the Championship with provide some real excitement for the next three months.
