From the next 5 games it would be 3 wins and a draw,10 points for me, Green, Barts, Ayling, Bridcutt and Taylor all in form with what we have and think we would be solid enough to get a result against anyone in this league. It would then be all about Fitness, Form and Fatigue. If as appears Rads is working on the foundations of the club, he must also be aware that he will need to invest in the quality of players needed or he is just wasting his time and money. Do not think what we have now and whatever u23's that might come through combined, will ever be good enough . He will need to bring in that quality at some point. can't see him creating a promotion winning team or a team good enough to stay up on his current plan and levels of player investment. We still need about 8 players by my reckoning

Green barts Taylor and co couldn't keep us in the playoffs last season

Wex. in reply to the Green, Barts etc and playoffs last season. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks, that if we were promoted the dynamics (and cost) of Rads takeover from Cellino changed (Cellino with the extra prem income, was going to stay on ) . As a result of this and the playing squad becoming aware of this, our results collapsed

I thought most people on here did nothing but slag off the birdcage. I see a few people are now almost praising him

Barts was on loan, and over priced, plus injured for the first half of the season. Taylor was out of contract and didn't want to stay in this league. Ayling got injured, and there's nowt that can be done about that. The snake destroyed Bridcutt, and his confidence, plus people got on his back; he didn't want to leave. Green's sale to bench warm was pure idiocy, tho I do recall people shouting for his head too for the first 3 months of last season. nowt stands still, people eventually have to eat their words, or tell others to do so. the game never stays the same, and we move on. Would, could, should proves nowt!

Bridcutt whenever I watched him kept continually passing the ball back to the defence which put them under constant pressure. He seemed a better player when he was on loan, but his form was not so great once on our books.

last year we had a promotion squad but average manger I think it was as simple as that. Managers are so so important that's why david wagner got a lesser team up and monk floundered with a great team, this year TC cost us while Warnock is one of many mangers flying. hopefully Heck with buck that trend and I have faith he will

I won't change lucas. Just so we are clear Monk and bridcutt over the last 10 games were solely responsible for our demise last year. Fact.

boro, wolves, reading, wednesday, bolton, 3 away and 2 at home. can we get 8 points? if we don't its game over, cane we get 10? i think 10 would put us back in the hunt considering the teams around us, bristol haven't got an easy run, its about to get harder for boro and villa and derby are slipping. get 12, and i think that will put us back in the play offs, 12 points from these games and people will fear leeds. there's always 1 or 2 that surge up the league as everybody knows, fulham, derby, huddersfield, bournemouth i can think of as late, leeds turn? who knows. to be honest, i don't think were strong enough to go up compared to some of the squads already up there, bristol are another who play nice football like us but are showing cracks, if anybodys going to win the play offs it will be villa or derby. leeds would be so lucky to go up, and theyd come straight back down, the lime light of the premier league for a season would take our best players, and wed be back down in no time. hecky needs a full year, and the team needs an extra year, the play offs would be good for us financially but leeds aren't ready for the step up, with taylor bartley and green my opinion would be miles different and our position would be too, but such is life and let's hope hecky has an eye for a good talent.

think it's a chance, what is nice is it is possible under the new boss, at least it gives up for next season if not this one

01 Mar 2018 15:25:37
Respect them all but fear no one Squeaky b time for them above No pressure on us whatsoever this year Remember, we are Leeds

01 Mar 2018 18:42:19
We can get 15 points from those 5 games. It’s possible, isn’t it?

01 Mar 2018 19:49:12
Lucas, I think we need at least 17 points from our next five games to get into the play off places! ;)

01 Mar 2018 19:57:08
at least 13 I reckon :)

We the fans roared the lads back from abyss against the titties so I’d say with a bit more of the same and a positive mental attitude anything is achievable. This time last season our form nosedived this season I can see it being the complete opposite, a Phoenix rising from the ashes.
