After 34 games last season we had 61 points and still didn't make the play offs. I know we had a terrible finish last season but I think this season is over as far as promotion is concerned. Time to blood some of the young'ns maybe?

The finish to last season was beyond terrible. Promotion very much still a possibility as I see it. Not a probability, but definitely a possibility.

We're 5 points from the top 6 with 12 games left, its far from over so stop being bloody negative.

It is over but aren't points money. So last couple of games try a few youngsters but not until.

George, they've already used all their fingers up for the mistakes he's made this season, they're half way through their toes now!

felix is not good enough for this league, and certainly not the step up, for a goal keeper who punches 2, fumbles 4, makes one great save, and cocks up 3 in every 10 shots on goal, that's not good enough. green also wouldn't have been good enough, i think first 3 things on you rlist for transfers in summer are gk cb and lb, ironic how at the start of this season we all said the same things. on the other hand lasogga, saiz, alioski, forshaw, ekuban have all been good enough players to add to the squad to keep us ticking over. I don't see why based on a bad run of form you would rule us out of the play offs, considering we've just got 5 points from 3 very tough games on paper. bottom line is that they've got work to do, if i'm being honest and i didn't support leeds i'd say we have no chance but i do support leeds and that's the whole point is that i get behind the team, not on their backs. there are a lot of players we need to shift on, and a lot of players we must keep, but overall, with hecky in charge, the foundations are being laid now to do it in our 100th year, if not this year.

completely agree with you Samo, we are *only* 5 points back and plenty left to play for this season. One of those in the playoffs are bound to hit a slump, some teams will drop points against each other and we may well take points off others in and around us. Its a cliche but we need to focus on one game at a time and see where that gets us rather than giving up and saying we can't do it this season. this could be the start of a run and if we go on one there is no saying where it will end up. With 12 to go last year we only won 3, lost 4 and drew the rest dropping 21 points to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. There are 36 points up for grabs so don't get despondent just yet - yes, we have some tough teams to come but we will need to beat the best to win the playoffs anyway otherwise we might as well not be in them.

We will need to do better than 37% possession at home to catch 5 points back

Agree0 Disagree2

26 Feb 2018 18:33:56
so we need to pick up two wins where a top six team lose, ok not easy but how is it over? team lose all the time, we only need a top six team to do what we did last season and we could be in the mix. have to keep the faith

Message to George and others. O'Kane imo is a good midfielder. Played well start of season but granted not so well lately but that doesn't mean he can't do a good job for us. If fans get on players backs it is always to the detriment of team. Viera after a good season last year has been poor this term but not too many are getting on his back. Maybe it's because he's home grown?

Cooper another getting stick. Ok he makes mistakes, too many to be fair, but he's a trier and doesn't hide when the going is tough. Let's stop getting on players backs and support them for the dozen games and who knows. MOT

They all wanted lassy hanging 2 months ago Cork. Short memories Leeds fans I'm afraid

25 Feb 2018 20:19:57
Cork You are right. RV does get a pass from me. He gets a pass because he's young and homegrown. I'm biased like that. What irritates me with Okane is he puts himself in the media spotlight a lot with his pretty humanist wife nonsense yet he's not playing well. In my book, you can be on social media often as you like provided you are in form. Otherwise, be quiet and work on your game. As for Lassie, you need to direct your comments to Wex not me. All I've said he just needed to lose a bit of timber and we have a player. That's what happened. Notts said it best. Sometimes fans need to voice their concerns in order for things to change. Example crestgate. Leeds fans are best in world. Knowledgeable, articulate and funny. Ignore and marginalize them at your peril. #Leedsfansbestinworld

Hold my hands up George lassoga has improved immensely. Hopefully he keeps it up

Agree8 Disagree0

25 Feb 2018 20:57:16
got stick for praising lassoga. same with wood i seem to remember if only all leeds fans would listen to good old Bermo as I tell the wife daily I am never wrong. With regards to our MF, okane is decent and can play well but think he gets lost, needs someone like forshaw next to him to get the most from him and to show his class. Veria had poor form but is young and will improve and form will pick up as often happens with players of young age. the one who baffles me is phillips, yes the lad does have some quality on the ball but not enough quality really and he is too slow, not mobile enough, doesn't do enough. I would be happy is phillips never plays for leeds again as he is not good enough, sadly the other one for me is roofe, i have stuck up for roofe in past and said he has something, he has some qaulity but again not enough and doesn't do enough. is the last game saiz touched the ball more in 90 seconds than roofe did in the previous 70 minutes. again be happy if he never plays for us again, bit like doukara not a terrbile player but we need better if going to go up

We are all entitled to our opinions good or bad, nobody on here is an expert and nobody should apologise for what they post! What makes us Leeds fans different to others is that we dare to dream and we say it out loud, we make no excuses for bad games and we don’t excuse any player that fails to show up on match day! George your comments are great, Wex, just as good and Corkwhite you are a true honest poster, we wouldn’t be proper Leeds fans if we didn’t moan nor would we be true if we all watched through yellow, white and blue glasses, nobody on here should make excuses for a from the heart opinion.

Think we can do Wolves Wex. Come to think of it we can do anyone without calamity defending. There lies our problem.

25 Feb 2018 19:35:25
92 I can only see another 19 points in our future for this season finishing off on a grand total of 68. That's 4 points off where we need to be in my opinion. 7th or 8th finish for us.

Agree8 Disagree1

25 Feb 2018 19:43:55
Cork Exactly. How do you hope to beat Wolves, Fulham and Villa with calamity defending? Wiedwald and Cooper. Enough said. #it'sover

think there's 24 points available there if we play like we have in last 2 games. on a realistic level, a big win on friday night is season changing and peopel will start to turn heads again, and then wolves on wednesday becomes a huge game for both. 5 points from our last 3 against teams all higher than us in the league is not a poor display at all imo. think based on those games, and if things remain the way they are with suspension, injuries etc, a 4411 with consistency throughout could see us pick up 20-24 points. qpr, sunderland, barnsley, norwich, bolton, wednesday, reading could all be games that we win. a point against boro and a point against preston makes 23 points. think we will get beat by wolves, villa, and fulham, fulham i fear the most as its away from home. who knows we've all seen what momentum does for this team.
