Remaining Games

Couldn't agree more!

Me too.
I think we are in a minority, though.
Before Saturday's game, lots of supporters were calling for "attack, attack, attack!" - as if there was a realistic possibility of us winning 4-3.
Seriously - with the current toothlessness of our forwards?
Personally, I always thought nil-nil was a much more likely scenario, if we were going to get anything out of the game at all!
Robin, I take it you are thinking of Tosin, Lenihan and Williams as the back three.
What about the wing-backs?
I suppose it's two from Nyambe, Bennett, Bell, Downing and Rankin-Costello.
The flaw is, I have no idea about the best choices for the front two at the moment.

Leeds have struggled all season on breaking teams down. If you go to Elland road and set up with 2 solid banks of 4 and 5 they will struggle to get behind. Injuries severely prohibit us from playing our best defence, but there was nothing stoppingus from going there to get a point, which would have been useful.
Downing who had been really poor vrs Sheff Wed was playing for some reason. But the forwards get blamed for beinh toothless? Don't keep playing Graham, don't keep playing SG up front on his own. Its not that complicated. If Dack ision poor form, drop him. Don't keep playing Downing every week, as we are going nowhere with him. Dont keep playing Bennett, as he was marking Nyambe for the winning goal.
Its ok bemoaning luck, just set up in a way that gives us a chance of getting something. Keep making the same mistakes every week, expect the same results.
Itys pretty simple with the front 2, play another forward with SG. Give it a go.
We should have changed to 3-5-2 about 2 months ago. But we are not flexible. We are rigidly set up, half the team is already picked regardless of form and the system is wrong, not working and is a problem.
Luck, injuries thats out of our control. Playing old, out of form players such as Graham, Bennett and Downing every week is in our own control. If we where playing well, bad luck and injuries would be sidelined. You only every get those things when everything else is going wrong.
