Jeez, its gonna be a long week.

If we don't get anything from the next couple of games, the season has passed us by and we might as well look to shaping the squad for next season.

However I am going to be optimistic, win the next 2-3 games and we are right back in it. I think it is more of an advantage for a team to chase down a top 6 finish than it is to defend it. It could also be that now the team is further down the table they may just put in better performance and play with more freedom. Also got a few lads coming back into the side that will have a positive impact.

Far to early to lose the faith yet when its still mathematically possible. One of the beauties of football and Leeds, just about anything can happen!

Is this realistic, who care's, got to be more fun than being all doomy & gloomy

Certainly we did a poor job of defending the position last time around.

Call me over optimistic here, but how do any of you know this season is dead as far as 6th is concerned?

I'm more concerned about where the 9 or so points we need to be mathematically safe are going to come from !!! (only joking, sort of...........)

15 games to go..could win 10/11 games and it still not be enough.

Nah lads..seasons done and dusted..may as well make sure we get past 50 points then blood a few of the young-uns and lets see if they can make the step up.

Enjoyed last season a lot more than this even tho it ended the way it did but for a long time under Monk it looked like we were onto summat.

Tell ya what folks, I'm gonna keep believing until the maths says we can't, or after game 40, which ever negative happens first, but if after game 40 we are still in with a good shout, THEN IT'S PROMOTION ALL THE WAY BABY YEAH!!!!

Any new player, manager, owner that takes up the baton at Leeds, I will back them until its clear it's not working.

So am pro AR at moment, he also seems a well connected and shrewd operator but am thinking:

Fair do's gets the ground back and in a way that if we ever go tits up, and as I understand it GFH who are still getting payments would not be able to make a claim on the ground.

He spent moderate increases on transfers/wages on 1st team, tho am thinking a McGrath/Warnock type would have made a better fist of.

He has spent a fair bit on scouting network and u23, admittedly it needed it after MC stripped it back. But if your aiming for top 6 year 1 on a tightish budget it seems we haven't prioritised the 1st team as well as we could have.

Its all kinda positive but for a savvy businessman, he seems on a learning curve

M.O.T.

here fella , we are in freefall at the present time , lose a few more bristol, derby, middlesbrough, wolves, then suddenly the bums will start to twitch a bit lol, far more chance of a relegation struggle , than challenging the top six , thats for sure.

As much as your posts are doom and gloom Marley there is unfortunately a large sense of realism in them, and looking at our next 5/6 games it doesn't look promising......please Leeds win on Sunday!

i have always been realistic fella lol , this club never fails to let you down on a regular basis , even in the so called glory years under revie, we finished runners up or second, far more times than actually winning anything , any guy who supports leeds over the age of 45 -50 as to have the skin of a rhinoceros lol

Yeah, trying not to think about it too much just yet, but if we're going into the Bolton game still needing three wins.........

Nah b0ll0cks, Hecky is going to sort it out :-)
