Even with the Wigan upset, I would rather have our run in than some of the other top teams. I think it’s Notts Forest who have potentially the easiest run of fixtures but would have to check that again.
    Given that,at home we couldn’t beat the 3rd worst team in the division and given our current form, I would suggest that we don’t have a comparatively easy run in, and that it could be a perfectly good argument.

    I don’t suppose for a second that you will answer that!!

    Try and be happy. Sunshine in life is good for you. A lack of it and there’s a tendency to become a grizzly grumpy old bear. Don’t you think?
    Dude those same players who got us that 11 point break is the same but they are stuffed from all that silly training and play style. There is only so much the human body can take. Also, he doesn't make any changes to freshen things up always plays the same players. So to me, it is just that exhaustion and no there is no way in hell we will turn it around.

    Your opinion is valid of course and our current form is worrying. But form is temporary and I believe we can and will turn it around. Not a too shabby argument either Billy

    Maybe I simply don’t want to engage.

    I think a big part of that was that we had a pretty straightforward run of games.

    We all knew that Xmas and thru January would be much more difficult and felt we might not be as good as November had made us think we were.

    We all hope your right and go on and get promotion but the problem we have is the mental scars from last season..it feels like we are repeating the same things this season..and a few of us saw this coming due to poor recruitment pre-season and in the last transfer window.

    You can't blame fans for having concerns..its down to the players now to show some fight/passion/bottle and stop the rot..starting with 3 points on Tuesday

    I suspect that Pacaman, like most "real fans" can blame everyone and anyone who doesn't fulfil the criteria of that hallowed status for having "concerns", but wtf, that's just Leeds for you.

    I agree Jez and that’s my point. The run in is not a bad one, similar to the period you refer to.

    Why should he? His job description for me is to get us promoted. Not bull****ting the media like so many attempt to do. Social media has a lot to answer for. If I was Bielsa I would say even less and would have had it in my contract to say nowt. Whatever he says will be interpreted in which ever way the recipient wants to interpret it. So for you, it would always have a negative stance.
