One man can't make a team, someone recently suggested 4 or 5 wins would be enough to see us safe, well that was one opportunity sagged up.

One man can't make a team, someone recently suggested 4 or 5 wins would be enough to see us safe, well that was one opportunity sagged up.
Don’t think we are physically tired as the players we still running late in the game.
We have a squad that is small and struggling to cope with the injuries and lack of depth and ...
The pitch was an absolute disgrace- the ball had to be forced and too many players lost their footing.
Brighton played classic park the bus TG en break and played it well. That seems to work better on that pitch too.
FFS this was a HOME game, on a pitch the players SHOULD have been accustomed to. The fact that most PL players, irrespective of club, have NOT been accustomed to playing on a ploughed field, is one factor that didn't exactly help us, but Brighton clearly adapted better than we did!
A small squad, and injuries to be coped with, isn't unique to clubs outside the top 8 or so PL clubs, ask Stevie, or Sean, or Mr Potter FFS! They are beginning to grind out results (or at least acceptable performances, even if they lose, (look at Fulham, with 10 men for most of the match, losing to a single goal against Chelsea)), whereas we lose and do so with our tails tucked between our legs. Just as well we had a good start, because right now we are relegation fodder and I didn't think I would have to say that after the first few games
The weird thing I seem to have noticed is that you can tell within ten minutes whether we are going to play like world beaters or meat beaters.
I don’t recall any previous Leeds teams showing such extremes of hot or cold.
Been effectively said elsewhere, but you can’t play tidy passing football on a council allotment.
Oh well. We shall see...
