    I'm going to do better than just keeping my fingers crossed barrie, we need to be pro-active. I'm going to contact the Burnley Bus Company, see if they have any spare double-deckers.

    Leeds can in peace - we played well against you in a way we haven’t really done this season.

    Think you have a core of good players and if they can stay fit and you get back to how you played at the start of the season you should be okay - there are some very average teams in the next 7 spots above you.

    You need to get back to being hard to play against and get the ball to Lennon, Cornet and McNeil as much as possible. If Wood had scored early on then it could have been a very different game.

    What about your lads Hopeless, you've pulled away from the dregs in the bottom four, can you stay clear or could you get dragged back in ?

    We are Leeds so we can fall apart very easily.

    If we can avoid injuries and Covid then hopefully we can kick on. Klich has been off form until recently and played well against you. Dallas is finding form and Koch if he stays fit looks a good pairing with Llorente.

    Ideally we can get another couple of wins in the next four games and pull a little bit clearer but I think we will be looking over our shoulders all season.

    We still have some big players for us out - Phillips, Rodrigo and Bamford and others like Shackleton and Struijk.

    Normally teams that drop down after the new year and that looks like Watford and Everton but some of the others aren’t great either - Brentford have injuries too.

    Foreshaw and Meslier have been immense for us.

    To be honest I didn't expect you to struggle this year, middle table security no problem, but you just never know do you, funny old game football.

    The board and football coaching team took a calculated gamble that nearly backfired.

    They invested in youth and didn’t strengthen up front or in midfield which were obvious weaknesses.

    If Foreshaw hadn’t been as good as he has been on return from injury we would be screwed.

    We need 6 points out of the next 5 games and then I can breathe a little more easily. If we take those off Newcastle and Everton it may do you a favour.

    It’s all well and good getting”favours “ from other clubs, but ultimately you have to do it yourself.

    Unfortunately if we don't improve I can't see us getting any points from our next four league matches whatsoever as the opponents are Leicester, Arsenal. Manchester United and Liverpool, especially with having to play without Cornet.

    I am still hoping that we can improve our starting eleven between now and the end of January but it is not looking hopeful as we are showing no urgency in that task. Hopefully Alan Pace may have some irons in the fire we don't know about as yet.

    If I could dream then a certain Mr. Bale from Real Madrid would be a good replacement for JBG.

    We need to stop shipping stupid goals for a start. Every time the opponent scores we need to score two at least to win, assuming they only score once. Unfortunately we seem to specialise in creating our own demise. Scoring more than one for us at the moment is a big ask.

    Sammy I think that keeping the ball is our biggest problem, and hoof ball is not the answer.
