Michael, I agree. We are paying the price for not investing in a reliable goal scorer (and also, weirdly, for not seeming to care about using corners to our advantage). Play-off defeat to Derby again, anyone? Cheers! Sean

After todays result, I am beginning to have doubts. It looks like Brentford plus one. We have looked very iffy since the break. We are not showing the panache and belief I expect from a team driving for promotion. We can miss out yet again. Sorry, but once bitten twice shy. We have been more than bitten once. We've been savaged.

John, read Social media if you want to find plenty of examples of negative over reaction, just as there was the opposite after we beat the 3rd team in the league, but I'm sure you already knew that. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I'm entitled to my opinion on their opinions. The fact is that it's entirely in our hands, we are top we have a top manager who is bringing the best out of a bunch of players many of whom were bang average 2 years ago or cast offs from Premier league (Harrison & White). The moans on the list are, in my opinion, the very same as were made about our teams since I joined the list in the mid nineties Sent from my Mobile. ________________________________ From: Leedslist <leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org> on behalf of John Lee via Leedslist <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 1, 2020 7:01:23 PM To: Ed Morrish <edmorr...@gmail.com> Cc: Leeds List <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Subject: Re: [LU] I don't know why I bother, but.......... Richard - could you paste the link to the survey please, you know, the one you’ve just referenced re the attitude of Leeds fans? Or was it just a daft comment with you pretending to have a clue? Yes, we have a reasonably easy run-in, but just drew with the league’s bottom team, so how easy will it be for a side struggling to score? Rob H ‘best footballing side for over 40 years’ - what, better than when we won Div 1, or the season before, when the 4th place saw us play some staggering football, or better than the Kewell/O’Leary era and the Champions League?
