Your argument doesn't stack up, I would strongly argue that the only way
that you can win is to taste defeat as it highlights any potential
weaknesses that can be eradicated through practice and persistence.
Drive and Passion is not only associated with those that win. Every team in
the football league (PL, FL, etc) have a drive and passion to be the best
that they can be, you can argue that the lower league clubs, (which we are,
don't forget) aren't as good as Manure, Liverpool, etc, but you can't say
that because they don't win week in week out that they have no drive or
passion to better themselves, that would be extremely patronising to those
footballers that work hard but never reach the dizzy heights of the
premiership.
When you are a team like Leeds that is obviously playing to the best of
their ability then a defeat to a team 2 divisions higher can not be viewed
as a disaster, when you consider that it was cup game in a season where we
NEED to gain automatic promotion the removal of another distraction and a
physical drain on playing resources has be a good thing.
Tuesday was a very good exercise in highlighting what Leeds need to do in
order to compete in a higher league.

Yes & you?
What is the relevance?
If you think getting beaten is great then where is the passion & drive?
In the old days defeat was a disaster no matter what.
