We really are in big trouble! Usually we limp into Christmas with enough points to be able to withstand a poor second half of the season - that is the experience of the last 5 or 7 seasons anyhow; I cannot remember any further back with any great clarity.
This season, the rot has started early! ALARM BELLS SHOULD BE RINGING!!!!! The upshot, I believe we are in real relegation trouble. Where is next win going to come from? Who cares about the League Cup! I certainly don't! No one is scared or us any more, especially at Elland Road. Leeds/Watford 1-6 FFS! I've been supporting Leeds for over 35 years now and have never been at a lower ebb and that includes the many dark years of the 80s in this division. Soccer has changed and not for the better. I look at the Premier League almost in the same way that my daughter looks at WWE. Pure entertainment. Not do or die for, any more. Just another media channel to be consumed but not to be cared about in any meaningful way. They don't care; why should we? I will always be a Leeds United fan but I simply do not care any more what happens to us/them. Why should I allow my mood be dictated by an organisation that absolutely no interest in its fan other than as income streams. I will not go and see them again until Bates is gone and true light shines on the club again. Saying that, are any white knights riding to our supposed rescue going to be any better than what is already in situ? Look at all the other clubs around the UK, and further afield, which are being mercilessly plundered as you would a failing business. Bates is just more effective at "running" Leeds United than most others in similar positions in other clubs. Fans must vote with their feet for this to start to change. The problem is that many fans are too deeply attached to be able to disconnect themselves, which is why we continue to be taken advantage of. Someone will eventually shout stop and the rest will listen. The problem is that it will probably be too late.
