The closer we get to the business end of the season, the more every result counts – and results like yesterday's are hard to take. As fans, being in the helpless position we are, it's all too easy to easy to berate players and manager alike. I'm often guilty of this myself, usually in the heat of the moment, when passions are high and expectations have suddenly been dashed. But in the cool light of day, I realise that negativity serves only to diminish our chances of promotion and create a tension that inevitably transmits to the players, and which is reflected in their performance. I believe we will be promoted, I have to believe that, just as the players and the manager have to believe that – otherwise what exactly is the point of supporting this great team of ours?
I believe that if we fans can show more positivity than negativity from now till the end of the season, we can play a part in achieving a momentous moment in history.

Whilst I still believe you'll get over the line, genuine question...are you gonna be absolutely fecked if you don't? Seen something that said your chairman is putting in a million a month already, and given you have to spend £15M on Costa no matter what happens, would failure to get promoted put you guys proper in the sh-t?

Cold light of the day after. And one thing I know is true:
Bamford is a fooking waste of time and effort. Garbage.
This bang average player is also our highest paid. It's
embarrassing how often the PB excuse brigade trot out and defend him. I'm bookmarking everything. Because if we do fail, it'll be down to his chronic miss rate.
And Bielsa fooked up not having Kev on the bench. It's laughable his excuse for not having him on the bench yesterday. Moronic. Bamford with no competition behind him is basically a chocolate fire guard.

Don't do it to yourself.
2 of the last 3 seasons, we have somehow managed to fall away at the end of the season (for 2nd last year and 6th 3 season ago).
We've conceded 17 goals in the last 9 games, won twice in that time. Signs are there we are going to mess it up again.

Given he's played lately for RB Leipzig, he'd be absolutely fine on our bench. JKA has pace and skill, more direct, something we certainly need as our attacking play is very predictable and one dimensional. We don't score any from pieces, barely any one on one's or from outside the box (last few have been deflections)

You can see that so many Leeds fans can’t.
We’re in big trouble if we don’t go up.

We would sell Phillips. Id expect minimum £20m. That should help with finances along with a reduction in wage bill by losing all the loan players. Likely that Bielsa and co wage bill of £9m would also me lost.
I think it would be hard to come back for a third attempt at promotion as i doubt we could afford to replace the loan players again.

Sounds like your willing us to fail Best Fans. Besides, in convincing yourself that's gonna happen, you're only making yourself miserable. Tell yourself we're going to do it and life's a much happier place.

Yeah I'd imagine you'd be solvent still. Competitive however, I'm not so sure. The championship is a financial nightmare
