but think we need a change in direction next season.
Big rebuild needed now, and that can only happen with change of Manager
we will stay up, and comfortably

Knee jerk reaction to a poor performance.
We aren’t a million miles away from what Bielsa wants and a couple of decent signings in the summer could be just what we need.
At times our game is unplayable but this season we’ve just not seen enough of it.
I agree that we will stay up but not that we need a new manager. Not yet anyway.

I said it last week and will say it again. Other teams around us have invested and its showing. We haven't signed anyone in the window and it will cost us. Everton yesterday, 3 new additions. Van de Beek was immense
We were poor yesterday, how on earth we can turn up and lose by 3 at an out of sorts Everton team is beyond me. Our only hope is that Watford, Norwich and Burnley lose more games than we do otherwise we are going down.
Some of our players have given it their all so I can't fault them. As soon as they brought Roberts on as the 'answer' it was apparent the game was lost.
The owners are to blame and I hope new owners with real ambition for the club, to take Leeds back to being a regular top 6 side , challenging for the title emerge.
Yesterday was a bitter blow.

Agree with macca. Bielsa said so himself that there wasn't time to prepare for the Everton game!

I doubt there will be much confidence that we'll stay up in 3 or 4 games time with the teams we are facing, but we have to hope that the players get through that with confidence intact and (with a bit of luck) a few points more.

While I agree with Macca I dont think that can be used as an excuse.
We played twice a week, most weeks, in the championship and never had a probem with preperation.
In fact, we all remember tht press conference when we battered Derby after spygate, Bielsa is known for his attention to detail so I just dont buy that we didnt have the tie to prepare

I don't think we currently have a strong enough squad/ players available to cope with consecutive games at this level

Unfortunately the PL is relentless and I don't believe you can cope with such a small squad that lacks quality

Well, it's pretty clear that the Barcodes believe in buying their way out of trouble and it seems to be working. Villa on the bounce from Wednesday, like us, even if they didn't lose 3-0.
Alright, so we scrape by this season and then enter a transition season with new owners and, hopefully, new investment. I can only keep believing this will be the case cos it's certainly not nailed on at the mo.

I wonder how people can say quality and think it comes cheap?..
Everyone can make a list and put it out there, but while making that list they should also state how much they're willing to pay for those players, but remember one thing while doing that!..
We've been down that road before, and it was feckin painful!..
So, the way things are going now and the calling Bielsa out, chances are he'll feel unwanted and walk, well done all that are against him but I hope when he does walk, we can get all the players you's want and a manager that can make it work!..
But at the same time I hope doing doesn't turn out like Cellino's 11 Italians or Ridsdale's Slaughterhouse, because I'd hate to think what we've been through and the stick the club would get if it didn't work again!..
This club will not go down but like people are saying, we do need better but I can't see Bielsa being there to get the most out off them!..
