Faith, actually I agree.. I feel a bit doom and gloom currently but a run of wins is possible and with the league being like it is.. we could stride clear.
Need to score some goals though
Think High Royds is missing two patients

The men in white coats are on their way!!
Look forward to your excuses on Christmas eve
This time last year we went on a six game winning streak. Nothing to say that couldn’t happen again. We just need some goals,
This league is unpredictable though.

A serious case of wishful thinking, all the best and
have faith in Leeds.
Don’t panic lads... it’s all coming home
Before it all ends in tears again
I don't judge the team from the start of this season
but I think it's a continuation from last season,
specifically from New Year...apart from a couple of
high points, such as Derby at home, obviously not
the play off game...the team were inconsistent,
goals were hard to come by just like it is now.
What position would the team have finished in had
points started from New Year, would we have
finished top 6 ?
Basically it's still the same team as last season and
I don't see any significant difference, apart from
Bamford for Roofe and White for Janssen...it's
obvious and apparent to me that if we can't score
more than one goal per match we won't get
promoted.
Sometimes someone points something really obvious, but you’ve never really thought about it before.
NJS is right, this calendar year we’ve not played well barring a few a games.
I don’t want to hear about any stats, about being third or we’ve gained more points at this point compared to last year.
I judge with my eyes.
This side doesn’t feel like a promotion winning side.
You can’t see us, giving a team a thrashing, and winning by the odd goal, takes its toll eventually mentally and physically.
Second half we was appalling today
I know we disagree about bamford
But the bigger issue is the lack of quality and goals in rest of the midfield and attackers.
You can coach, players formations and tactics all day long.
But you need quality at the business end, and it’s not so easy to teach and train
Very much agree with that, let's hope the transfer
window is good for us but I won't be holding my
breath. 👍
Very tight league - only 3 points between 2nd and 11th. We need a scorer, can Beckford help us out !
What we really need is the impossible - a replacement/alternative for Pablo for the times he's not able to play.
No doubt we'll see a flurry of activity in the January window...
I disagree about us not playing well. Just from this season - Bristol, Stoke, Derby, Preston were all very good performances. The worry is the lack of goals and the inability to turn those very good performances into comfortable wins. Bristol and Stoke aside, we've not been putting teams away when we are on top.
Last season we had Klich and Pablo in double figures. Well Klich doesn't pose any goal threat whatsoever at the moment, Pablo is obviously injured, and the other midfielders don't score enough.
Pressure is all on Bamford or Nketiah to score and if they don't, we struggle to make our superiority pay.
Think we have been creating more chances than we were last season. With the exception of the last couple of games.
Bamfords confidence has been the difference between us being where we are and 6 points clear.
I look at who will come back into the side; Pablo, Forshaw, Roberts, Cooper and think they will improve the side massively between them.
And the run of fixtures we have is much more favourable than the the run we have played so far.
Favourable run of fixtures? How many times has this been said. We are playing teams who have not won for 8 or more games so surely we must beat them. Our form this calendar year shows that for teams on bad runs we are the ideal opponents!
As has been stated our lack of goal threat from midfield or wingers means all the onus is on the lone striker and defences can deal with that quite comfortably.
Something needs to radically change if we want to get promoted

How true! 👍
I don't think we're as good as we think we are. Its certainly high possession football but its not champagne football like last season. I think we've weakened this season performance wise and personnel. Our best player this season has been a centre back for example.

I think a lot of people are looking back on last season and remembering only the Derby games, Stoke, Norwich away. We had results we ground out as well and a lot of tight games like this season.
Results during the 7 game winning streak:
2-0 Bristol (red card turned the game)
1-0 Reading (last minute penalty save)
1-0 Sheffield United (goalkeeping mistake led to winner)
2-1 QPR (went 1 nil down and questionable penalty was the winner)
1-0 Bolton (late winner from Bamford)
3-2 Aston Villa (2 nil down)
3-2 Blackburn (2-1 down at 89 minutes)
All 7 of those games were tight and could have gone a different way.
Fact is we dominate the majority of games, restrict opposition to few chances and create a number of good chances each game.
Roofe handball versus forest too
This league is so unpredictable. I see Hudds haven’t lost in their last 5 games. Could they do a Norwich? Stranger things have happened!
I said at the beginning of this month that we would do well to be top six by the start of November. The fact is that we are well positioned, despite being without our preferred midfield. We have played top teams home and away and we have been dominant in most games. It is frustrating not to do better - it always is - but we have a big chance to step on the pedal over the next 2 months. Let's see what's in the tank.
