100%. It is all about the hurt. But the hurt is what makes it worthwhile when something goes to plan.

Time to change the moniker to LIW We’re Going Up…the hard way!

Agree 100%.

Last few weeks have been dire.

Cheer up guys it’s not all doom and gloom on current form we’re the 23rd best team in the division over the last 5 games.
So we’re well on course to live up to our falling apart mantra.
I feel some have gone overboard with the abilities of this squad this season.
Points total and 2nd place all points to the theory that we seem to be a good team.
However having watched all season undoubtedly we’ve shone on occasions but at times I feel we’ve won games a lot of times on pieces of individual brilliance.
A lot of this teams inadequacies are masked by this fact.
We’re poor at breaking teams down who do low blocks,I know a lot of teams have the same problem but our inability to do this down the stretch might now be proving our undoing.
As much as I enjoy aspects of Rutters play the amount of time he’s giving the ball away is unforgivable and whatever division we wind up in next year has to improve or we’ll continue to get punished.
Summerville has been great but at times it grinds my gears a little I feel he’s definitely a little self before side at times (just my opinion).
Forgetting the first few games we’ve been a largely efficient team but it’s all deserted us down the stretch.
I think the biggest miss in the scramble to get players on board at the start of the season was getting a truly creative midfield #10 ,we’ve just lacked that creativity all season.
It’s not really in our hands now and we’re relying on pulling rabbits out of hats now.
Our midfield just looked like the midfield of last year tonight so easily walked through and when that happens I feel it’s easy for our defense to look bad.

If we get promoted I’m not even feeling we’d be able to stay up there’s just not enough experienced and strong players on this team.

We’re in a fair old dilemma I feel quite a few like Summerville and Gnonto will agitate for moves away if everything goes pear shaped.

But all that asides things are looking good!
Football bloody hell

Well said Wobble. Feel same about #10. Club has an
unbalanced squad that features a handful of difference
makers who have masked shortcomings. Can't see us
going up. Which means we're going to be saying adios
to several players. 49ers have some huge decisions
and headaches ahead this summer.

Feels like we grasp defeat from the jaws of victory more than other clubs over a season.

2017 we looked nailed on for playoffs and then went on worst run of season in last 5 games.
2019 again 3 losses in last 4 games and went out in playoffs when 2 nil up

Now it will likely be one win more would have taken us up but again we flopped in April

Woke up with a headache and QPRs AllyAllyAllyOOOh song in my head. Not a great place to be!
So very very Leeds last night.
I had a flashback to that immortal photo of Bielsa crouched in the corridor at QPR after a similar episode.
This is also on Farke. I like him and I loved Bielsa but boy they are both so stubborn with team selections and tactics it beggars belief.
We have players on the bench that can make a difference but they are never used until the last few minutes. Totally unacceptable.
Jadon Anthony for one has to wonder why he's come here. What a waste Daniel, what a waste.
Still as I said all this is soooo Leeds United and we've been here so many times.

We've all known 49ers have big decisions to make this summer on loanees and its worse than last summer as these loanees now have less on their contracts and are worth less.

We (the club) makes rod for its own back and hides behind FFP, this situation is ALL on the owners.

The direness on the pitch is all on Farke and current players.

Spot on LIW, sometimes I wish I had no interest in football. The WhatsApp groups full of Liverpool and manu fans gloating is a hard one to swallow.

Where do we go from here? I’ve always said the team that finished third will have it the toughest in play offs. Little did I know we’d be that team after being humiliated by QPR ffs

Got to agree about Anthony. Good player, fresh legs but sits on the bench game after game only coming on with 10 mins to go when we are desperate for goals. Meanwhile players who are doing nothing start and stay on for the full game.

Quite often I get bored with football nowadays and very rarely watch MOTD and as for Football Focus... Good grief, more like loose women and unwatchable in my humble opinion.

I struggle to enjoy the so called big games not involving
Leeds because of VAR... I despise it with a passion and last weekend's FA cup Coventry disallowed last gasp
winner, a millimeter offside summed up for me why the joy of the game has been sucked out by an unnecessary forensic devise.

I enjoy live tennis golf and snooker far more than
watching the EPL but Leeds is a different beast, a different kettle of fish and despite last night's hammer house of horrors, I still remain addicted to the club, wharts and all.... Carry on Leeds United😂

Liverpool and man Utd fans have absolutely nothing to gloat about. One has bottled the league in spectacular fashion and the other is a mid table team despite spending billions.
We're still going for promotion.

Honestly? Why? They have 3 games to find 5 points and their last game is Huddersfield whereas we have one more and it’s Southampton. There is only 7 goal difference, so depending how well they win they may even only have to get 4 points. No, our lads blew their chance big time last night. They all looked half asleep. Where was the fight, the desire to win? Nowhere.
