Exactly Jonny, some people just seem blind to the real challenge I'm afraid.
Let's just get our first goal and win under Warnock and try enjoy the rest of the season (i know it's not easy given the expense involved thanks to Ken).

Jonty........Just because it's never been done does'nt mean it never will be
Highland, have you got the courage of your convictions to put a bet on it then?
I bet you we Leeds will not average 2 points per game for our remaining games this season.
£50?
Highlandwhite . Knockers Out !! Col in!!!!
Optimism is great! Keep it up!
Optimism doesn't wait on facts. It deals with prospects. Pessimism is a waste of time.
Admittedly, the race for the play offs currently sees teams with seemingly one of the lowest points difference between top and bottom at this stage of the season - excluding Portsmouth's 10 point deduction, after 36 games there's just 39 points between top and bottom.
It's clear, Leeds are relying on the 'shaking out' of the games other teams have in hand over us before we have a better idea whether our slim hopes are alive. In other words, just a couple of draws/losses for the likes of Birmingham and Hull gives us just that hope again.
Just taken a deeper analysis of the remaining fixtures - I suggest you up that to £100 minimum Jonty......
Real Estate, I'd love us to go up but situation seems against us.
Will be interesting to see if Highland is up for it.
Over their past 11 games, Reading have already achieved the 2 points per game ratio that we require; the problem is.........
"In other words, just a couple of draws/losses for the likes of Birmingham and Hull gives us just that hope again."
What about Blackpool, Cardiff and Brighton?
Jonty
At least give Highland some odds for Leeds to make the playoffs, rather than just an even bet which any idiot surely wouldn't take.
Doesn't work that way skb I say we wont win 2 points a game and I'm happy to put my money where my mouth is.
Sorry should read things properly before posting.
Nevertheless a minimum of either 6 wins and 4 draws or 7 wins and a draw required to reach at least 22 points i can see why you are confident.
£50 Jonty......................is that real ones or cyberspace ones
I would love to take your bet Jonty, but i don't bet on Leeds (it seems to jinx them) and also i don't have a spare £50 otherwise i'd be at ER a bit more often. (trying to get my savings back up after my daughters Wedding last year , ready for the new G/Child in August)
Tell you something though Jonty, i bet i regret not betting ..
I'm not a betting man but seemed like a reasonable bet, happy to make it just a pint some day!
Good luck on grand daddy hood!
Cheers Jonty, ok definite pint on it, and if i lose i'll throw in a dram
btw...........got 2 G/Kids already from my eldest son, but this one from my Daughter makes it a little special
You don't look old enough!
Oh Trust me i am i was born 7 yrs before big John went to Juve (ish)
But Thanks for the compliment
