Too many passengers at the moment. Bamford been awful, not bringing anything to the table currently.

On this form we've blown it again. The players need to sharpen up, and MB needs to change things. KP corners should not be allowed. Bamford and Costa should.be dropped

Overman wrote:Wow, if we can't put Luton to bed at home, we don't deserve to go up. We didn't look like a side pushing for promotion, been far too flakey since the restart. Klich looks, off, Phillips starting to believe in his own hype, and Costa running around like a small child. I really can't see how we can persist with Bamford for the remaining matches, he brings ferk all to this team, diabolical player.
Unfortunately you're right with all of that. The pressure is full on now and these players only know one thing.... failure ! I can't see Brentford slipping up at all infact I think they'll win every game so we are in a battle for 2nd imo. We are struggling because of lack of experience on the bench and that is down to Bielsa. I've never agreed with his lack of rotation and now our players are going down like flies we have very weak backup which I really do hope won't come back to haunt us .

And it looks like he's done hamstring to me.

Suddenly that nice run-in looks daunting looking at the mini form guide. We need a win on Saturday and Blackburn are not in form themselves but injuries are catching up with us now. Not confident at all anymore.

We have three more relegation threatened teams to play yet, all in Elland Road, and they will all do a Luton. Where do we turn to for that cool head or bit of class to open these clam defences?

Much as I want Bamford to step out it just won’t happen. Now we have Dalllas and Cooper possibly out with inexperienced options on the bench. All this and 13 points needed from 6 games for a definite promotion place. I’m at a loss as to what can done to reignite this team. It’s just like our Christmas spells and the games are coming just as fast. Seriously worrying and just so typical of Leeds to do this to us!

Whe are the club going to admit that they havent fixed the same issues we have had since MB arrived?

Lack creativity centre of the pitch , lack end product, are absolutely awful from set pieces.

All things that generally cant be fixed by coaching.

And in a night where we had so many attempts on goal JKA’s loan spell comes to an end at midnight.

I still find it bewildering that for a club of this size and stature, and the best striking option we can come up with, is Bamford. The fact that don't even to have a striker on the bench, is unreal. Orta's amazing recruitment process, we go and sign a crocked and unfit player for the crucial run in. Let's hope it doesn't cost us dearly yet again. We are our own worst enemy, nearly all of the time.

Looking at their fixture list I can't see them dropping many points

How anyone can defend Orta is beyond me.

He is meant to be a Bielsa fan.

He got him 1 striker in Nketiah who didnt suit the style and another in JKA who wasnt fit.

We probably wasted close to £10mil on those 2.

We were although i think Pablo's radar was a bit off and Ali imo made a bigger impact.

5 chances created for Ali, Roberts only created 1 as a 10, Harrison 2 and Costa 3.

Worried about Pablo, he isnt fully fit and probably shouldn't be playing.

His hammies are like cheese strings.

Because Radz will have to admit Orta has failed, so he won't. How much money has he wasted on dreadful recruitment now? Yet we're still reliant on 35 yo Pablo and Dallas who was a Cellino signing!

What does Roberts actually bring to the team? Never scores, never creates anything.
