I honestly believe we have brought on this bad spell of form ourselves (the fans). It's nothing to do with Grayson or Bates, we have talked and protested ourselves into the bottom spot unnecessarily. Players must read the negative bile on this forum and other normally loyal fans read it and start to get doubts. It generates a negative atmosphere all round and players like Snoddy and Max start to wonder if they would have been better to move on.
The fault only lies with a handful of posters. I have only filtered 4 users (you know who they are!) and the negativity almost has disappeared from this forum. I did notice the number of page of Leeds postings then dropped from 63 pages down to 55 pages. The just illustrates the sheer quantity of negativity that these 4 are posting.
Negativity is like a disease it needs stamping out. Get behind the team and support them out of it. As Eddie Gray said on the radio, it would be more harmful to Leeds than Bates if he were to leave. He has brought some financial common sense to Leeds and I am all for holding down the wage demands these Agents demand for their players. Grayson has been unlucky with injuries at the start of the season, and I trust his judgement.
I was at the game yesterday and the referee was diabolical but the players worked hard and were unlucky. We will come through this sticky spell, and let's trust these youngsters from the academy and give them their chance. You never know what might develop from them.
Marching on Together!

Sir Kenneth Bates - totally agree.
However, Grayson is a stubborn man who seems set on denying Nuñez and Sam deserved starts for League matches.
Surely Grayson doesn't need me to tell him that you generally need to start with players who demnstrate they know where the back of the net is, or at least how to create for those woh do - NOT those who either can't hit the barn door, or simply, when the do score, would find it harder to miss than score!!

... but vented a lot of my frustration at the clubs intransigence at strenghthening the squad on here. It wasn't negative bile, it was realism...
In all fairness to you, you do not post ther same negative bile or realism, as you call it, every bloomin' day like some do.
It's the drip drip drip of purile negativity from a handful of genuine fans (doom and gloomers) and the inane posting of some (supposed) Leeds fans (WUMS) that get the goat!
WUMS from other clubs coming on and having a dig is one thing, but to pretend you're a Leeds fan and do it (you know who they are) just shows how sad they are. I've deleted six of them now.
We're all frustrated, we all want LUFC to do well.

Can i just say pock...we are behind the team & support the team, at times they don't perform that gets our goat, but nevertheless we support the lads.....its papa who we're not behind..he's ripping us off with all his spin & lies, we aren't daft...we just can't wait for someone to come in & buy him out and no we DON'T want a ridsdale like spending spree, but we do expect improvements to the squad & there are players who could've improved the squad that joined other clubs & they wouldn't have cost a fortune.. i don't what his wage structure is but obviously embarrassing enough for players not wanting to come here....the man is playing people for fools including us...

If that's the case, whose goat is it?

Eric,
I know that you know where I'm coming from.
A club with our history, in our current position is always going to attract comments from ****heads of clubs with an inferiority complex, its called jealousy. I also have used the filter to rid myself of 3 ****heads to date, purely because they're unimaginative, repetitive, boring or illiterate and in some cases a combination of all four.
Marching on together, regardless!
I'm still convinced that long term it will all come right!
