If we do get relegated, with the facilities Leeds have and with the money spent on players before and during this season, we cannot have any complaints. I suspect London will still finish below us, I'm not sure about HKR.

I said two weeks ago You would finish bottom, London will still shock a few, Kr have players coming back, you guy's....I really dont know? You aint the team of old Im afraid.

I hope that the management aren't blithely assuming that London will not win another game this year. Whilst they're struggling, if I was Danny ward I'd target both Leeds games and some very specific other ones - KR for example. If you do that we've seen before that confidence doesn't erode with other losses.

We are so bad that's almost the approach we need to take. Forget sending out the 'strongest possible side' against the likes of Wire and Sts. Instead focus 100% on the possibly winnable games, and use some of the games against top sides as a chance to try out new players and structures. As a club we cannot let some collective ego based around past glories make us assume all will be well just because we're Leeds.

London have something we are missing. A willingness to give everything on the pitch for the cause. They don't have many quality players but their team spirit is light years ahead of ours.
Relegation is a serious possibility. Sinfield referred to the Bradford game as rock bottom, that may be a bit premature.

Re: Relegation : Fri May 17, 2019 5:23 am  

That was rock bottom a week ago, the only thing the have done to address this is make a statement urging fans to come and see the north stand

100% correct.
London and HKR both have spirit and enthusiasm.
Currently we have none of these qualities.
Players appear not to care, it's just a job and they continue to get paid despite their poor performances. D
Losing doesn't hurt their pockets. Oh for the days of win bonuses.

if next Sunday wasn't already an important game after last nights result, its now a must win game!!!!

I think one of the reasons we are down here is also one of the reasons we may get out of it.

For me, or squad is very deep. The problem is that most of the squad is not of the required quality. We have lots of bodies to come back but we're still putting out close to a first choice team. The problem is that because so many of our players are poor or playing poorly we don't have a bunch of players who are dead certs to play but lots of interchangeable mediocre players.

Re: Relegation : Fri May 17, 2019 10:39 am  

One of the big problems is that instead of dropping players out of the squad, we simply put them in a different position in the team, same players different positions, If they are not performing they should be out of the squad not give them another chance in a different position. Talk about square pegs in round holes. get rid of these underperformers.

I think we are a poor team in poor form ,hopefully we can be a poor team playing better and win a few games and stave off relegation once more

Heared from someone well within this. Furner had said he wanted to clear the deadwood out and was told there is no more money to work with. This squad is all there is work with it.
We are in really bad shape
