Absolutely spot on from Ian Wright on 5 Live last night:
"This is the time for Leeds fans, you've got to be more supportive of those guys. They're feeling it, they're feeling it from you as well and they've got to start channelling some positivity to those guys, otherwise it's not going to happen. They're nervous. They're not positive and they need to stop being so toxic towards them. ".

But majority of Leeds fans. I dunno.

Maybe Wrighty is relaying what Eddie told him, can empathise with it to a degree
The crux of the matter is that since the Cardiff game manybLeeds fans are growing increasingly anxious and frustrated that the blueprint of last season is being repeated all over again.
Whilst it is true that Leeds fans have their part to play bringing positivity on the terraces, the people with even more POWER to bring positivity to the club are Radz and Orta by actually bringing in quality players this time in the January window
. to give the players and fans alike a much needed boost . and the team more confidence and ability to actually win games again.

It cannot be understated what is/ has been the case for the last 2 + possibly 3 games, 1 striker in a squad pushing for promotion is unheard of in professional football.
It's the executive board current ineptitude that is fueling the fans irk, not the players so much, small squad, no rotation, no options.
Leeds Utd fans will reciprocate good will from Radz with all the support possible to give a team that's a fact .16 years is too long fans have had enough of being excluded from the big time are we just expected to keep saying ah sure 1 day we MIGHT GET THERE?

A “fan†is someone who is enthusiastically devoted to, a team, a cause.
This does not flounder, nor fail.
This does not question, nor doubt. A fan supports, provides the necessary support required for the team or cause to succeed, by supporting.
I. B. Yoo.
Leeds Fan.

There was me thinking definition of a fan was someone who goes out into the countryside on his own pitches a tent and listens to a handheld radio device . Thanks for putting me back on track ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
We will never agree bright so let's just leave it at that, I am off to bed, night night now .
22 Jan 2020 02:29:21
Yeah bright. Sorry but think you looked up robot not fan.
As human beings we all have opinions and passion and lots of despair in our case.
Only human to vent discourse in worrying times.
No fan or robot can be happy with a worrying habit forming called losing and keep quiet and remain confident.

All I’m saying with the definition is, basically, it’s not the players fault how much is invested, but they are the ones taking the flak. For the 2nd season running, they are in the best position we’ve seen them for 16 years, and yet they are berated for a missed tackle, a misplaced pass, losing their man once. Let’s not make it more difficult for them simply because we haven’t bought another striker. They are not to blame for that. Direct it to Radz if you must.

Superb Bright!

Who do you think I refer to when I say executive board and when bazooka says Radz + Orta are they not the very same people that you speak of? And " simply " not signing another striker .
The board will have known now for nearly 2 months that Eddie was going yet here we are in 22Jan with 1 striker in a match day squad, and now we go into another game with the same scenario . So there's not much to be "simply " about bright .

rubbish. most were positive last year and look how that worked out? i think positivity adds to pressure. besides mentally starts in the dressing room and buck falls with the gaffer not the fans.

Chris, Baz, I think you get me wrong. I’m not digging at you, just commenting on what Wrighty said! There is a toxic element within our fan base, both at ER and on social media, dishing out abuse to individual players and it quite clearly affect those players. No element of my comment was direcrted to you guys! Clearly, Rads, Orta, and Bielsa and the team are not reading these pages, so you can say whatever you want, it’s not going to affect the team!
