Wanted to post yesterday after the game but couldn't think of anything positive to say, couldn't think of anything negative to say either - just dumbstruck!
From flowing along so beautifully before the international break more than one wheel has dropped off since.
As many others have said, the only saving grace is that Leicester and Ipswich don't want to win the title either but their fate is in their own hands, we are the ones playing catch up.
I'm forcing myself to be positive, so here goes - rewind 12 months; going down without a fight, on our third clueless manager of the season, an owner who no longer wanted to be there, a lot of players who no longer wanted to be there, and a director of football whom most of us no longer wanted to be there!
Fast forward to today - although the past five games have been far from ideal I for one have thoroughly enjoyed this season. We have played some lovely football at times, the players for the most part want to be here, the manager does know what he's doing (most of the time) and our new owners are genuinely interested in making Leeds United work.
And finally, we're still not out of this - come on lads, one final big push:)

Great post mate.
It is dissapointing but all three top teams dropped off showing it is not easy.

100% with you on all that Cleggy, that’s the spirit and our saving grace is that Leicester and Ipswich are also feeling the jitters.
I think if we can win these last three games were up, but who can tell wtf is going to happen in these last few games.
I you were a betting man you’d keep your money in your pocket.

Top post Cleggy.
I'm still confident that there's going to be a couple more twists yet and we'll finish the season in the top 2
We are creating scoring opportunities, but they aren't going in
Tweek the attackers and the goals will come again, starting with Middlesbrough.

Awesome! The Hot Tubbers live on, and live strong! Well said fellaaaaas!

100% Cleggy, totally agree.

Good post Cleggy.
Good positives.
Imperative that Leeds go up this season though as otherwise the manager will lose CS, GR, WG, EA etc in summer.

With you Cleggy.
One way or another, it has been a great season, far better than anyone could have hoped for, given where we were in the close season.
We still have a chance and if it's to be the play-offs, so be it, another chance. Farke has earned these two chances. He's got far more right than wrong. When he has been wrong, and no doubt he's been off it since the break, the players have also been very culpable.
As you say one final push; every game is a lottery at this stage and you got to be in it to win it.
You then have to ask the sanity of wanting to be in the EPL; it is actually very unappealing:
> less prospects of winning games
> VAR
> hard [er] to get tickets
> likely more expensive tickets
> even more cheating
. and yet we are all desperate for it!

Go tubbies.
Is that what you all really think or you just want to oppose negativity?
We had a great 2-3 months and we all were whooping and cheering. Myself included.
And then 5. Yes. 5. Of mediocrity and I’m not cheering any more but the gun hoers are?
You either go on form or you don’t. ?

Ain’t cheering Aus. Far, far from it. But I ain’t going to give up, like others have, when everything is still there to play for.

Spot on post Aus.
