Quote: RHINO-MARK "Personally i think it is proving as such yes injuries have been a factor at certain stages but lets be honest the team we have available should be performing better than they have.
That's not expecting to win every game or to be in every final etc etc it's where we stand here and now the best 17 we can field should be much better especially at the basics.
Now no-one is blameless in terms of their individual performances but i will also add the least of our problems are the young HB's or a young winger etc.
Players/Teams in most sports can become stale after a sustained period of the same Coaches ,routines and the systems they create.
I've no doubts the pre-season disruptions has played a part in terms some of our prep but that's long gone now we are 8 rounds in & only won 2 games.
Senior players are either trying to do it all on their own i.e Cuthbo/Zak or others just aren't getting quality service to have any effect and thus being reduced to 1 dimensional extra BR's i.e Moon/Watkins.
Hall is a shadow of the player he was ,Burrow never was and never will be a Captain and overall structurally we are all over the place.
Imo i do think its time to look at changes upstairs & some better recruitment for 2017 we need fresh ideas & some fresh faces on the field that can have an impact like Cuthbo did last year etc.
Also the obvious thing to add is i NEVER expected the "Golden Generation" to last forever nor do i expect to win every game/CC or GF every year but i also don't think it's unreasonable to expect better than what's happening and lets be honest the approach to 2016 after last years success' has been found wanting on and off the pitch.'"

This explains everything that it is wrong at our great club, not individual or young players that are being hung out to dry by certain posters on here. It could well be the coach outstaying his tenure or not having the ideas to fix the mess that we all saw coming. Is it the CEO or owners fault for for not spending big to rectify this situation and trusting youth/ excisting players.
Who knows, I have over the last 32 years as a Leeds fan stood watching them Lose at Oldham in the middle of winter midweek and have watched them win many a trophy. I will still be there on Friday night to cheer them on.
Am I happy with the current situation, No but I can live with it for now.
