I noticed Kev going ballistic a few times during the first half. It was quite bad viewing as the players looked to be angry with one and other and it really seemed like Leeds we're losing their way.

The attacking from Leeds in the first half was worse than anything I have seen from them for quite a few years. The negativity at half time in the stand was very strong. Yes the defence stood firm but the Wakefield attack never looked dangerous. I was stood next to some Wakefield fans and they couldn't believe how poor Leeds we're attack and discipline wise. We posted some points in the second half and didn't let Wakefield in but all in all that was a very bad performance from Leeds. The scoreline, which flattered Leeds, looks to have brushed the poor display under the carpet.

Did we take a couple of steps forward in defence again today I wonder?

Are we moving in the right direction now, or did we just come up against the poorest attacking team in the competition and invite them into the game by not respecting the ball and giving away penalties all over the place in the first half?

Do we really look like we are getting any closer to the style of play the coach (and CEO) are wanting us to play.

I only ask because next week we come up against the current Champions, current meanest defence in SL, and face the prospect of having only a 25% home win record by 10pm on Friday night.

Glass half full or half empty?

What's wrong Jeff - stung into action by some home truths on the "Wigan" thread - you add value to this board some of the time, sometimes you just behave like a five year old.

The performance you read about on here, via Keith's slanted opinion (I could actually hear the sound of his flesh being battered as he hoped for a Leeds loss, but ingeniously covered his tracks by predicting a win btw)?

Or the performance you heard on the radio?

Since your knee jerk a few posters actually present have posted their reports so you could read those.

There's no doubting the criticism is fair and deserved but lets not buy into this "the score flattered us" bollox we created the chances and took them and if they'd of made their 1st half posession pay then they'd of got more than 6.

Gareth, you know Jeff knows best even when he wasn't at the game

Not easy to tell - Wakey did have the weapons that Wigan will have - given we defended 4 sets back to back that has to be a positive - not sure if we give Wigan four back to back sets we will be capable of stopping them scoring.

I had a bet on Leeds to win by 14+

HTH

Knee-jerk reactions on the basis of one solitary game or one solitary player performance is the domain of five year old behaviour.

Is it a Knee Jerk, or is it real concern about the continuing trends that we don't seem able to fix?

I am not taking any notice of Keith and his blatant attempts to troll the board (shame really as if he could be bothered he could contribute with a good view of the current situation), I am worried that the current situation we are in will not be fixed by persisting with the current style of play and with the current coaching team, although I am willing to give them this season to rectify the current failures.

Are you happy with the progress (or lack thereof) that we are showing from week to week at the moment?

You asked if we were ready for the "spin machine to put a positive slant on this performance"

I'll remind you it was a performance you hadn't seen and all you'd read at that time was the comments of Jeff and others on a thread where they'd listened to the game on the radio. If that is not a knee jerk then it's an ill advised comment.

What are the "continuing trends we don't seem to be able to fix" and how did they manifest themselves today?

If I were you I'd stop trying to defend the indefensible by claiming that any input to this thread is only valid if you listened to the game on the radio, rather than attended in person.

It's making you look quite foolish, which is a shame when you are very capable of having a sensible discussion on the merits (or lack of) regarding Leeds current predicament.
