| Quote: knockersbumpMKII "IMO the next two games and how we perform make more of an impact than the two following games.
Firstly because it is exactly how we react from the performances of last night and the week before in these two games that will have a huge bearing as to how we go on the two games and beyond as we'll have almost played 1/3 of the season.
As I said the difference between how we perform over the next two games could well decide how our season pans out, lose badly in both and the chances of winning the folowing two games that you reckon have more bearing are even less. Sneak a win, a draw, just something for the players to draw upon and the following two games whilst not easy to get a result from a mental POV are a little easier.
Losing confidence and the drain of losing games week in week out (which would be apt if we've lost 5 weeks running) and the added pressure each week from losing has a massive bearing on what happens next.
That's why the next two games are more important for me.'"
This is where I think you're wrong. That's how it works for normal sides, but over the last few years we have consistently shown that that is exactly what we do not do. We are consistently inconsistent, and putting in performances in the next 2 games make it no more or less likely that we'll carry that on. In fact, recent history has multiple examples of the opposite, where we do well for a couple of games against good sides then go back to being plain awful against those around us in the table. Last night's second half was quite surprising for that, the first half was much more our style against a top 4 side. For about 7 or 8 years now we've lumbered from performances to build upon to coaches looking for a reaction to an unacceptable debacle almost from week to week. In terms of results and importance, the next 2 games are the same as all the others, but as indicators as to whether we've finally put our split-personality to bed they are pretty irrelevant. That's what I mean by how telling they are about our long-term progress.

| You can't blame the short turnaround, it's an awful excuse....
We had 2 weeks to prepare for Salford and where did that get us??

| After the dust has settled,and after watching a replay this morning,the 2nd half was acgtually worse than i originaly thought.With the posession we had in the 1st half,a half decent side would have scored more than 12pts.The 2nd half which was roles reversed leeds scored 43pts,the difference is their coach had seen what was required to change the game,can anyone honestly say radford could have come up with a game changer ?
In the post match interview he mumbled his way through and basically had a job completing a sentence.Adam we all know he was a cheap option and you have shown your loyalty to him,but do you not realise its us fans who have to pay to suffer dross like salford and last night.
Radford said last season if he couldnt do the job he would walk well it is pretty obvious to most of us he isnt up to the job and the quicker he walks the better,the only problem is will adam be willing to dig deep to get a decent coach,I fear not !

You have a very short and/or selective memory.

It's pretty clear from his interview last night, where he failed to place any responsibility whatsoever on either himself or the players, that he won't walk. And Pearson has said that he won't be sacked. Which leaves us up the proverbial creek IMO.

Almost the opposite of Alex Ferguson who I never remember hearing praise the opposition after a defeat. It would seem that everything last night was a result of Leeds' play.
