I saw this when it first emerged and could not make out if it was fake or not, apparently it was via the PM function on Twitter, I just can't see Radz replying directly to a fan like this
Jeff Stelling @JeffStelling · 11h Replying to @LowerLeagueLook Totally agree. Take your headphones off. Look up from your mobiles. You earn fortunes because of people who spend their hard earned cash to watch football. Just acknowledge them for crying out loud.
It's hard to fathom what happened since Palace scored their equaliser just before half time. We were cruising in that game and looking sure to stay up. Could there have been a bust up in the dressing room at half time? We've been total garbage since then.
I not for once thought like some of you, about having Bielsa back, but now after everything and being reminded about him through the post's on here, I have thoroughly changed my mind, it's that old saying you don't know what you had, until it's gone fits the bill perfectly. This club meant so much to him and it showed. Then i thought, have i ever seen a manager/coach come back to a club and be a success, then Roy hodgson came to mind, he has performed (after we all laughed at palace) nothing short of a bloody miracle. Now if anyone is capable of performing a miracle it's Bielsa, so before it's to late Orta should go cap in hand, and on his hand and knees if necessary and get him back and sort us out, because i think he possibly would given the right approach. if it did happen what an incredible lift that would be to everyone involved with the club.
Apparently it was a PM to the lad who appears on the fans forum on sky representing Leeds fans. That thing when the pundits sit and talk to fans of all clubs.
A message from the players. As the first team squad at Leeds United, we wanted to reach out to the fan base regarding yesterday’s game and subsequent posts on social media. Firstly, the performance was not good enough. There is no other way to look at it and the only way to respond is on the pitch. Leeds fans travel up and down the country in huge numbers and deserve more than this. What is just as concerning to us as a group, is the video online of us leaving the hotel. Words can’t express how sorry we are that the youngster in the video wearing the Leeds kit is not shown more love from the squad. On a matchday we do an activation walk, before and after this we stop for photos and autographs to ensure we interact with fans, but also that we are on time when leaving for games. However, there is no excuse for not acknowledging fans and if the parents of the fan wearing the Leeds kit in the video could make themselves known to us, we would be grateful. We do not believe that this fight is over and we will keep going until the last ball is kicked this season. Thank you again for your support.
we went gung ho that 1st half with Palace and we ran out of petrol 2nd half not saying it was all that as Palace found their feet but it's defo another factor Ive seen since Bielsa left the team can't do what they do for 90mis like they did with him. That's why we have so many different performances each game in each half. no miracles this season we have gone the players know it too. so many heads dropped yesterday tactically it was a farce. Let's put it into context that was Bournemouth we played and they scored 4 could of been 5 or 6 if that hasn't got relegation written all over it someone pls find me the answer. people pointing the finger Meslier Ayling McKennie Aaronsson yes they take the blame but the same as everyone else nobody in that team can hold their head up and say I wanted that not even in the last few games. we bottle 50/50 balls Bamford doesn't want to jump for a ball Meslier doesn't want to catch a ball McKennie can't pass a ball our defence can't play Football. Sini,Summerville never get stuck in and take the easy option out in a 50/50 ball battle Aaronsson doesn't want to stay on his feet. Rutter walks around wth hs hands in his sleeves. We not playing as a team our tactics are woeful have been all season we can't defend set pieces christ we haven't for 3 season's now the list just goes on and on. You can't cover holes was just a matter of time. This is not the team that was playing mid season so something's changed. it's coz they've bloody gave up and now will be asking their agents where they go next. not one of them players has Leeds United on thier sleeve. Ayling did but he aint stupid he knows his time is up here or maybe he thinks hey i have a chnce still in the championship. If we do go down let's see who really has leeds in their hearts and want to stay to fix what they broke. Not many will because they so up in themselves they think they are premiership players well you know lads you aint coz you all feckin failed and miserably bunch of useless t&ats.
"Words can’t express how sorry we are that the youngster in the video wearing the Leeds kit is not shown more love from the squad". They didn't even look up!!!

Words are so easy, prove to the fans you mean it, by showing us on the pitch, and no matter how you play show some respect before and after games. Hopefully then we can all draw a line under this sorry saga.
How did we win at Anfield then ? The first team to win there in the PL for years as well. There's been other performances of merit as well so the argument we're simply not good enough doesn't wash. Also only a few weeks ago we're 1-0 against Palace and cruising to safety before something happened and the wheels fell off. What's occured since needs to be put to bed and a new page turned because there is enough talent in our squad to get the 4 points which might be enough to keep us up. Forest have; Saints (h) 3 points (maybe) Chelsea (a) 0 points Arsenal (h) 0 points Palace (a) 0 points Depends what happens at Leicester tonight but no one actually knows what's required points wise yet.
That's what we got from those 4 fixtures. From Everton's 5 fixtures we got 6 pts (their last 2 games).
