    Can imagine that must've felt like a long drive home Saturday?

    I think the players need to eat a big plate of spaghetti Bolognese or Kentucky Fried Rice for breakfast before a game.

    Nothing has changed since the summer. We have a smaller and weaker squad and looking at Alfie and Shackleton it's getting smaller.
    We need some big guys and in this window too easily to defend against us set pieces and corners. Bamford is not a striker so in fact we have no strikers at all. Our luck has run out used it all up versus brum.
    Only way to stay in the top two is get at least three players in and ditch Cooper who is no leader. Kalvin can have a nice long rest now bless him the Fookin idiot but he's been doing it all season so had to happen sometime.
    Said it loads of times Bielsa is not the messiah. He is the burnout king and this team has lost all confidence. Wilder at sheff utd is a proper manager but Bielsa is just a weird coach. I predicted failure last season and if no quality comes in then its the same. Kiss goodbye to autos and the play offs are not Leeds strong point.
    Bielsa is not for me never has been.

    Always is when we play in London mate, at least I arrived home by 7.20pm, it will be more like 3am for the Brentford game.

    Having such a small squad is just plain stupidity, if as some experts on here state that Bielsa likes a small squad and Radz won't put his hand in his pocket to add to the team, well, they're a marriage made in heaven aren't they

    we know bielsa likes a small squad... we can only presume that radz is exceptionally happy about that - and even more so that bielsa likes to try to turn ugly ducklings into beautiful swans.

    if you were a chairman it’s the perfect out clause... ‘I was willing to spunk 20m on Bowen but bielsa saw potential in 17 year old Arbroath prospect jocky mcbarndoor ... and I always back my manager’

    That's exactly my point

    Then when Bielsa has coached him to be a better player we sell him to spurs then loan him back and don't play him

    Take away the loan players and we have 8 fit first team Leeds united players, Rads having a fooking Giraffe isn't he.

    Has anyone heard anything about Fast Eddie getting in touch with Jack Clarke after the game gloating saying he was glad we got beat
    a mate of mine in the pub had it on his phone yesterday from some soshul meedja site, can't remember which one as i'd had about ten pints by then:emoticon-0175-drunk

    I honestly see where you’re coming from but... Are we not second in the league, have we ever played better football in the last 15 years than what we’re seeing under Bielsa? It’s his tactics that got us here, it’s his team selection with the same group who were finishing mid table at best prior to his arrival.

    Would Daniel James have made a difference? Let’s also remember Bamford was third choice, we messed around before him believing we had a chance of Vydra or the ex Hull City guy. Bielsa also wanted Ryan Kent but we couldn’t land him.

    I get both sides, we do need more depth in my opinion, Bielsa likes working with a small squad, he only wants better players not average. It’s okay moaning about what he tells the press but are some really suggesting he should put more doubt in a team that is already lacking confidence by saying we’re not good enough?

    Clarke said on Twitter it was good to get his debut for QPR and come away with a win, Eddie replied with something like a thumbs up and the word “Great”

    2 bitter players, not given a chance, can understand to some extent, expecially with Eddie, good enough to play for Arsenal in the prem but not for Leeds.
