Disastrous
Re: Disastrous
I think had we been mid table all season and climbed to 7th by seasons end then we would all have been feeling positive. However having been in the top 6 from late November to drop out of those positions with a couple of games to go has dampened the mood considerably.
So for me has the season been
Disaster - no
Overall an improvement and exceeding expectations - yes
Bitterly disappointing end - yes

Re: Disastrous
Although looking likely we have not finished 7th yet, maybe the season will throw us another and more positive twist.
It's a funny old game

How anybody can say they would have taken 7th at the start of is demented-may as well say I would have taken 17th-you get sod all for coming 7th pal-up your expectations for Christ sakesawadee2 wrote:I would have taken 7th before the start of this season!
Garry & Pep have this season given us a taste of what is possible on a very meagre budget and boy was it delicious!
They board must surely now back them with the funds required to push on and win this league next season.
Re: Disastrous
Just as a matter of interest SW, where did you think the club would finish this season? I think he his just being honest. I'm viewing the season as a decent one considering all the recent turmoil at the club and our mid-table budget. Now us fans have seen some light again this season, it's important we build on the foundations in place. A backward step from here would be a disaster!swindonwhite wrote:How anybody can say they would have taken 7th at the start of is demented-may as well say I would have taken 17th-you get sod all for coming 7th pal-up your expectations for Christ sakesawadee2 wrote:I would have taken 7th before the start of this season!

Re: Disastrous
Top six-leeds have been in turmoil for 13 years-still have a good crop of young players coming through- good keeper-player of the season for me- best back four we have had in 10 years-pacey fullbacks-lot of options in midfield-pacey wingers a plenty which we have never had-lost it in attack woods been class but support should have been brought in- in the window if we had brought 2 -3 players like the teams above us did then I guarantee play offs if not automatic promotion-can anyone argue that
Re: Disastrous
I appreciate all that but he said start of season. All the above was yet to be revealed. I personally thought players such as Ayling & Green were just more second-hand low budget rubbish at the start of the season. Glad to say they proved me wrong. The only quality player I thought we may have was Roofe, (shows I know nothing about football eh)swindonwhite wrote:Top six-leeds have been in turmoil for 13 years-still have a good crop of young players coming through- good keeper-player of the season for me- best back four we have had in 10 years-pacey fullbacks-lot of options in midfield-pacey wingers a plenty which we have never had-lost it in attack woods been class but support should have been brought in- in the window if we had brought 2 -3 players like the teams above us did then I guarantee play offs if not automatic promotion-can anyone argue that

Re: Disastrous
yeah one player-thing is take the loanees out next season and pleyers will be leaving I just do not see the club investing for the new season-I don't see this season is something to build on-it may be another 12 years before we have another chane like the one we had this year-am listening to leeds now but do not give a toss about the result-just feel sick about what we thrown away this season
