IF we do go down, from what I've seen of Cresswell , Joffy and Bate ,I don't think physicality will be a huge problem.
In Charlies case the question could be more like Will the opponents be able to cope with him.?
Despite their diminutive stature i agree Joffy & Bate will hold there own. Creswell should be perfect for the Championship and then we have Drameh who has been playing well apparently. A back 4 including Pascal, Creswell, Drameh and a left back looks solid on enough on paper. Can Greenwood provide the missing (since the Matador) creativity that we have sadly never replaced despite spending silly money.
Its already been said on here. The Championship is always the same for Leeds. We are the big fish in the small pond and everyone and their Granny wants to beat us. I don't believe there is another club who draws that vicious comparison. That's why we have to be so much better than the rest.
Anyway positive thoughts and on to Chelski who may be going out of business. Apparently Bates wants his pound back...

We were doing that even in the Championship....and especially where Meslier is concerned.
He is without doubt..a Goalie....in that he has no skill whatsoever with the ball at his feet. You never trap the ball dead under you when someone is pressing you....and to take the ball across his goal line was madness.
But i will say....the players who keep putting it back to him in these situations..when they too have a chance to clear it....are as culpable.
Correct Changnoy, it was a daft pass from Ayling in the first place.

We lost 4-1 at Palace last season, however a point wasn't good enough this time, apparently.
People do forget what a shambles we were before JM walked through the door.
The fact our goal difference is so poor was all down to Bielsa and his naive tactics resulting in us getting battered against the top 6.
If we go down on goal difference then Bielsa has to take most of the blame not JM.

He wont be sacked....and ive stuck around through 3 relegations before..so wont be going anywhere soon.
I just recognise JM has inherited a crap squad and is making a go at keeping us up.
Time will tell if he's anY good once he gets his own stamp on player purchases.
Yes mate, pending on our board getting their act together, would be interesting to see how Jesse does with a better squad.

Yeah that was in bad taste in fairness Leon. Poor effort at gallows humour. Also our mobile hairdresser had a shock the other day at ours. Got a message to say her accountant jumped off the Orwell Bridge a few days ago.
That’s so high I can’t imagine where you’ve got to in life to do that, poor bloke. Don’t think footy could ever do that to me.
I live in Bury St Edmunds btw. Do you remember Clement Freud owned a horse called Dig Up St Edmunds. Top punter.
I live just down river from The Orwell bridge Jay. Driven over it many times, sailed under it many times.
Its had it fair share of folk jumping. Very sad

At the end of the day how many really thought we could get anything today.What you don,t expect for a stupid backpass to a keeper who then buggered it up i was always told if the ball is away from your goal you cant concede.The 2nd once again no marking.As for the sending off well i am afraid the language i would use to describe it would be unprintable.

I do Jay.
Jill & I stayed in Bury St Edmunds for an Ipswich v Leeds, the one we lost 1-0, we had a man sent off in that game, think it was O'Kane, we were awful. I was also at Portman Road the last time we played Ipswich in 2018/19, poor performance as we lost 3-2.

Small world eh. I may well have been at both of those. Definitely a 1-0 game anyway. Also Colchester & Norwich games. I’ve said before they’ve never won an away game I’ve been to. Total jinxer

Ha, small world Chilli. My sister used to live there. Driven through many times.
Claudia Schiffer lives there I think.
Yes she does at Coldham Hall, half a mile from my house.

Would have been another 4-1 or worse
We've turned into Mourinho United, deep joy.
My mate again today ...'have Leeds had a chance yet?"
This is the only chance i think we have, Burnley lose all 3 and we manage to park the bus and scrape a 0-0 in one of our last 3.
Because nobody in this set up and team is gonna create one of those goal thingymebobs, we are absolute garbage, and those of you that can't see what Bert got out of these players to play the football he did really shouldn't be watching the beautiful game, he lost his best players for a while when we had tough fixtures, simples, and he would've turned them out a damn sight better than that complete washout today and palace and Soton....and coming up v Chelsea BHA and Brentford coz Jesse james is out of his depth, you heard it hear first chaps i'm always in front of the slow brigade.
Must dash.
Not dependent on Google, the www or 'stats' - Just a guy that puts his eyes to full use on the beautiful game ...That Ayling goal and "You couldn't script it " - Dirty Leeds B@stard.
Must dash.
;@)
Btw you all agree that the players are gash but for some reason think Bert should've worked wonders with them but seem to excuse the big Jesse, rose tinted an all that for the yank huh ?
He needs sacking asap, like last week because as long as that hole is in his arse we are going only one way, you heard it here first my friends,
Come on chaps put some positive spin on our free flowing super dooper attractive attacking flair...our 7-0 defeats were more entertaining !
