Another wildly exaggerated conclusion from what I actually said.

I think you have high standards mate, bit like me. Think the only way to enjoy Leeds is to lower those standards as they’ll never play like they used to. None of the teams are as good as their pomp days. Simple as that, almost different game now.
It is annoying when people on here make out we don’t know what we’re talking about. I still play football, golf, cricket and snooker into my 40’s, so have some appreciation of the sporting world! At ground level too…..

And do you not think you are prone to the odd wild exaggeration? Last weeks half time post against Leigh, for example.

Yep, I went way too early with that one....

Pure frustration.

Well, in fairness it's never in short supply for Leeds fans. Sure we all hope it will change - and soon.

Ha yeah, we’ve been given enough cause for frustration last few years…..

Exactly mate!
And this year is a bit of a roller coaster already.
I guess that makes it more interesting ATEOTD.
Roll on next Friday....

I think some fans expect perfect performances, sports more enjoyable when you accept players will miss tackles, drop the ball and make bad decisions. There’s a general negative attitude which looks for negative things. Just take a step back and enjoy the game.

This isn’t aimed at anyone in particular, just a general observation.

To be fair I don't think anyone suggested Simmo didn't know what he was talking about.

Read through the threads. Not just this one but on the whole we all have a rant, get frustrated. But on the whole we are all pretty knowledgable and accepting.

Surely you expect elite players to perform at an elite level most of the time. You expect a club the size of Leeds with its resources and access to youth talent to be amongst the better sides. It is difficult to enjoy under performing players at a club that gets most things right apart from the one thing that should be the whole focus of the organisation.

Let's get things into perspective.
