    If you''d have told me on New Years Eve that Leeds wouldn''t win and of their next 4 (non FA Cup games) I''d have laughed in your face!! We haven''t looked like conceding goals nevermind losing games but here we are...

    I still maintain though that NO team in this league will pick up more points than Leeds and Norwich between now and May

    Well I for one am very happy with the signing, he gives us something we don''t have and thats a cleverness and intelligence as opposed to brute force or percentages with Beckford (he''ll get one in eventually, if we keep creating chances)

    All that is useless though unless we arrest this slump and remember how to defend, at the moment, even after our worst run of form in over a year we''re still well placed to go up and I''d have snapped anybody''s hand off if they''d have suggested this scenario in August.

    I don''t care if you win every game from now unitl the end of the season and The Football League decide to promote you 2 divisions because you''re just too good! as long as we get promoted this year, i''ll be very, very happy!

    leeds have 2 games in hand!

    As a Leeds fan I''d have to sat its good news, if just to settle the team down again, we''ve been beyond woeful the last 2 matches and were fortunate to only get beaten by 2 yesterday...

    Your result didn''t help my mood at all but hopefully it will give the team a kick up the ass - the last time we lost, we scored 16 goals in the next 5 games. Unfortunately our cup games are beginning to get in the way, not playing next week leaves the door open for you lot but as we''ve seen so many times before, the pressure of being chased is very different...

    What a ridiculous thread! Leeds are 8 points better off than you lot with a game in hand and only lost one all season, yet you expect them to capitulate in the 2nd half of the season whilst you go unbeaten...

    We''ve got our first 11 back now apart from the GK after a series of injuries to defenders, midfielders and front men. We have the depth of squad to sustain our run, do you?

    Should Beckford leave Leeds have ear-marked Gary Hooper of Scunthorpe or Billy Sharpe or Sheff U to replace him.

    Excellent Post Blah(x3)

    Its a case of which is worth more to Leeds a max of £2m or pomotion, you''d have to say promotion and the club took that stance when they turned down offers for him in the Summer.

    Time will tell if they still keep to that...

    Your point about the CCC players is true - Max Gradel must have won us 10-12 points on his own in the last 3 months

    In all honesty only Newcastle have the ability to tempt him away. They look set for promotion back to the Premiership and are probably the biggest club in the Championship.

    One thing that could keep Beckford at Leeds is that he could win a medal, something not certain at Newcastle as he might not get the games. Another thing is, moving on a Bosman would make him considerably richer than not doing.

    If he wins us promotion and leaves then good luck to the lad, though I highly doubt he is a Premiership striker. I think its very much short-term thinking if Newcastle snap him up.

    I remember Jason Scotland of Swansea being in a similar situation a few years ago, he stayed the season after!

    Interesting thread. First of all Leeds haven''t taken their foot of the gas! We played with 4 reserve defenders against easily the best attacking team in this division (they''re shite defensively but thats another matter) couple that with the fact that we didn''t play particularly well, yet we still got a point!

    We don''t play a single team in the top half of the table (except the rearranged Swindon game) between now and end of January and I fully expect us to be a long way ahead come that point.

    For the record I think you''re nailed on for 2nd if you keep up the way you''re playing but everyone says Leeds can''t keep their form up, yet you''re the form team!! We have a squad that dwarfs the rest of this division in terms of numbers and quality so injuries and suspensions will affect us little.

    Oh and to the poster talking about bidding for Beckford... why would he be unsettled by a bid from a lower ranked team when he could be on the verge of his 1st professional honour with Leeds United and with all due respect (i don''t wanna cause a big row on what seems to be a decent forum) why would any young, up and coming player leave Leeds United for Norwich City??
