| Every time we lose, I go on the internet the morning after and go on BBC Sport in the vain hope that Powell has finally shuffled off, and each week I am left disappointed. Yesterday was no better or worse than we've managed all season in terms of performance, but it was quite astonishing how easy Leeds found it in the final fifteen minutes. As soon as they tried anything even remotely expansive, we just had no answer. In defence, we seem to expect teams to be as one-dimensional attacking us as we are at them.
We competed for the first twenty minutes of each half, but you just can't allow yourself to be so easily swept away like that. It was embarrassing, sitting in the East Stand, completely outnumbered (2 to 1 at least) by away fans, looking at us as we shouted at the team to pull their finger out, offering us the 'keep the faith' platitudes. Leeds won at a canter and it felt like they barely broke a sweat. Humiliating.
The club can offer as many ticket deals as it wants. It can encourage all of us to bring friends. It can stock the club shop to the gills for us to buy. But why would we? Is there any pride left - at all? I honestly don't think I can bare much more of this.

| How do you think Powell feels when he gets up on a Sunday? Surely he must think Im out of my depth in this job.
I saw him after the game walking round the pitch with J O'C. All I could think of is why are you not talking to the capt, owner, senior players etc rather than a young kid.
Round shouldered , looking at the ground, hands in pockets. He has not standing, aura, doesn't look authoritative, nothing- get you bags packed Powell you are useless.
Why when the young centre went down with cramp on 60 mins didnt he shove Howell to centre and Krasniqi into the pack and get Lovell off. As it transpired Leeds just hammered him. He reminds me so much off McDermott. Very reactive and makes changes when the game has gone rather than be pro active.

| Colly2 has been very insightful in highlighting our problems in the centres. Part of the issue is the combination is never the same one week to the next - Powell simply doesn't have any idea who fits best into what position. He has no firm grasp of the problem, and can't find any solutions. I look forward to Rooster Booster's defence of coaches this week, perhaps this isn't part of their remit.

| A centre in the second row, and an inexperienced centre not (yet) up to Super League standard on the bench! Meanwhile Ben Bolger is sitting in the stands!! Worse than that so is Lamont Bryan!! What has the guy done wrong? You know he can tackle and has bucket loads of enthusiasm.
Will Lovell looks a prospect but not ready for 80 minutes, meanwhile JO'C is completely sapped of confidence in both attack and defence.
I was so angry yesterday. A pedestrian Leeds outfit puts 50 on us. The club is an amateur shambles both on and off the field. I'm not fool enough to applaud a team beaten like this week in and week out off the field, but this is MY game and I will continue to turn up.

| Enough's enough. As long as Powell stays in charge, I'm not going to waste my money going. Right now you can predict our results - we will score 10-12 points and concede 40+. Pathetic.

| Counted approximately 10 morons in the West Stand clapping the team off at full time. Incredible.

It's not Bashing, it is just so many of us are sick and tired of him repeating the same points over and over again and how he has all the answers, then telling us how good he is, I think we have got the point by now and even if we don't necessary agree with he has had his say.
Yes its so easy to fire bullets from thousands of miles away, all I wish GF would accept us mostly we are on the ground and know what is wrong, and don't need to be constantly lectured, I hold my hands up and admit that I do not see all the media or what is happening every week down on the ground and in London, except for what some friends send me and fortnightly or so visits.
I did not clap the team off as I was walking off to get on the road, but it is up to them!

GF would be making these points whether he was in Brentford or NZ. While I don't agree with everything he says give him credit for the passion he shows for the club.
Some on here seem to think everything is going to turn out alright. Personally, I'm not sure the club will recover from this season which has been an unmitigated disaster. The stats don't lie.

| The point of posting the attendance as a positive was because it was the 2nd highest gate at The Stoop this year and 3rd highest 'home' turnout if the Gillingham game is included. I knew I should have added a smilie at the end as I thought that post may be twisted into something it wasn't

You pay to go and support the team how you want and I'll pay to support how I want, quite why the need to insult people like that for clapping the team off escapes me or is a desperate attempt to troll.

So you applauded the team off after that performance? It isn't an insult, personally I think those actions are moronic. As jaybs likes to say, that is my opinion, and you don't have to agree with it.

| I don't agree with your opinion and posted as such, that's the idea of an open forum isn't it?
Your view of people clapping the team off is the same as my view of people shouting 'tackle' and 'show some pride' week in week out for the whole of the match, I prefer to encourage rather than slate them but at the moment neither are working.
