Leeds relegation scrap

Vital Reserves Team
If Leeds could not put rubber on the road at home soon, then the reality of relegation battle could sink in soon.
West Ham showed they could play Leeds whole day and still fashion a leisurely win.
Leeds were naive in unlocking defences and badly missing creative maestro Hernandez. Grudge bearing Bielsa should shrug off the hissy strop by Hernandez and take him right out of cold storage.
Although, Hernandez is on the wrong side of footballing age, he is still effective when used judiciously.
For all of Bielsa's tactical mastery, problem with defending from set pieces remain and Leeds are continuously exposed by their makeshift wing backs in EPL.
The passing was abject, lack trajectory and range, distant from those Leeds were accustomed to.
Klitch and Meslier are culpable of passing the team into trouble.
Costa and Harrison and Poveda are unrecognisable as they could not grasp with additional defensive duties of tracking back.
Although Bamford's scoring rate has improved, collectively efforts from the other departments have dried up.

Still 26 more from 26 games needed to stay up.

I think well stay up. 26 pts from 26 should be easy. We have a lot of flaws but so many positives too and if we start improving in those areas, well easy stay up.
 
At the moment, Leeds look more than capable of getting 26 points. But only 7 points separate them from the bottom 3.
If they do get sucked in, there are not many personnel with EPL experience who could bail them out.
