Leeds fall apart

Another "must win" disappears without victory. Leeds fall 4-1 to Bournemouth. A William Butler Yeats inspired review of what's happening in Yorkshire

Losing and flailing in the widening table.                                                                                 The midfield cannot hear the manager;                                                                                  Things fall apart; the centre backs always fold;                                                              Mere anarchy is loosed upon Meslier;                                                                                 The April goals-against record is broken, and everywhere                                          Clubs roll them past Leeds United;                                                                                      The best lack any support, while the worst                                                                     Seem afraid of showing intensity.

Surely now relegation is at hand;                                                                                     Surely the Second Tier is upon them                                                                                   The Second Tier! Hardly are the words uttered                                                             Before the looming image of Orta, Rads & Kinnear                                                          Troubles all vision; somewhere in the expanse of Yorkshire                               Supporters continue to shout                                                                                            What the fuck is going on here?                                                                                         Luke Ayling says don’t mind them, while all about the club                                         Bleeds the rampant loss of belief once built by Bielsa;                                                    The darkness returns; certainly familiar and possible                                                     That after a few years away                                                                                           Without fight or valiance mustered;                                                                                These aren’t the guys, to keep the Premier League at bay                                                   Or Leeds from slouching deep into the Championship
