Keane hammers nail in Leeds coffin but backs them to beat drop

ROBBIE KEANE may have returned to Elland Road to haunt his former club, but he insists Leeds can still escape the spectre of relegation.

It is now five league games without a win, and three successive defeats under Eddie Gray who on Saturday rounded on his players for the first time since becoming caretaker-manager two months ago.

Gray accused them of lacking the courage and confidence to play, particularly in front of an Elland Road crowd who have backed them to the hilt this season, but who clearly can stomach no more as they voiced their dissent at another abject display.
