Leeds United legend Lucas Radebe is remaining optimistic regarding the club's survival prospects despite back-to-back thrashings against Crystal Palace and Liverpool respectively.
The Whites have had nine goals wiped off their goal difference after leaking 11 goals in two games. Defeats for each of the four clubs below them in the table ensured that Leeds stay two points clear of danger, but confidence is extremely low at Elland Road right now.
They now have the worst defensive record in the Premier League (60 goals conceded), while doubt over which manager will be in the dugout next season continues to loom over the club.

Radebe has admitted that Leeds must improve defensively, but is still confident that they will be in the Premier League come next season.
"Leeds United - painful loss but I believe we will keep our status come the end of the season. Need to improve defensively. Come on Leeds! #MOT," Radebe tweeted.
The Whites travel to Craven Cottage for a tough contest against Fulham on Saturday lunchtime, before facing crucial fixtures against fellow relegation rivals Leicester City and Bournemouth respectively.
