The Official Leeds United Thread
Discussion
Pretty predictable final outcome today. Congrats to Ipswich, they're the most deserving of all the teams to have won automatic promotion. To get back to back promotions out of the most competitive league on much less budget than Leeds, Leicester and Southampton is an incredible achievement.
So how are we feeling ahead of the play-offs?
Playing well I still think we're capable of going up but in the last few games of the normal season the team looked like it had gone mentally and I think it will now take some inspirational management from Farke to get them firing for the play-offs; hopefully he can do it but to be honest I'm not holding my breath given our recent performances.
I obviously hope I'm wrong but I think Southampton will eventually take the third promotion place and I'm not sure we'll even get past Norwich to make it to the final. If we perform at Carrow Road tomorrow the way we did at QPR a couple of weeks ago the semi-final could be as good as over before a ball's even kicked in the return leg at Elland Road...

Rutter...oh my...what a performance, unplayable.
He's a confidence player, but unplayable is exactly what he is when he's at his best. He should be for £30m though! Just needs to find a bit more consistency and improve his decision making to become a top level player, he has all the attributes.It's easy to get carried away after a night like last night, but we have a massive opportunity if we achieve promotion. Last time we went up with a team just reaching the end of their peak years and the terrible recruitment in our third Premier League season cost us. If we can go up next Sunday and keep this young team together, we've got a much stronger foundation to build on.
