Despite being the third worst club in the division on form over the last 6 games? (yes, WORSE than Town!) There's only Cardiff who have conceded more than them in that period, they've utterly fallen apart defensively and its impacted their ability to get forward in numbers. Norwich to win by simply being defensively sound, and then on to face Southampton in the final looks most likely. None of them are in any kind of form Norwich 1 win in 5 and the other two have 2 wins in 5. As for being defensively sound, they've conceded 20 goals more than Leeds. It is West Brom who you could call defensively sound having conceded only 4 more than Leeds I just think the quality Leeds have will get them through in these tight games. You’re talking about over the season and boosted by good runs of form. Leeds have fallen apart.

Leeds will win the play offs quite comfortably Not the way they’ve been playing recently. Many of the Leeds fans I know don’t want to go up this time. Loads on SM calling for Farke's head yesterday, although many believe he will walk regardless & make his way back to the fatherland.......Possibly leaving only 3 Germans left in England, Danny (SW), Oli (CP) & Dave.

Leeds seem the least optimistic and the most fragile of the four teams.
They edge Southampton in terms of quality but the playoffs need more than good players.
We also all know that the atmosphere at bellend road can go very sour if they aren’t performing

If it’s tight they’ll fold in front of their own fans as usual but I don’t care that much. If they go up they’ll only get battered again and as a fanbase they can’t deal with that either.

We probably won't be playing them for a few seasons so who cares?

Leed's local rivals are now the Sheffield clubs not us. Bradford's our rival now.

They're in terrible form and may take it into the playoffs, the playoffs dont always go according to many peopele's expectations though, all four playoff teams have got a second bite at the cherry and i genuinely wouldnt like to predict who's going to make it.

Not just about Leeds, but what a state Yorkshire football has been in for the last 30+ years.
When was the last time 2 Yorkshire clubs were in the top division together? Maybe Leeds and the Blades recently for one season, but I think it’s been the case for years where we’ve only had one team up there.
Compare this with football in the NW.
Yorkshire teams have been a bit shit for many yrs, so strange that I want them to remain shit for another 2-3 weeks… 😉

Conceded once in the three play off games We weren't a team that was trying its best to actually get automatically promoted and crumbling at the effort of failing to do so.

Look at the bands the NW has produced over the last 50 years compared to our output.

Well worth a read. www.theguardian.com/books/2016/dec/17/a-yorkshire-tragedy-anthony-clavane-review-sporting-powerhouse

Would any of you feel comfortable backing Leeds to win the play offs? I certainly wouldn't.
On paper, the best squad in them but they do bottle their play offs & the "supporters" don't help them either - can still remember the abuse they gave their team after last year's relegation. If anyone can score first against them the fans go quiet, if they go 2 down they just get downright nasty with them - all good if going well but awful when not.
I think they'll beat Norwich, as the Canaries concede too many goals but I'd fancy either WBA or Saints to beat them in a play off.

It would be fitting for us Town fans for a certain Mr Wagner to knock them out of the playoffs in the semis 😉 However, in the predicament we currently find ourselves in, we can’t really take any pleasure from a third position and the opportunity to compete in the playoffs 🤷♂️

Leeds fans are dreading the play offs and everywhere i go with my work people are wanting them to fail. So much for the Mighty Leeds Utd , their fans are still living in the early 70's and i believe their wanting to build on to the Big Yellow Skip to bring their capacity up to 55,000,why do they want all those empty seats for.

Nice one Kev and Co 👍 Recall Sunderland having to play newcastles under 23s a few years ago , absolute nightmare if a fixture and one we would probably lose , Sunderland won 4 nill , but it’s a fixture you really don’t want.

Can anyone remember when we 1st started singing this to L33DS lot? Pretty sure it was the eighties some time......Like 'Merry Xmas everybody', a tune no one gets tired of hearing annually.

No but I remember it being resurrected in full gusto in 2014 when McDermott was sacked on the Friday and reinstated by the Saturday. We also sung "Ross McCormack, he don't want to play" after he'd tried to force his way out the day before. We lost 5-1. McCormack scored a hat-trick.

Not that any of us are that interested, but one can also say the same about Yorkshire Rugby League teams being crap, compared that is to their Lancashire counterparts. Not to mention Yorkshire cricket, which has, as in recent times been shown, been shooting itself in the foot for decades. Ever since the spats of Boycott and Close, they've been mostly rubbish. Also of course since the days of players having to be born in each County to represent the County. Even so, way underperformed the last 60 years for a County of it's size. There must be something in the water this side of the hills.
