Watch this and believe

On 8th May 2010 we needed a win against Bristol Rovers to ensure promotion to the Championship. Down to 10 men after Max Gradel got sent off, Bristol Rovers scored 3 minutes into the second half – things were looking bleak and the playoffs were staring us in the face. But something magical happened...
The whole of today's Leeds team should look at this video and take inspiration – the pride and passion this 2010 team displayed resulted in a historic moment for the club. If they show the same character and determination for the next two matches, other results may go our way, then anything can happen.

SKB, we have to prepare to go out and win this game, would you propose that we prepare differently and not aim specifically to win the game?

How ironic that in the commentary at the final whistle he says “Leeds’ League 1 nightmare is over, they can say goodbye to the likes of Exeter, Brentford and Yeovil.....”.....
Mmmm....Brentford ☹️

No I'm just thinking if they beat Ipswich on Saturday we could rotate Sunday if we wanted to. Suppose preparation up until then will be as normal and will be nice to seal 3rd with a game to spare.

SKB, I'd maybe swap Bamford for Roofe and bring Shackleton on for a half instead of Klich but otherwise I think rest between matches might be more important than resting during matches at this point.

Villa game will be an interesting one.

Assuming Sheff U get 3 points on Saturday, there's an argument that you wouldn't necessarily try all out to win it, and perhaps hold back for a potential play-off against them?

Suspect Villa may play a weakened team, possibly resting Grealish.

Ha, something sadly ironic about that.

What a brilliant day that was! I was in the East stand and remember the roller-coaster of emotions like it was yesterday. Hopefully this season can end in a similar way - even if it has to be through the play-offs.

It's a shame that when you play Villa on the Sunday, Both other clubs will be having their own promotion parties against Blackburn & Ipswich 👏👏👏😂😂

Who knows, say we beat Villa, Ipswich could draw at Sheffield Utd.(86pts for them, 85 for us), then Saturday week Sheff draw again(87 pts), we win again(88 pts) and job done. We all know this scenario would be an absolute miracle and highly unlikely !

There's never going to be any love lost between Leeds and Hudds fans but I don't understand why anyone would want a fellow Yorkshire team to do badly. I was hoping the Terriers would manage to stay up in the hope of seeing two of our county sides in the top flight. I think some supporters forget this football lark is just a game at the end of the day – no bitterness necessary.
