That's a very uplifting watch that.
The madness!!
We were soooo much better than every other team this year, I could do a 30 min edit of all the big chances we missed too - extraordinary season.
Glad we got to 100 points because we dropped at least 10 points with some absolute clangers as well.
It's also good to remind ourselves of the contribution that Ramazani, Gnonto and Joseph made - I'm hoping we keep them and they can step up to the big league.
As ever with Leeds it will be emotional and almost certainly our salvation will go down to the very last game - we would expect nothing less.
Bring it on....

with all respect... what did you expect
joking, good article Farkeness
They'll always be talk about how much better we could have been without Meslier errors, but I wonder how many goals we could have scored if we took some of our excellent chances we missed.
Scary thought how many over 100 we could have got. Anyone know what the record is?

Real, I'm in a minority I think in Leeds fans who don't blame Mes for every thing that went wrong wrong this season. I think our poor finishing at times was the reason we only won the league on the final kick of the season.

Think we'll get between 45 and 50 points this year Sheriff. Tottenham might have gone down this year if we went up last season.

Yeh he looked a prospect 4 years ago.
Opta do an expected points table. Our xg, xg against and expected points are all almost exactly where they ‘should’ be. Ie we scored the right amount of goals for the chances we had, conceded the right amount for the chances we coughed up and got the right amount of points.
We don’t miss proportionally any more chances than the next team, but we created way more chances than anyone else so in absolute terms so maybe it looks like we’re missing too many,
The same table shows we should have been 24 points ahead of second placed Burnley. Both Burnley and Sheffield united massively exceeded on their expected goals against.

And clearly Bristol and Coventry were nowhere near being ready for the Prem...the points difference being the obvious clues prior to the playoffs

Back to the OP - let’s not forget the goal we scored in the FA Cup … 96 reasons to be cheerful😁👍.
watched the video again - great viewing to re-live some of those moments.. the first comment below the video tho I have to say I'm guilty of, and agree with this guy
"Its really easy to forget all that Aaronson does, but when you watch a video like this, you see he's involved in so many goals. He does get pushed off the ball too easily, we can all agree on that, but we don't give him enough credit for what he does do well, which is on display in this fantastic video!"
wonder what his future holds at Leeds?

Assists is the worst stat in football, it doesn't factor in contributions in build up. Aaronson has been lambasted for his lack of assists. For the record his expected assists is much better... it's not his fault if someone misses the chances he creates.
He covers more ground than anyone in the squad, something that is appreciated by coaches more than fans. His runs when we have the ball create space and chances for others, his pressing off the ball forces errors and wins the ball back. His deficiencies seem more obvious to people than his attributes.
Whether he's a good enough footballer to be effective in the PL is another matter but he's definitely been effective for us in the championship.
agree Milks
its my bad this I know, but I still can't take to him on a personal level... I just hope he keeps proving me wrong on the pitch and wins me over once and for all

and absolutely is mate, ever played fantasy football? - kin el, one of my players might run the whole legnth of pitch, flip ball over defenders head, back heel pass to a striker, striker then hit post, rebounds off keeper a 9rse and goes in... zero recognition or points
silly game anyway, always thought that

You are right, Aaronson pops up in a lot of the goals, but he is such a frustrating player. He's got terrific energy but his shooting is woeful and I don't think I have ever seen him head the ball.

Yep. Still too easily knocked off the ball for me (he’s improved in this, but not enough).
Don't agree with much on here about Aaronson.
When i watch back the games he doesn't press particularly well, loses and gets knocked off the ball constantly and has the worst shot on the team.
Hope we don't sign him because he couldn't hack it last time and he hasn't improved.
Sign him?
Problem is, we sell and it affects PSR, amortisation may offset though.
He's played a big part this season but can't see him in the EPL.
