After a second successive defeat to Derby County on Tuesday night it leaves Leeds in a precarious position sitting just one point inside the play-off spots. With automatic promotion surely out of reach now it may allow Simon Grayson's side to focus entirely on securing a much craved top 6 finish.
As all United fans will know Leeds love to do things the hard way. But do we have the bottle? Leeds know all about what it takes to get in the play-offs but this time we are far from favourites. Leeds' young side have been doubted all season, but until recently Grayson's valiant fighters have not given anybody anything to doubt, until now! The Whites face a tough challenge at home on Saturday to Watford who are still trying to keep their play-off dream alive however it is becoming ever more unlikely, with the side sitting in 11th place 7 points adrift of 6th placed Leeds.
The time is now for Leeds and everything must be put on the line come Saturday. Captain Jonny Howson never seems to stop driving his side forward. Top goalscorer and fan favourite Luciano Becchio must find his goal scoring touch once more as the seasons close draws near. The great Dane Kasper Schmeichel will be pivotal in shutting out opposing threats. Wingers Robert Snodgrass and Max Gradel must continue to torment if the Whites are to go marching on to the Premier League. If there was ever a time for new signing Ross McCormack to start scoring it has to be now! Finally what can Simon Grayson conjure up as he seeks to take his boyhood club back to top flight?
