End of Season

I know I haven't posted anything on here for months but I had to put something up for the end of the season. Leeds finished 7th just outside the play-offs even after beating champions QPR 2-1 on the final day of the season. Nottingham Forest beat Crystal Palace (something Leeds were unable to do a few weeks back) to end any slim hopes of sneaking into the play-offs. Now if you would have offered 7th place, I'm sure any Leeds fan would have bit your hand off. But it still feels a bit frustrating because Leeds have been in the play-off places for so long only to slip down the table near the end maybe due to fatigue but mainly because other teams like Reading have hit top form at the right time. Even if we had got into the play-offs, I doubt we would have won as other teams are simply playing a bit better than us. I could say that everyone that voted in the poll is wrong, as to me 7th place isn't mid-table obscurity at all and just missing out on top 6 is very credible. Hopefully with a good manager in Simon Grayson Leeds can build on this and finish higher next season and not stagnate in the Championship. The squad looks good and it annoyed me a little that Grayson kept on getting loan players from the Premiership and putting them into the first team instead of giving other players a chance to prove themselves. He is obviously a big fan of the loan market but you have to use it your advantage. There is no doubt we will get a few new players but only little changes are needed. Howson, Gradel, Becchio, Snodgrass and Schmeichel (despite a few errors near the end) are quality players that deserve a chance in the Premiership with the mighty Leeds United.
