A patient Leeds United fan

It's been a good 2 weeks for patient Leeds United fans. We have had a good run in the Championship this year - steadily improving to a point where we have been in third place for sometime now and a place in the play-offs for promotion to the Premiership, looks pretty certain. But a place in the first 2, with automatic promotion to the Premiership looked too much to hope for, until recently. Reading are running away with the Championship and because Sheffield United had such a strong start before Reading caught them, Sheffield looked certain to finish second and to get a guaranteed promotion. Leeds were 14 points behind, albeit with a game in hand - but that was just too much to pull back, or so it seemed. Latest Table However, in the last two weeks Sheffield has dropped points and Leeds have picked them up. Yesterday Sheffield lost while Leeds won. So now we are 8 points behind with a game in hand - its looking like a close run thing. Watford are also giving it a good run - but Leeds look like they have a chance to get back into the premier flight, where they belong. But what are the remaining matches? Leeds probably has the toughest run-in, playing 5 out of 11 remaining matches against teams in the top six; 3 of these away from home. Sheffield have a much easier run-in with only 2 matches against the top 6 teams and both of those at home. Critical for Leeds will be the match away to Sheffield on the 18th April. Watford also have an easier run-in than Leeds, with only 2 matches against the top six teams although they are both away, and one is to Reading. Leeds also have an away game to Reading. So now is a time to hope; it's a time of possibilities and patience for all long suffering Leeds fans.
