Heaven will have to wait. Just like 2 years ago the day after Munster won the Heineken Cup spells disaster for Leeds. " years ago they lost 3-0 to Watford and thus missed a return to the Premiership. Watford went straight back down again the following year. This year its the League One play-offs (Division 3 in old money!) Doncaster won 2-1, they simply wanted to win more than Leeds on the day. Leeds played as if the weight of destiny was on their shoulders - they are a club destined to be back in the Premiership - the only question is which century right now. We can say that because they were deducted 15 points before they played a match that thy are a better team - they should have been promoted automatically. Its true that they don't belong there - they just need to win the league outright. Play-offs are mini cup finals in which anything can (and did) happen.
The graph shows Doncaster's progress from the Vauxhall Conference to Championship and Leeds corresponding fall from Champions League semi-final to league One. It all happened in the space of 5 years.
Patience is our middle name! Up Leeds.
