These West Brom and Fulham fans react as Leeds win 2-0 and go top
The Championship is a funny old league but one thing has been constant through the ups and downs of the rollercoaster ride – Leeds United have been posting the best stats all season.
They actually make for frightening reading and if Leeds had a better conversion rate we’d probably already be promoted.
Check these stats out from LUFCDATA and try and work out why some Leeds fans were criticising Marcelo Bielsa a few weeks ago.
And, while other teams are still faltering, Leeds have hit the front.
Five wins, five clean sheets and, dare we say it, Championship winning form.
Actually, we don’t dare say it but we’re happy to defer to fans from our closest rivals, Fulham and West Brom.
They both dropped points again this weekend, both drawing, and plenty of fans from both clubs have given up on Leeds and are focusing on each other for the last remaining automatic promotion place.
We’ll say it again, we don’t care if Leeds go up first or second as long as we go up, but the Championship trophy would be just reward for Marcelo Bielsa, who often has lack of silverware thrown at his record.
Here’s a selection of tweets from West Brom and Fulham fans that will make for great reading for Leeds supporters, players, Bielsa and Andrea Radrizzani and Victor Orta…
First Fulham, who are probably the only side that can catch the top two now…
Then the Baggies – and they’re only a point behind…
Meanwhile, the majority of the Leeds fans are refusing to get drawn into the debate.
It’s a game at a time, but, if we win the next two, including the game against Fulham, that could change.
