Many Leeds fans saying same thing about promotion bid after West Brom win 2-0 v Derby
Leeds United fans are feeling the pressure after West Brom moved top of the Championship table by beating Derby County on Wednesday.
Grady Diangana and Dara O’Shea scored in each half as the Baggies won 2-0 and went two points clear of Leeds, who have dropped down to second ahead of their clash against Stoke on Thursday.
It might be a bit over-the-top to say that the clash with Stoke is a ‘must-win’ for Leeds because they will remain in the top-two no matter what in time for this weekend’s round of fixtures.
But winning that game will be massive and would leave them needing just seven points to seal promotion from what is left to play.
Leeds fans are definitely feeling that pressure after West Brom’s result on Wednesday and here is a selection of their tweets:

Leeds should beat Stoke on Thursday night.
Michael O’Neill’s side had a good result at the weekend but they are a team who could get relegated coming up against a team that should win automatic promotion.
However, this is the Championship we’re talking about here.
No Leeds fan needs to be told that anything can happen in this league and we should prepare for every eventuality.
Supporters might be feeling the pressure and the players might be too but we bet that one man is as cool as a cucumber right now and probably doesn’t even know the West Brom-Derby score from Wednesday.
That man is the man that matters most. Marcelo Bielsa.
In other Leeds United news, one Stoke player could force Bielsa into a tactical rethink on Thursday.
