Just read it, felt I had to make the comment at the bottom that Cardiff also didn't have a high-scoring player all season.

Good fair article all around though.
 
Completely fair and balanced review. Whilst other teams blew hot and cold - brilliant for 2 months and then dire for 2 - it was ourselves and Cardiff who just plodded on grinding out results with consistency. Is it the case that our longest winless streak came at the very end of the season and totalled just 4 games? If you do that then you're doing ok.
 
Sums our season up perfectly, consistently under estimated, viewed with almost disdain by the media and FL show in particular but bottom line is we got the job done.
 
Most factual article I have read about us since we won promotion. Consistency and astute management supported by the Allams saw us through in the end whilst the other contenders flattered to deceive.

well written!

to be pedantic though, it's harakiri not harikiri

Though it's generally written as harakiri, it's actually just an English spelling of a Japanese word, so there is no formal correct spelling.

It's like Gedo/Geddo, or Elmohamady/Al-Muhammadi, which are just English spellings of Arabic words.
 
It does miss that, with a young team, Hull City on occasions played fluent, scintillating and once or twice really breathtaking football.
Yes they did.
I have to pinch myself but they did.
 
Very fair article...especially coming from a Leeds fan. I think our mainly young team with Aluko back will surprise the doubters next season. We've shown we can play good football and the more open play in the Prem should suit us.
 
Very good article, And over the season we probably deserved it. That said, if Watford had hit form a few weeks earlier then I think we'd have struggled to make Automatic promotion. And I think we need some very good signings this summer to compete next season.

We're not as bad as you all think us Leeds fans. We'll even help out other teams once in a while!

It's a very good article and it also sums up the league perfectly. Interesting though that both promoted teams didn't have one player between them with a goalscorer in double figures. I doubt thats hardly happened before if at all.

Just goes to show you don't necessarily need a 20 goals a season man.

Slightly misleading I think, as if they'd signed Campbell say a month earlier he definitely would've done. He's undoubtedly a 20 goal a season striker at this level, probably the best striker in the division, and he saw them over the line. They just didn't sign him early enough to get 20 goals.

Equally if Aluko had stayed fit he'd have got another two goals.
