It would seem there is now a collective view of happiness and love emanating towards all things Leeds Utd.
The media are talking as if we are already promoted and how much we will add to the PL next season. Bielsa is portrayed as a maverick wonder coach who identified us because of our massive potential and our return to the promised land is almost guaranteed as how could such a god of football possibly fail.
Well, let's just all hold on for minute shall we and take a step back and look at the reality of where we are and where we've come from in such a few short months.
Prior to the season kicking off the general consensus on here was that Orta should have been fired and that Radz was in the last chance saloon. Most of the players were considered not fit for purpose with only 2/3 being deemed good enough to take us forward.
So just to remind everyone, media, fans, posters on here etc etc...if and I mean if, we somehow achieve automatic promotion it would not only be an amazing achievement it would also represent a quite unbelievable turn around in fortunes from a small and totally unfancied squad of players who have somehow managed to maintain their performances and results throughout the season in what is considered the toughest division in world football.
There is also however a sense that if automatic promotion is not secured that somehow the side will have failed ? In part this is being set up by the media to create another Leeds melt down story but also a section of our own fans would undoubtably add massively to the negativity that would but shouldn't prevail if we ultimately end up in the play offs.
In short it's a time to be realistic and see qualifying for the play offs as a massive step forward. Let's support the team fully no matter what the results and if performances dip below expectations then perhaps remember where we were in August before a ball was kicked.
By all means hide behind the sofa, scream at the telly, rage when things don't go our way but most of all keep a sense of perspective and enjoy every glorious moment of this push for promotion. If when the dust has settled we've fallen just short and another season in the Championship beckons then let's laud the players for their efforts, cancel the recriminations and remain firmly behind the club.
MOT.
