It’s clear from the above responses that these fans have been left frustrated by the fact that they are having to play after those in pursuit of them a number of times between now and the end of the season. Marcelo Bielsa’s side are just a solitary point ahead of Slaven Bilic’s West Bromwich Albion in the race for the title and believe the scheduling puts them at a disadvantage. Fans continued to respond.

The Whites currently hold a seven-point lead over those outside of the automatic promotion places and despite having to play last, the Leeds fans will be hoping that is enough to ensure they earn promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since they were relegated in 2004.
