With around 8 matches left, the English football season is drawing to a close. Here are some thoughts of Leeds season and the season in general:
1. VAR has not been consistent. I have not liked VAR for some of the offside decisions that have gone against us. VAR for some penalty decisions has been frustrating.
2. Leeds are close now to my prediction of no red cards for the entire season.
3. Who will go down? I had initially said Sheffield United, West Brom and someone else. I am sticking with that. If I had to guess I would say Fulham is the 3rd team going down. Seem to have lost form at the wrong time.
4. Hope Leeds can get my predicted 55 points. That should get us 9th or 10th place.
5. Here is an interesting stat: As Leeds manager, Bielsa has not lost a single match when leading at halftime.
6. Just want to point out that Leeds winning goals against Sheffield United in the 2 games both came from crosses from Harrison.
7. Thought we have been unlucky in 3 matches: Liverpool (should have been drawn); the two matches against Wolves should have been drawn. Lucky to beat Burnley (should have been drawn). So I think we should be on 43 points.
8. Norwich and Watford will be promoted.
9. I think we will get a specialist left-back in the off-season.
10. Rumors abound that Leeds will go in for a striker. This might not occur. We already have Rodrigo and Bielsa will certainly look closely at Gelhardt and Greenwood.
11. A decision will have to be made on Forshaw and Hernandez. Regrettably, I think both will leave. Hernandez especially has written his name into Leeds folklore and has achieved Leeds legend status.
12. Would like Leeds to go in for a player who can play defensive midfield (phillips position).
13. With Klich, Rodrigo, roberts, shackleton and dallas, I am not sure Bielsa will try to find another attacking midfielder. But, what do I know.
