Phil Hay stated today that Bielsa has been in charge of 78 of Leeds United matches and the team has only ever started 15 games outside the top 2 . And never out of the top 6? How impressive is that? To all those who will now say but we dropped out of th he too 2 when it mattered, that's a fact for last season, but if that was a feature of a manager we were looking to appoint I am sure most on here would be truly happy! I say most!

Although those stats are good they are also very frustrating as we didn't get promoted last season and this season it is now looking iffy
It's even more frustrating because thestandard of the Championship this season is very ordinary
. with a good gk and teliable goalscorer (s) we would be a shoe in for promotion.

A damn good and thought provoking posting.

Raggity 78 league matches. You can use statistics all you like. In fact it only accentuates the main point. Conversion of chances, goals only thing which matters. The ðŸ have genuine firepower and will secure automatic promotion. Playing amazing football isn't required at Championship level. If we get to the PL, it'll serve us well but only goals get us there. Our beauty and strengths are in midfield but it's not what counts at this level. We have a non addressed problem up front and in goal so these stats only frustrate even more!

Raggity we blitz everyone in stats but we all know there's only 1 stat that counts, Win 3 points, Draw 1 point, Loss 0 points, we have been doing a nice bit of the 0points stuff lately and as you well know Sept or October are long gone and most important part of season is now dawning and as of right now we ain't doing enough of the 3 points stuff .
Make what you will of the Bielsa stat, but it will mean nothing come April if he doesn't gain promo, and as you also know he will leave and all his stats will be worthless.

Very impressive it is too raggity, and I understand those who say “but not there when it countsâ€, nonetheless no one can ignore the massive turnaround since Bielsa came and how positive that statistic is. If we had been offered such a return 3 years ago, everyone would have taken it. Personally, re ðŸ, I think they will fall off, and be in the playoffs.

I agree that the only statistic that matters is we are in the top 2 come the end of the season . But based on those statistics there is a good possibility we will . George oufirepower or lack of ut hasn't done us badly based on t, he stats! As for the bees frontline was they playing Tuesday, I only noticed the guy who was gifted their goal . Plus at no point I can remember this season have they been above us, or last season come to think of it!

Bielsa in my opinion is the best thing to happen to us in many years, I pray he succeeds this season as him leaving us is not worth thinking about . I really believe the best teams will go up, I can't see us failing . Blind faith maybe, wishful thinking maybe, but a real possibility also MOT.
