Marching on Together

Song: Scenario Rock - Skitzo Dancer

Game: NHL 09
DVD: Pretty Persuasion

With the  season drawing to a close, Leeds United took another step closer to cementing a play-off place. We beat Stockport County 1-0 yesterday, thanks to a Jonny Howson goal. We're currently on an 11 game unbeaten run, which has seen us climb from 8th to 5th, having disposed of teams including promotion chasers, Oldham, Scunthorpe and MK Dons. We may of had a shout at getting 2nd if we had beaten Leyton Orient on tuesday, but managed to squander a 2-0 lead and draw the game.

If we don't let our guard down, it looks like we will be heading to our 3rd play-off in 4 years. Having lost to Watford (for a chance to get back into the Premiership) 4 years ago, and then to Doncaster last season, we must make this one count. We have a good set of players, which will have to show the fight and passion to earn this promotion back to the second tier of English football. I think if we don't go up this season, it could be devastating for the club, as many of our stars including Delph, Howson (pictured) Beckford and Becchio are all likely to attract interest from other clubs.

Obviously, we need to secure the play-off place first, its still very tight at the top and anything can happen, just hope we show the right character to finish the job. When and if that is done, there will be the semi-final of the play-off to contend to before the finale at the home of English football, Wembley. So, its all down to the players now to show us their worth and give their all for the club, to take that first step closer back to the big time. I'm already quite nervous, we can't fail this time. Not much else that us fans can do now but pray an hope and get behind the boys and march on together til the very end. MOT
