AliousThe old sports adage, “It’s not how you start the race but how you finish it,” didn’t apply to Leeds United’s promotion attempt last season.
Their failure was due to both a poor start and a weak finish, winning only once in their final six league games.
This season, after four games, Daniel Farke’s team sits fourth in the table with eight points, unbeaten and four points behind leaders Sunderland.
They’re ahead of several strong competitors and well-positioned to progress.
Compared to last season, when Leeds had only five points after four games and quickly fell behind the leaders, this year’s start is much more promising.
While there’s a challenging run of games ahead, the team seems unlikely to replicate last season’s struggles.
Farke appears to have learned from last year’s experiences, successfully guiding the squad through contract issues, player departures, and team reshaping following relegation.
The team looks more settled, and despite some fan frustration during the transfer window, there seems to be a sense of calm within the club.
Although Leeds has again faced a challenging summer, they appear better equipped to handle it this time.
Their solid start to the season helps, and a win against Burnley in their next home game could quickly push the summer’s difficulties into the background, replacing them with excitement for the season ahead.
