Our Leeds fans here in the Transfer Tavern are trying to remain upbeat as we head into the final couple of games in the Championship this season.
The Whites have had a good year, in truth, but they’ll surely be sorely disappointed if things don’t end in a play-off challenge with them now just outside the top six.
Indeed, losing to Wolves and Burton respectively has really put them on a back-foot and now all they can hope for is a strong finish with one of the sides above them flopping.
Of course, that all remains to be seen right now but in the meantime a stat has emerged highlighting just how good the club has been – defensively at least.
Indeed, as per @LUFCDATA on Twitter, the Whites are the third best side in the division when it comes to keeping things tight at the back:

Naturally, then, there was a reaction to this and so here is the best of what was said:
@LUFCDATA @SkyBetChamp Chris Wood, Rob Green and the back 4 are promotion standard, rest of the team is lower midtable.

@FaxBrony @LUFCDATA @SkyBetChamp I’d put Ronaldo vieira in the promotion standard myself, Pedraza looks like he has potential too.

@LUFCDATA @SkyBetChamp Best defence in league imo – if we’d had better midfield would’ve been much lower than that

@LUFCDATA @SkyBetChamp A good stat to pump optimism back into us. Like it!
