An ex-Leeds United ace has backed the Whites to win the play-offs, dismissing a Whites “hoodoo” but with a big warning to his former club.
Daniel Farke’s Whites needed a final day win against Southampton coupled with a Huddersfield Town at Ipswich Town to grab automatic promotion but got neither and will now face Norwich City in the play-offs. Leeds have a dreadful record in the play-offs, but ex-Whites star David Prutton says that should count for nothing to a professional outfit who he is backed to get the job done. 'Of course you could fancy them to win them,” said Prutton to the YEP.
If Leeds' players are going to sit there and stew in their own juice then they are in the wrong profession. The next game is there to get your stuff back on track. 'They will be favourites for the play-offs because of the size of the club. It makes for a fascinating end of season shake up. I don't think what I have said either helps re-assure Leeds fans one bit because it's still that huge toss of a coin.
