Leeds United have now shipped 11 goals in their last two home home matches, with little sign that they’ve improved since Marcelo Bielsa was sacked. twoht

The anger felt by so many supporters when Bielsa was removed from his position might have been somewhat ameliorated had his successors been more successful, but this has pointedly not been the case.
Javi Gracia looked shell-shocked in his post-match interviews, and who could blame him? Leeds had won their last game before the Palace game with an intense performance against fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest, a result which, coming on top of their previous 4-2 win at Wolves, had indicated that a team that has been struggling near to the relegation places for much of the season would have too much about them to end it there.
For those who had fallen in love with Bielsa and the way that he managed their club, this is a difficult pill to swallow. It is clear that the identity that Leeds gained under him was valuable to a lot of supporters, but getting rid of him has brought no improvement whatsoever. This time last year, Leeds were in 16th place in the Premier League, on 33 points and with six games left to play.
The upshot of all this is that for the second year in a row Leeds are involved in a relegation scrap which seems likely to go to the wire, and this means that the future will have to wait again while the present is dealt with. But regardless of the outcome, the end of the season will be upon us in just a few short weeks and the club needs a plan beyond then.
