Leeds United paid the price for a slow start last season, but Danny Mills is confident his former club will bounce back from their play-off disappointment
A strong start to the 2024/25 Championship season is essential if Leeds United are to win promotion back to the Premier League at the second attempt. That is the view of former Whites defender Danny Mills as the new campaign draws ever closer.
Speaking The Real EFL, Mills said: “Leeds know what to do to get promoted. They were so close last season, whether the pressure just got to them in the end, I am not sure. One issue that Farke had was the merry go round this time last year at the start of the season. You need on average two points a game to get promoted and last year Leeds United didn’t start well at all. It took time to get them going.
“Now, a play-off defeat is hard to get over, but Leeds must start the season well. It’s important they get up and running quickly and getting points on the board. Pre-season is big for them, to ensure they are ready to go from the opening day. Leeds will have pressure, but they have a good enough squad to start the season well.”
Mills told Football League World: “He has good potential and this can be a good signing for Leeds United. With other players potentially departing, recruitment is key, and it's vital Leeds United look to strengthen the squad with quality as they must start the season better than last year.Get Leeds United news to your phone with our WhatsApp community Want the inside track on transfers?
