Ayling - we should have a few more points on the board

Leeds vice Captain Luke Ayling has been speaking to LUTV about their start to the season. The 29 year old believes that although things could be worse, Leeds deserve more points on the board than they already have. Ayling told LUTV...

Overall, I think we’ve started well, but the last two games have been disappointing. To let in eight goals in the Premier League and expect to get anything from it, that’s not going to happen, so we have to tighten up there. We have still been in games though and I don’t think the score-lines have been fair if you really look at it. We’re eight games in and have 10 points, so it’s not the worst start in the world, but certainly inside the dressing room, we think we should have a few more points on the board.

Next eight games of 2020 are critical

We all know that traditionally Leeds tend to wade during the second half of the season. In fact, over the last nine seasons (apart from last season) Leeds would amass between eight and ten points in their last 12 games. Perhaps Bielsa has broken the voodoo, having secured the title for the Whites with games to spare. What is important, is that Leeds don't get dragged down to the dog fight at the pit of the table. Bearing that in mind, let's have a look at the remaining fixtures of 2020.

Home v Arsenal
Away v Everton
Away v Chelsea
Home v West Ham
Home v Newcastle
Away v Manchester United
Home v Burnley
Away v West Brom

Leeds next six opponents all sit above them in the Premier League, not that would have any bearing on results. How many points from their remaining eight games of 2020 do Leeds need, to be comfortable? How many points do you think they'll actually get? If you could attend any of these games, which one would it be?
