Morning Leeds-in for 9 March: Just how bad has it been for Leeds United?

Leeds are lucky that the matches played in August and September have given the team a cushion.

Well, this is just a depressing stat.

Despite being around the playoff places for months this season, Leeds have been on an absolute dire run of form lately. Sacking Thomas Christiansen hasn’t had the effect that everyone thought it would have had, and the club is still looking for answers during this long, dreadful spell.

Will a trip to Reading start to turn things around? Or should Leeds do just enough to prevent relegation and press the reset button in the summer? This is almost the same squad that was top of the league back in August.

What the hell happened?

On to the links.
