Having managed a solitary victory in 12 league matches, few would blame Leeds United fans for allowing pessimism to creep in.
The appointment of Javi Gracia and subsequent win against Southampton has offered fans hope that more wins are on the way, but with the Whites out of the bottom three on goal difference alone prior to this weekend’s fixtures, the task at hand is not an easy one.
But that clearly hasn’t dampened the spirit around the club, and when over 1,000 supporters were asked by LeedsLive to share their views on the remaining months of the season, the outcome suggested optimism is in the Elland Road air.
