Former Leeds United man says club failed to heed warnings from previous relegation scrap

Former Leeds United shot stopper Paul Robinson says they didn't learn their lesson from last year's relegation battle. The Whites survived on the final day of the 2021-22 campaign with a win over Brentford, with Newcastle beating Burnley to send the Clarets down.

However, Vincent Kompany's side will replace Leeds in the top flight next season after romping to the Championship title. The Whites were relegated with 31 points and had the unwanted tag of worst defensive record in the division having conceded 78 goals - five more than basement side Southampton.

Last season's boss Jesse Marsch was shown the boot after a dismal run of form by February this season, replaced by Javi Gracia who was also unable to get a tune out of the Whites' squad. Sam Allardyce came in for the final four game of the season but the damage was already done.
