FanView: Why Paul Heckingbottom's Leeds Should Be Title Contenders Next Season

Since his arrival, Paul Heckingbottom has slowly but surely seen progress in his Leeds United side. After an unlucky 2-1 defeat to Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United, Leeds have since gone unbeaten against fellow promotion hopefuls Bristol City, Derby County and Brentford - barring the recent, and seemingly anomalous, 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Middlesbrough.

Leeds were even 2-0 down at home to Bristol City when a rapturous atmosphere at Elland Road surged the Whites to get two goals in the space of fifteen minutes, and the West Yorkshire outfit were inches away from snatching all three points when target man Pierre-Michel Lasogga smashed the bar with the final kick of the game.
