Leeds had a great home record last season and if they can repeat that then a place in the top six is achievable.
Manager Kevin Blackwell took on a very, very difficult job two years ago when things were still very much in free-fall after their Premiership relegation and has done amazingly well.
It was a real shame what happened in the play-off final against Watford because it took the shine off what had been an encouraging year.
The very manner of the defeat will have left a sour taste in the mouths of some fans. The signing of David Livermore and Kevin Nicholls should improve the midfield, but it is Robbie Blake who I see as the potential key man.
I played with Robbie at Bradford and he is a fantastic talent. A fit and happy Robbie Blake can score 20-plus goals and that is what Leeds badly need now Rob Hulse has gone.
Verdict: Going up.
Thanks to the Yorkshire Post for the above.
