Leeds United fans back top 10 push as 49ers favour steady steps | OneFootball

Leeds United supporters are setting their sights higher for their second season back in the Premier League, with optimism growing around a top 10 finish this season.

According to Leeds Live, almost 2,700 fans had voted by Wednesday evening, and 46 percent anticipated a top 10 outcome, including seven percent expecting a European place and 30 percent a top 10 finish.

A further 49 percent forecast 11th to 14th, while five percent predicted a worse return than last season, including one percent fearing relegation.

Leeds returned last season with survival the sole target, and Daniel Farke’s side achieved it with games to spare as early concerns eased through the second half of the campaign.

Second-season syndrome remains a media talking point, with many pundits tipping a repeat of 14th or a slip to 15th.

The 49ers have spoken about consolidation and small steps towards becoming top half challengers, and some fans see a pathway after Sunderland finished seventh and Brighton and Brentford cracked last season’s top 10.
