After a string of impressive performances, former Leeds United manager Simon Grayson believes that the team has hit their peak at just the right time as they claimed the top spot in the Championship earlier this month. Leeds secured their 12th win in a 13-game unbeaten run against Millwall before the March international break, overtaking Leicester City in the league standings.
Grayson, who led Leeds out of League One in the 2009/10 season, understands the significance of timing in a promotion campaign. He emphasized the importance of Leeds’ recent surge to the top and expressed his preference for their current situation compared to his own experience with Leeds where they stumbled towards the finish line.
The growing optimism at Leeds is starkly contrasted by the frustration at Leicester, where manager Enzo Maresca has faced backlash from supporters for the team’s underperformance. Grayson highlighted the impact of negative sentiments from fans on players and speculated whether it has affected Leicester’s recent results.
As the Championship season reaches its final stages, the race for promotion promises to be exciting with all four top teams in contention. Grayson believes that Leeds’ position at the top bodes well for their chances, while Leicester will need to regroup and focus on getting back to winning ways.
