If, from this position, we are going to submit to the pressure of getting
promotion over 46 (or even 49) games as the rules stated at the start of the
season I don't fancy our chances in the pressure-cooker that is the Premier
League.
Here's hoping the players are less pessimistic than you, Rob.

As a paid up member of the Grumpy Old Men Society, it is not surprising
that I mutter "the world's gone mad" about three times a day.........but
having said that, I really do think that the amount of delusional thinking
in all walks of life nowadays has reached, well dare-I-say-it pandemic
proportions.
And one example of such is all these Leeds fans and players who are
blathering about wanting the season to be completed and to "earn promotion
on the pitch." They are completely deluded.
If it does restart, this huge hiatus will have only ramped up the
psychological pressure on the Leeds players. After weeks of reading and
hearing how a) promotion was almost in the bag when it stopped, b) if it
starts again promotion will be a formality, or c) the season should be
stopped and Leeds should be handed promotion already, there will be massive
pressure on the players if they actually do have to go out and do it on the
pitch.
I could easily see a superhyped-up Cardiff beating us in the first match.
Imagine if we then do one of our classics and batter Fulham but fail to
finish any moves and they get two chances all game and Mitrovic puts them
both away.
PRESSURE!
And we showed in the playoffs last year that we have the capacity to
completely fold when the pressure really mounts. Pablo, for example, was a
complete liability in those last few games. A bowl of jelly would have
contributed more. Dallas, with his experience of big International
occasions, was the only player who reacted well to the pressure.
Anyway, that's why I've got everything firmly crossed hoping the season
will NOT get finished.
