HOW would you approach the final four games of the season? Would you want to stick with the core players who got you there and ensure they stay in a good rhythm? Do you rotate heavily to preserve legs for the play-offs and avoid injuries? Would you go all out for the top two? There […]]]>

IT started with a modest draw on January 13, 2018 against Preston North End, before a wild afternoon at Elland Road. It ended with the Lions punching themselves out against Fulham at The Den in April.  Seventeen games. Eleven wins, six draws. Twenty-seven goals scored, eleven conceded.
