Leeds United’s survival fate is now out of their own hands which is the scary thing.

But that’s not to say for one second that anybody gets too down about it given where they are, what they have done and what the rest of this season could entail.

It could all be a lot of worry for nothing.

But right now what’s in front of them is a tough run of games whilst being surrounded by two teams that have somehow started to pull their finger out.

Did anyone see Everton getting that result against Chelsea? Absolutely not, and it was a great turnaround by Burnley as well to win at Watford.

The more you read about the utter financial armageddon possibly linked with Burnley if they go out of the division is another motivational tool to use.

I think it all means that the mood has changed at Leeds but I don’t think for one second that anybody thought at any stage confidently that the Whites were home and hosed.
