Leeds' big aim this season will be to make more headlines on the pitch than off it. The antics of owner Massimo Cellino were the big talking point as he was banned from running the club for a period after dispensing with manager after manager. He has made another change over the summer with Uwe Rosler arriving at Elland Road and the German knows what it takes to perform in this division. The significant signings appear to be midfielder Tom Adeyemi from Cardiff and Chris Wood from Leicester, the latter a prolific goalscorer at this level who should be able to cure the Whites' lack of goals last term. Leeds will hope to use the passionate home crowd to their advantage again this year and restore the fortress that Elland Road used to be.

Target


The play-offs may beyond them but that will be the expectation from both fans and owner.
