Leeds Update (Again)

One step closer - Leeds defeated Carlisle 2-0 today to win their playoff semifinal series 3-2 on aggregate. They'll play either Doncaster or Southend United in the League 1 playoff final (at Wembley?) next Sunday.

Leeds lost the home leg 2-1 and had to go and grab a win at Carlisle, which had the best home record in the league this season. To make things even more improbable, Leeds's two goals came from midfielder Jonathan Howson, who had scored only three goals all season.

I'll try not to get carried away - this is the same spot Leeds was in in the Championship two seasons back. They lost the final and then promptly bottomed out and were relegated the next season. Still, for now at least - w00t!
