With the March international break in full flow, the timing in some ways couldn’t be worse for Leeds United as the players would’ve wanted to be back on the pitch quickly following defeat to Sheffield United. As it is, we have to wait for the internationals to end before we face Millwall.
On the other side of the coin with ongoing injury issues for manager Marcelo Bielsa, the fortnight break enables us to get more fitness into those returning and get them closer to contention which should suit our purposes as we look to the final run in of the 2018/19 Championship campaign as promotion back to the Premier League is very much still on the cards.
With us not welcoming Millwall to Elland Road until the end of the month, their manager Neil Harris has already begun the usual public relations campaign, describing the match as their ‘biggest game of the season’.
The Leeds fans who took the time to respond on social media, didn’t quite agree.
Leeds away is everyones biggest game of the season

He says this same line every time they play us. Hes even more irrelevant than Lee Johnson. He and Millwall just add nothing to the league.
