At the end of this season, Leeds United was reduced to the laughing stock of the Championship when Ipswich Town ended with 96 points, missing out on automatic promotion with 90 points.
The Whites play Norwich City away from home on Sunday, less than a day away from beginning their hopefully fruitful postseason campaign.
Even though he has a point total that would be more than sufficient in most seasons, Daniel Farke has a significant work ahead of him to turn the team around after missing out on the top two.
Kayden Jackson of Ipswich makes fun of Leeds United
Leeds was once again the center of attention last weekend when the Tractor Boys defeated Huddersfield Town to clinch promotion.
As Luke Woolfenden was being questioned on the open-top bus in Ipswich, the conversation was cut short by Bradford-born striker Kayden Jackson, according to Sky News cameras.
The 30-year-old shouted into the microphone, “Leeds are in the playoffs,” and “Leeds are falling apart again,” and reporter Paul Gilmour then asked that this particular clip be removed from the tape:

It appears like Kayden Jackson may not be going to the PL in the first place.
This Ipswich team is happy not only because they are making fun of Leeds, the current “in thing,” but also because they have been promoted.
Jackson’s excitement to mock Leeds’ elimination from the automatic promotion race, meanwhile, doesn’t seem to last long given his lackluster chances of making it into the top flight.
The striker may be saying goodbye to Portman Road as his contract is up in the summer, as seen by this Instagram post he made:
In the wake of his promotion, he played coy about playing in the top flight with Ipswich as well (via EADT):
“This season, we understood what we could accomplish and we had faith in the group and in each other.
Yes, it would be difficult and complex, but we remained concentrated and kept our heads down. We were aware of our collective potential.
“So, you know how exceptional Kieran McKenna is, I wouldn’t put anything past his team.
Furthermore, I wouldn’t rule anything out for this group.
Thus, he might not even be able to enjoy the culmination of it all after all the wind-ups and mockings, which have obviously worked on a disgruntled Leeds fanbase.
