The2017–18 season sawLeeds United competing in theChampionship (known as the Sky Bet Championship for sponsorship reasons) for an eighth successive season.
Hopes of improving on Leeds' play-off near-miss the previous season took an early blow when managerGarry Monk left to take over at newly-relegatedMiddlesbrough, leaving new ownerAndrea Radrizzani to appointThomas Christiansen as his successor. Their promotion aspirations took another blow whenChris Wood, their top scorer in both of the previous two seasons, refused to sign a new contract and then, a few weeks into the campaign, announced that he would not play for the club again, ultimately resulting in his sale to Premier LeagueBurnley. This, and the injury crisis hanging over from the previous season, forced Christiansen to make a large amount of new signings over the summer, leaving concerns as to whether or not the team could gel quickly enough.
Despite all this, the club had what, in the early stages at least, was an even better campaign than the previous one, with the club topping the Championship for the early months of the season. A slump in form in October was turned around in the following months, and Leeds entered the new year looking in a strong position to challenge for promotion. However, a failure to win any games in January (including a humiliating FA Cup exit to League Two sideNewport County), combined with rumours of unrest in the dressing room, saw Christiansen sacked at the start of February, and replaced byPaul Heckingbottom, manager of Yorkshire rivalsBarnsley. If anything, however, the loss of form that had started under Christiansen accelerated under Heckingbottom, and Leeds only won four more games all season, two of them coming in the last three matches alone, leaving Leeds with the unenviable record of having earned fewer points than any team except for bottom-placedSunderland after Christmas. Many fans were left disillusioned by this turn of events, convinced that the previous season had been a false dawn, and that Leeds were back to the pattern of mid-table mediocrity with occasional struggles against relegation that had mostly marked the 2010s.
Appearances (starts and substitute appearances) and goals include those inthe Championship (andplayoffs),League One (andplayoffs),FA Cup,League Cup andFootball League Trophy.
