Leeds United are going strong in the Championship at the moment.
The 38-year-old former Leeds and Derby Count midfielder believes that if the Whites can end up in the top six of the Championship this season, then they can go up.
“I think they’re in a similar position to Derby,” Johnson told bwin.com. “If they can get in the play-offs, they can go up.
“You need consistency and if they don’t get it, they’ll finish mid-table. I think Leeds will have a great season and should aim for promotion this year.”
Leeds have a brilliant squad, and their start to the 2017-18 Championship campaign has been stunning.
The West Yorkshire outfit have picked up 14 points from six matches in the Championship so far this season.
The Whites are just two points behind leaders Cardiff City in second place and are playing great football at the moment.
Like other clubs in the division, Leeds will go through a period when they will struggle for results and performances will not be great.
As Johnson says, it is important that Thomas Christiansen’s side are consistent and are able to bounce back from defeats.
The Elland Road faithful should be optimistic of a very successful season in the Championship.
