After missing out on automatic promotion to the Premier League, Leeds United will now be looking to right their wrongs and build momentum going into the play-offs.
The Whites were in pole position to pip Sheffield United to the final automatic promotion place, before two defeats over Easter opened the door for the Blades to pounce.
Despite being in the top two for vast majority of the campaign, Bielsa's men will now have to pick themselves back up and go again, in their hopes of making a long-awaited return to the top-flight.
They will have to do that via the play-offs, and after no win in their last three games, they will need to use their upcoming trip to Ipswich Town as a real platform to regain confidence.
The play-offs are considered a lottery, but it is a huge test of strength, character and mentality - and Leeds definitely have a player that knows how to cope with the aforementioned demands.

Izzy Brown has endured such a turbulent time since joining Leeds - the Chelsea loanee has played just nine minutes of football for Marcelo Bielsa's men this season, after a dismal spell on the sidelines with injury.
The 22-year-old arrived at Elland Road nursing a knee injury that sidelined him for the second half of last season on loan with Brighton, however, the attacking midfielder then sustained a hamstring injury that halted his progress even more.
But, despite a series of misfortunes this season, Brown could well prove to be Leeds' secret weapon going into the play-offs, having experienced success with Huddersfield Town in 2017.
Brown, who scored four goals in 12 league starts for the Terriers in the build-up to the play-offs, started in each semi-final fixture, and played for 98 minutes as the Yorkshire club defeated Reading on penalties at Wembley.
It remains to be seen whether Brown will be selected by Bielsa going into the final stages of the 2018/19 campaign, but the playmaker has been there and done it before, and knows what it takes to guide Leeds back into the Premier League via the play-offs.
