Good Morning. It's Tuesday 16th April, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road...
Do Leeds United have a Plan B?
When Leeds have been playing well, they've been unstoppable, and have motored through their competition like a hot knife through butter, but what happens when they falter? With one win in five, and games running out fast, it seems Daniel Farke has run out of ideas and Leeds out of steam. The petrol light is desperately flashing, yet nobody thought of filling up the tank in January when given the opportunity.
To think they could breeze through the season, with just three loanee's is massively short sighted, especially as they are still recovering from losing 12 first team players who temporarily exited Elland Road last Summer! To say Leeds are predictable is an understatement. Set-pieces and aerial supremacy are a long way down on Leeds agenda, and without any target men to hold the ball up, or cause havoc from corners, their options are extremely limited.
The club failed to prepare for relegation last season, and quite obviously have approached this campaign in the same nonchalant manner! Why don't they learn by their mistakes?
Should Farke stay if Leeds miss out on promotion
Only so much blame can be attributed to the International Break, as Leeds look to recover from their sudden loss of form! Five points from a possible twelve have severely dented Leeds automatic promotion hopes, and Daniel Farke must take his share of the blame. Team selection and substitutions have come in for criticism in recent times, as has his teams set play routines.
Farke has a fantastic reputation for getting out of the Championship, but as things stand, if Leeds do manage it, it will be the hard route! If they fail, should they stick with Farke, knowing that the majority of their better players will depart in the Summer?
