Leeds kept pace with the top two in the Championship with an unconvincing 2-0 victory over relegation threatened Queens Park Rangers at the weekend. Since returning to the second tier of English football, the Whites have been tagged as the protagonists of the division; pushed forward on every possible occasion to showcase their talents in-front of the TV cameras, but perhaps not for much longer!

Whilst dominating possession, Farke's lacklustre and somewhat awkward approach to games this season has even spread uneasiness within the supporters ranks and dampened the atmosphere around Elland Road. Opposing teams are more than happy to give Farke's men the Lions share of possession, then team up in numbers against them in the final third and take the ball off them. Add to the equation amateur dramatics (from the opposition), woeful finishing and more retreats than a weekend away at the Cotswolds - then you have a pretty good idea of a Leeds fans perspective of the 2024-25 Championship season thus far.

As for the match, Arronson rattled the cross-bar early on, before Bogle doubled his tally for the season, smashing the ball into the roof of the net (19mins) at close range, after Rangers failed to clear their lines. The game was made safe deep into injury time when substitute Joel Piroe finally put the Hoops out of their misery.

There are times that you have to show a 'gritty resolve', and 'grind out a win' - this was neither. We don't expect the free flowing inventive football we were treated to by Bielsa, but surely with the talent on view, we deserve a lot better than this!
