Leeds United’s automatic promotion rivals Ipswich Town have a new injury concern over a star man on the back of Saturday evening’s 3-3 draw at Hull City. Former Leeds youngster Leif Davis has continually excelled for Kieran McKenna’s side this season, the 24-year-old named in the Championship team of the year and the only Tractor Boys player to be included in that XI. Left back Davis made his 41st league start of the season in Saturday evening’s huge clash at Hull but the defender rolled his...
Farke’s Whites headed for Friday night’s Championship clash at Queens Park Rangers looking to pull four points clear of Ipswich Town in the division’s second automatic promotion place yet instead suffered their heaviest loss of the season via a 4-0 defeat. Speaking on Sky Sports, former-Whites star Beckford admitted that the performance and setback left him scratching his head. Beckford, though, says Farke deserves huge credit for turning relegated Leeds around to amass 90 points so far this...
At 22 years of age Summerville is rightly considered among the Championship's brightest young talents. On Sunday he won the division's Player of the Season award but this is his first ever season as a first team regular starter. He was certainly present last season in the Premier League, but started just 12 times in his 28 top flight appearances. It was only the club's relegation, the arrival of Daniel Farke and Summerville's contentment to stay put that all lined up and presented the...
Leeds United's hopes of automatic promotion took a huge blow on Friday night at QPR. It was a performance that failed to inspire and the result leaves Leeds needing results elsewhere to go their way over the next week. It's not over yet, of course, but if Ipswich Town win their two games in hand it will be. The Whites are now at the mercy of the Tractor Boys results and they'll be praying Kieran McKenna's side fall short at Hull City this evening and again against Coventry City on Tuesday...
Leeds United moved back into the Championship's automatic promotion places with a thrilling 4-3 success at Monday night's hosts Middlesbrough in which star man Crysencio Summerville added to his brilliant tally with a double. Leeds squandered two good chances in the fourth minute as Ethan Ampadu failed to get a free header on target and Georginio Rutter then sliced a volley on the follow-up attempt. Instead, Boro went ahead just three minutes later through Isaiah Jones who tapped home into an...
United’s under-18s visited Blackburn Rovers under-18s on Saturday afternoon in the under-18s Premier League North and fought back from 2-0 down to leave with a 4-2 victory in which Devon Brockie notched a brace. Leeds were 2-0 down inside 39 minutes after Joe Boggan netted twice for the hosts but Brockie pulled a goal back for the young Whites two minutes before the interval. Brockie’s second goal of the game then drew United level just seven minutes later, arriving from the first of two Josh...
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna never expected to be involved in a promotion race but now looks set to pip Leeds United to a top-two finish in the Championship, following Tuesday’s massive win at Coventry City. Ipswich took a massive step towards their second automatic promotion in as many seasons after beating Coventry City 2-1 at the CBS Arena. Kieffer Moore and Cameron Burgess were on hand for the Tractor Boys, scoring either side of half-time. Haji Wright’s drilled effort cancelled out...
Marti Cifuentes has taken the opportunity to stress to his players that QPR are not safe from relegation just yet. The west London outfit are 18th in the Championship table at present but they remain just four points above the relegation zone. Of course, it would take a big turnaround for the Hoops to drop into the bottom three over the final two weekends of the season, but mathematically it remains a possibility heading into tonight's fixture with Leeds United at Loftus Road. As such, the...
Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick was left frustrated by a 'massive' offside decision that went Leeds United's way in their 4-3 Riverside win. A madcap game saw Boro take an early lead through Isaiah Jones before Crysencio Summerville's penalty and Patrick Bamford's goal against his former side swung things towards the visitors. Carrick's men hit back through Emmanuel Latte Lath's long-distance strike, only to fall behind once more when a clearly offside Willy Gnonto smashed home to make it...
Leeds United have the opportunity to get their promotion push back on track on Monday night when they travel to face Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium. The Whites have won just one of their last five games in the Championship and they have seen their hopes of automatic promotion take a hit as a result. But they know that picking up maximum points over their remaining three games would give them a very good chance of claiming a spot in the top two come May 4. The pressure is building and...
Chris Wilder is the man to lead Sheffield United back into battle again next season, according to one of the few shining lights of a difficult season for the Blades. The Premier League struggle was completed on Saturday, with relegation confirmed but already thoughts turn to next season and the challenge of the Championship. Speaking at The Star Football Awards, having picked up Sheffield United Player of the Year, Jack Robinson reflected on a disappointing campaign as a whole, but spoke of his...
Leeds United have been sent a play-off warning by former Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill as they stare down the barrel of the Championship’s showpiece lottery. The Whites still have a chance of securing automatic promotion, but with Ipswich Town only needing four points from games against Coventry City and Huddersfield Town, it looks as though it could be a long shot. Daniel Farke’s men have been left praying for a Coventry City win on Tuesday night to remain ahead in the race heading into the...
