Farke chose not to speak about the play-offs in the wake of Leeds’ 4-0 defeat by QPR last Friday, but did acknowledge the result was an ‘embarrassing’ episode for his side. Damaging as it was to automatic promotion hopes, last weekend at Loftus Road was a perfect example of why the league Leeds find themselves battling to get out of is so revered. The Championship is widely regarded as one of the most entertaining leagues, season in season out; this year has been no different. High drama during...

Sunderland’s dismal Championship form continued as Ryan Andrews’ second-half strike secured a narrow 1-0 win for Watford. Here’s the story of the game and its key talking points from a Sunderland perspective The opening five minutes of this game were played out to the non-stop din of Sunderland fans in the away end singing, ‘Who’s the greatest half the world has ever seen?’ The tributes to Charlie Hurley had begun long before kick off, with a cardboard cutout of the great centre half serenaded...

Leeds United supporters are still coming to terms with their Championship failure. Barring a miracle, the Whites must force their Premier League return via the play-offs following a disastrous showing in West London. Daniel Farke’s men were humiliated 4-0 by Queens Park Rangers in a game they had to win to keep the automatic promotion dream alive. Ipswich Town now boast two games in hand - with Leicester City already promoted - to all but guarantee condemn Leeds to third place. On paper, the...
Sunderland missed the opportunity to move back into the top half of the Championship table on Saturday afternoon as they lost 1-0 at home to Millwall. Mike Dodds’ side had been in fine form prior to the visit of the Lions, but they could do little to prevent Duncan Watmore’s effort deciding the contest at the Stadium of Light. It was a disappointing result and it leaves them sitting 13th, with just two more games to play this season. Sunderland travel to Watford next up before returning to...
Farke watched his Leeds side put in their worst performance of the season at the worst possible time. Sloppy play on and off the ball cost them dearly as QPR raced to a 2-0 lead before the midway point of the first half. Nothing Farke did to try and change the course of the game worked and two goals in the final 17 minutes confirmed the chastening defeat. A half empty away end demanded answers from Farke and the players as they approached at full-time. The result gives Ipswich Town the chance to...
Kristoffer Klaesson has returned to Leeds United and trained well after walking away from a serious car crash in Norway earlier this week.
This is all a bit exciting, isn't it? Two games to go, automatic promotion still possible. It's exciting in the same way that a monstrous rollercoaster is exciting when you finally get to the head of the queue. You know you want the experience, you know you should enjoy it but you know there's a reason for your fear. It's that excitement that turns the stomach just a little. And though the proximity to promotion is not unfamiliar to Leeds fans, it most certainly is for the vast majority of the...
Sunderland will aim to round off a challenging season at the Stadium of Light on a positive note over the next ten days. A season that began with high hopes under Tony Mowbray, was threatened to go of course during Michael Beale’s short-lived reign and has produced mixed results under the interim management of Mike Dodds will come to an end with a visit to Watford on Saturday before Sheffield Wednesday visit the Stadium of Light seven days later. Once the campaign comes to a close on the first...
