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...
Leeds United’s under-21s enjoyed a much-needed big boost as a young centre-back dazzled and a midfielder bagged a quickfire brace. United’s under-21s approached Monday lunchtime’s Thorp Arch hosting of Derby County’s under-21s having lost six games on the bounce and sat bottom of the Premier League Two table but with games in hand. Leeds, though, knew that victory against second-bottom Derby would take them up above the Rams and a Joe Snowdon double helped the Whites to a 3-0 victory in which...
Erik ten Hag will be sweating on the fitness of four Manchester United stars ahead of this evening’s Premier League clash against Sheffield United. Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay are all doubts for the visit of Chris Wilder’s side, having picked up knocks during Sunday’s dramatic FA Cup win over Coventry City. Manchester United threw away a two-goal lead and had to play through extra-time before winning on penalties. United have enjoyed an extra day’s...
Borussia Monchengladbach sporting director Roland Virkus has suggested that Leeds United will not budge on their valuation of the on-loan Max Wober. Wober was one of several Leeds players to force an exit from Elland Road last summer due a clause in his contract, following relegation from the Premier League. The Austrian was initially tipped as one to potentially remain but interest from a top-flight German side turned his head and a move to Monchengladbach was swiftly secured. Since joining...
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...
QPR defender Steve Cook has no intention of entering the final round of Championship fixtures with the club's relegation fate still in the balance. The west London outfit host Leeds United on Friday night and they know a win over Daniel Farke’s side would be enough to secure their spot in the second tier for another season. Marti Cifuentes' side are currently 18th in the Championship, but they sit four points off the drop zone and with two games remaining, there is a possibility they could be...
Boss Kieran McKenna has refuted an Ipswich Town suggestion and says pressure for promotion is not on his side. Defeats for Ipswich’s key promotion rivals Leeds United and Leicester City offered McKenna’s side the chance to pull three points clear at the top of the Championship on Saturday afternoon but the Tractor Boys had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Middlesbrough. McKenna, though, insisted that that a second consecutive draw did not leave him frustrated and said there could not be...
Leeds United are back in action on Friday night, facing a quick turnaround following Monday night’s big away win over Middlesbrough. The Whites went behind early against Boro but fought back and wound up winning 4-3, moving into the top two, where they hope to stay between now and the end of the season. Ipswich Town have a game in hand, which they will play next week, while Leeds will also play first this weekend, facing QPR away from home on Friday. Ahead of the Whites’ trip to the capital, we...
A Crysencio Summerville double and goals from Patrick Bamford and Willy Gnonto did the job for Leeds, but they made life incredibly difficult for themselves. Boro went ahead when Emmanuel Latte Lath went clean through and though he couldn’t finish, Isaiah Jones was on hand to find the net. Summerville’s penalty and Bamford bundling in a Junior Firpo cross swung the game Leeds’ way, before Lath equalised from outside the area. Gnonto scored from a clearly offside position to put Leeds back in...
Whites boss Daniel Farke has made two changes to his Leeds United team for tonight’s huge Championship clash against Middlesbrough at the Riverside. Farke had made three changes to his side for last weekend’s hosting of Blackburn Rovers as Joel Piroe, Willy Gnonto and Connor Roberts all came into the side and Patrick Bamford, Dan James and Glen Kamara dropped to the bench. Roberts has since suffered a muscle reaction following his injury return and had already been ruled out of tonight’s contest...
