Norwich City boss David Wagner has delivered his Leeds United verdict with Whites praise but a dangerous warning ahead of facing the club in the play-offs. Norwich fell to a 1-0 loss at Birmingham City in Saturday’s regular Championship season finale but defeat for Hull City at Plymouth Argyle ensured the Canaries finished three points clear in the division’s final play-offs place. Wagner’s side will now face third-placed finishers Leeds, a battle that Wagner is relishing as he welcomes the tag...
Daniel Farke’s Whites needed an Elland Road victory against Southampton plus a Huddersfield Town win at Ipswich Town to jump into the Championship’s second automatic place on the final day. It meant an afternoon of checking phones for Ipswich updates as United's fans prayed for two results to go their way. Instead, they got the total opposite, Farke’s side falling to a 2-1 defeat and Ipswich recording a 2-0 triumph against the Terriers. It meant joy for Kieran McKenna’s Tractor Boys who had only...
Leeds United’s season has been extended for at least another two games after they missed out on automatic promotion to Ipswich Town.

United now face a month of relative uncertainty, with those in charge at Elland...

Chris Wilder has signalled his intention to give more Sheffield United young players game-time before the end of the season with the Blades on the brink of returning to the Championship. Defeat at Newcastle United tomorrow will seal the Blades’ fate, while they could even be relegated with victory if their rivals also pick up three points. Wes Foderingham is set to retain his place after coming back in for Ivo Grbic at Manchester United on Wednesday, and putting in a man of the match display in...
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...
Here is what our YEP Jury have had to say on Saturday’s defeat to Southampton and missing out on the top two. KEITH INGHAM So no miracle at Ipswich and no win for Leeds as I asked for. They now limp into a play-off semi-final with Norwich City on the back of back-to-back defeats following Southampton’s 2-1 win at a muted – especially in the second half – Elland Road. Saints are the only team to do the ‘double’ over Leeds this season. Daniel Farke brought in Glen Kamara and persisted with Joel...
Leeds United’s youngsters have been dealt a dramatic double blow as the club await a silverware shot. United’s under-18s will face Manchester City’s under-18s in the final of the FA Youth Cup next Friday night, ahead of which the Whites youngsters took in their final league game of the season on Saturday. Rob Etherington’s young side took on Newcastle United’s under-18s at the Magpies Academy and looked set for a 1-0 victory thanks to a Sam Chambers strike after a Louie Dudley assist four...
Leeds United’s under-18s have been in flying form of late, reeling off four straight league wins as part of a campaign that has taken them to the final of the FA Youth Cup in which they will face Manchester City’s youngsters. Two weeks ahead of the final, the two sides met in a league fixture at Thorp Arch on Saturday afternoon in which thriving 15-year-old Harry Gray made a fresh double impact by winning a penalty which he then converted himself. England youth international Gray, younger...
Carole’s deal at Elland Road expires this summer and appears to have been granted the opportunity by the club to seek a contract elsewhere with fresh terms unlikely to be forthcoming at Leeds. Son of former Whites man Sebastien Carole, the 19-year-old featured during the Owls’ recent Professional Development League fixture against Ipswich Town, playing 70 minutes in a 2-1 win, according to the Sheffield Star. Leeds are expected to announce their retained list following the completion of the...
Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy admits Leeds United’s 90-point total was simply not enough to win promotion in what has been an incredible Championship season. Leeds were consigned to a place in the play-offs after losing 2-1 at home to Southampton on Saturday, albeit the result was moot with Ipswich beating Huddersfield Town to secure their own fate and join Leicester in the top two. Daniel Farke’s side were excellent for large parts of the season and enjoyed a 15-game unbeaten run to put...
