Daniel Farke’s side fell to their first home league defeat of the season in Saturday lunchtime’s Championship hosting of Blackburn Rovers in which the Whites blew the chance to move back into the top two. Defeat for Leicester City at Friday night’s hosts Plymouth Argyle opened the door for Leeds for whom even a point would have taken them back into the division’s automatic promotion places, albeit having played one game more than the Foxes. As it happened, victory would have put United’s top two...
Leeds United cracked their recent winless run in the Championship on Monday with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Middlesbrough. Prior to their three points trip to the Riverside Stadium, the Whites had not picked up a win since they faced Hull City at the start of the month. Defeats to Coventry City and Blackburn Rovers sandwiched a 0-0 draw against Sunderland. Leeds are now four points off league leaders Leicester City and one ahead of Ipswich Town, who have a game in-hand in this fight for a top...
Daniel Farke has a huge amount of trust in his players, something he made clear in his pre-match press conference following some criticism of the team’s performance, the level of urgency in their play and his own substitution policy after a 0-0 draw with Sunderland on Tuesday night. He said: “After each and every game you analyse what we have done, also pretty self critical what we as a coaching staff or me as a manager could have done better. But you never know. So it's impossible to judge...
Sheffield Wednesday’s bid to remain in the Championship looks set to go right down to the wire but Danny Rohl’s side have put fate in their own hands. Sunday’s brilliant 3-1 win at Blackburn Rovers pulled the Owls out of the relegation zone, with Birmingham City replacing them after only managing a 0-0 draw at Rotherham. There are now just two games remaining and everything still to play for, with seven teams still able to join Rotherham in the bottom three. Wednesday host West Brom before a...
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits he is facing some big decisions ahead of his side’s trip to Manchester United tomorrow evening. Top of the list for the Blades chief is a call on his goalkeeper, with a number of Unitedites calling for Ivo Grbic to be taken out of the firing line after another unconvincing display in defeat to Burnley at the weekend. Wilder, who was scathing about a lack of leadership after that 4-1 loss saw the Blades take another step closer to relegation, must also...

Scott Gardner’s side have not played since falling to a 4-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend, a result which left them bottom of the 26-team Premier League Two table after 16 games played. Leeds, though, now have the chance to climb the ladder with this afternoon’s visit of Derby who themselves are second-bottom, just two points ahead of the Whites who also have a game in hand. Leeds have games in hand on the six teams above them and victory against Derby would also take Gardner’s side...
