Leeds United latest is unbelievable
Despite missing out on promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-off final last season, the Whites and Daniel Farke are certainly feeling the love from the fanbase right now.
While Leeds will be disappointed about dropping points to Bristol City, Farke’s side are just five points behind league leaders Sunderland and level on points with second place.
With 15 points from their last seven matches, Leeds are now unbeaten since the 1-0 defeat to Burnley in mid-September, and not even injuries look able to slow them down this season.
Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev are already missing, and although Largie Ramazani has been sidelined with a new injury [Yorkshire Evening Post], Farke has just enough depth in his squad to maintain the unbeaten streak.
Many fans expected Leeds to claim all three points against the Robins, but with Liam Manning’s team also unbeaten since mid-September, it does not look like an awful result in the season’s context.
With clashes against Plymouth Argyle, Millwall, QPR and Swansea City coming next, Farke will hope that his side can close the gap on the top of the Championship table and take charge of the title race.
