Plymouth Argyle baffle live on talkSPORT after what happened v Leeds United, ‘Goodness me…’
Natalie Sawyer was astonished to discover that Plymouth Argyle did not register a single shot on target against Leeds United on Saturday.
The Whites secured a comfortable 3-0 win over Wayne Rooney’s men at Elland Road on 2 November, with Dan James, Joel Piroe and Brenden Aaronson all scoring in the first half, moving to second in the table.
Plymouth, on the other hand, are just three points above the bottom of the Championship table, with 12 points from their first 13 matches, and their torrid form continued against Daniel Farke’s side.
Speaking live via talkSPORT on Sunday (3 November, 8:47am), Sawyer said: “It was a disappointing afternoon for Plymouth. But it was very different for Leeds, who had 23 attempts.
“Goodness me. Imagine the Plymouth support going up to Elland Road and not even seeing an attempt on goal.”
Leeds United get the job done against Plymouth Argyle
The second-half performance from Leeds was far more disappointing than many fans were expecting, but by that point, the result was already done and dusted.
All three points take Farke’s side within touching distance of the top of the Championship table, with Sunderland slipping up in a 0-0 draw with QPR on Sunday.
Fans have every right to be excited about the current campaign, especially given that they are unbeaten in eight matches now, but many do not want to get too far ahead of themselves after last season.
The Whites narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League, losing 1-0 to Southampton in the play-off final at Wembley, but Farke is expected to take the team one step further this time.
With Sunderland, Sheffield United, Burnley and Watford all vying for the automatic promotion spots, it is difficult to predict which two teams will come out on top, but the hope is that Leeds are one of them.
