Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has made a surprising admission about Leeds United’s position in the Championship. Despite Sheffield United sitting top of the table by one point, Wilder believes that Leeds United are “miles ahead” of his team.
Wilder’s comments came after Sheffield United’s 2-2 draw against West Brom, and they are a testament to the strength and depth of Leeds United’s squad. Leeds United’s 2-0 victory over Derby County on December 7 moved them up to second in the table, and they are now just one point behind Sheffield United.
Leeds United’s manager, Daniel Farke, will be looking to build on his team’s impressive form when they face Middlesbrough on December 10. Farke’s team has been in decent form recently, with four of their last five Championship games ending in a win.
However, despite their impressive form, there is still a sense that Leeds United have more to give. The team was heavily backed in the summer transfer window, and there is an expectation that they will challenge for the Championship title.
In fact, Leeds United’s summer transfer business was one of the most impressive in the Championship. The team brought in several high-quality players, including goalkeeper Ilan Meslier and defender Maximilian Wöber. These signings were made with the explicit goal of winning promotion to the Premier League.
If Leeds United fail to finish in the top two, it could have serious consequences for Farke’s future at the club. The German manager was given significant backing in the summer, and there is an expectation that he will deliver a promotion-winning season.
Farke’s team has been playing some excellent football this season, and they have been one of the most consistent teams in the Championship. However, despite their impressive form, there is still a sense that Leeds United have more to give.
In other Leeds United news, the team may have found a new hero after a “dangerous” player impressed against Derby County. The player’s performance has given Leeds United fans hope that they have found a new star who can help them achieve their promotion goals.
Overall, Chris Wilder’s comments about Leeds United’s position in the Championship are a testament to the strength and depth of the team’s squad. Leeds United’s impressive form and summer transfer business have set them up for a strong promotion push, and they will be looking to build on their recent success when they face Middlesbrough on December 10.
