Leeds are in a bit of a slump at the moment aren’t they?
They’ve failed to win any of their previous three games, and with two tough games against Birmingham and West Brom coming up the slump could develop into a crisis.

There’s no denying that Leeds haven’t been at the races in their previous three matches. Drawing 3-3 with Cardiff after leading 3-0, losing 2-1 to Fulham and relying on a late equaliser to snatch a point against Preston isn’t the form of champions-elect.
Unfortunately, it’s going to be tough for Marcelo Bielsa to halt this slump ahead of those two games due to the lack of time he has to iron out the issues that his team have shown in these games.
There are just two days between Leeds’ draw with Preston and their upcoming match against Birmingham, and just two days on from that match they have to face against a table-topping West Brom side.
Bielsa could drag his players in for training every day between now and the West Brom game, but with United having such a small squad that could be a recipe for disaster. Fatigue could become an issue if he makes his side train as hard as usual while having to play three games in six days.
The Argentine seemingly has to go back to the drawing board in order to get his team back on track, but there isn’t much of an opportunity for him to do that around this time of year.
Meanwhile, Leeds fans have been reacting as Phil Hay has confirmed one January departure.
