Leeds are yet to win in 2020 after a 1-0 defeat away to QPR put an extra dent in their promotion bid, and supporters are now growing increasingly concerned.Of their last eight games the Whites have just one win to show for their efforts, the 5-4 victory over Birmingham which they would have drawn but for a last-minute winner.The loss against the R’s saw a repeat of a familiar theme as the visitors dominated but failed to put away key chances, with 17 shots attempted, and Patrick Bamford was once again the most guilty party, skying a one-on-one in the first half before seeing his penalty saved by Liam Kelly.Watch Leeds United Videos With StreamFootball.tv Below
Recent defeats against Sheffield Wednesday and Fulham, games in which Leeds had more shots than their opponent, show that scoring chances is an issue for Leeds, but fans think there is a more significant factor at play – pressure getting to the players.
Given the West Yorkshire outfit have spent more than a decade outside the top-flight and threw away promotion towards the end of last season, the fears labelled by supporters are certainly credible.
Not much has changed in terms of personnel or playing style and therefore Leeds’ drop-off in results could be due to a problem with their mindset.
Virtually impossible: Can you name the year all of these Leeds flops arrived at Elland Road?
Other fans have come up with a solution to the problem, though, believing it lies in recruitment. The club has lost Eddie Nketiah and Jack Clarke this month without replacing either player, and it is possible that reinforcements could inject fresh energy and impetus into the squad.
Elsewhere, Leeds fans have also been discussing another talking point from the QPR match which seems to have riled supporters.
