They fill the stadium every game whatever division theyre in and theyre just so desperate to get back into the Premier League.Hes done a good job, Bielsa, but I think Leeds will miss out.Neil Warnock has hailed Marcelo Bielsa’s work at Leeds, but believes the Whites will fall short of automatic promotion2
Neil Warnock has hailed Marcelo Bielsa’s work at Leeds, but believes the Whites will fall short of automatic promotion
I just think Leeds have got a soft belly at times at the back when theyre under pressure, in comparison with the other two.I think Sheffield United will be very, very difficult to push out of that top two. Chris Wilder has built a good side, they were one of the best teams we played last year and hes got a way of playing thats very difficult to play against.I think Norwich and Sheffield United are the favourites.
