Danny Mills suggested on Sky Sports News on Friday morning (10:53am, March 1, 2019) why Leeds United have been struggling of late.

Leeds suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of Queens Park Rangers away from home at Loftus Road in London in the Championship on Tuesday evening.

It followed two successive wins, but prior to those results, Marcelo Bielsa’s side had drawn with Middlesbrough and lost to Norwich City.

Leeds are third in the Championship table at the moment with 64 points from 34 matches, just two points behind leaders Norwich City.

Former Leeds right-back Mills has given his take on the team’s recent struggles, but he believes that the Whites will be okay.

Mills said about Leeds on Sky Sports News on Friday morning (10:53am, March 1, 2019): “I think it’s difficult sometimes the intensity the club generally plays at, the intensity the fans create especially at Elland Road can be draining at times, and you need big players.

“Bielsa’s squad is quite small, they have had one or two injury problems as well which haven’t helped.

“The Spygate thing, has that unsettled them? We don’t know, not quite sure, but I think they will be okay. I think they will come strong.”

Bouncing back

Leeds will return to action on Friday evening when they take on West Bromwich Albion at Elland Road in the Championship.

With West Brom also aiming for automatic promotion to the Premier League, the Whites will have to be on top of their game to pick up maximum points against the Baggies.
