Leeds United have won their opening two Championship games this season.

Former Leeds player Eddie Gray waves to the fans during The Emirates FA Cup Third Round match between Newport County and Leeds United at Rodney Parade on January 7, 2018 in Newport, Wales.

Eddie Gray has spoken highly of Leeds United’s strength on their substitutes’ bench to LUTV.

The former Leeds winger and manager, who is a legend at Elland Road, believes that when everyone gets fit, then the squad will have players who could walk into any team in the Championship.

Gray told LUTV: “That bench in two weeks’ time could have players that could walk into any side in the Championship.”

Strong squad

Leeds do have a very good and strong squad, as has been evident in their opening two Championship matches.

Adam Forshaw, who was one of the best players for Leeds in the second half of last season, is injured at the moment, while star defender Pontus Jansson has yet to feature in the Championship for the Whites.

Mateusz Klich has been superb for Marcelo Bielsa’s side so far this season, and the Poland international midfielder spent the second half of the 2017-18 campaign out on loan.

Patrick Bamford has played just 11 minutes in the Championship since his summer move from Middlesbrough, and the former Nottingham Forest forward will be an important player for the Whites.

Once everyone is fully fit, then Leeds will have a very strong squad, especially if they sign one or two more players before the summer transfer window closes at the end of the month.
