Neil Warnock suggested that he does not expect Leeds United to get promoted out of the Championship automatically.
A number of Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react to comments made by Neil Warnock on talkSPORT where he suggested that he expects the Whites to miss out on automatic-promotion out of the Championship due to Marcelo Bielsa’s side sometimes having a soft belly.
The promotion race in the second tier is looking set to go right down to the wire. Following Sheffield United’s win against Leeds at Elland Road last weekend, there are five points separating the top three with Norwich City leading the way, followed by the Blades and then the Whites.
With 24 points to play for, it seems too close to call. But former Leeds and Sheffield United boss Warnock suggested that he expects the top two to hold onto their spots due to his concerns about Bielsa’s men.
Warnock has never been the most popular figure amongst the Elland Road faithful, so it is little surprise that many of the Leeds supporters on social media have criticised the Cardiff boss for his comments, with some questioning whether he has even watched the Whites this season.
Norwich boast the worst defensive record of the three, with their success being based on their ability to outscore any team no matter how many goals they concede.
Interestingly however, there are some Whites fans who actually agree with Warnock’s comments and believe that the side have crumbled on too many occasions.
