Leeds have too much to do, says pundit.
Leeds United let a lead slip against Derby County this evening as Kasey Palmer scored a 92nd minute equaliser.
They are in 11th place in the table and new manager Paul Heckingbottom is still looking for his first win after three games in charge.
At the start of the season Leeds had high hopes of winning promotion but they need a dramatic turn around if they are to reach the play-offs.
Leeds have not won a single game in 2018, although they are unbeaten in their last two.
Pundit and former Rams assistant Chris Powell was asked about Leeds’ promotion chances after the game and had a negative reaciton.
Powell said: “It is going to be very, very tough for them.
“Look at the teams in front of them, Middlesbrough, Preston, Brentford. The form they are in, they don’t look like they will break into top six.”
Considering Leeds’ form, it is hard to argue with Powell’s assessment.
They are desperate for a result and the players looked dejected after the game.
This looks to be more like a rebuilding phase between now and the end of the season under a new manager.
Leeds are now 10 games without a win and in a league as competitive as the Championship, teams just cannot afford that and still expect to win promotion.
