Leeds United are currently in 11th place in the Championship table.
Steve Evans has warned Garry Monk on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast Show, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 6th October, that he will be under serious pressure if Leeds United are not amongst the play off places by January.
Leeds have offered their supporters a part-refund on season-tickets, if they fail to make it into the top six this season.
And Evans knows how ruthless that Leeds owner Massimo Cellino can be if his target is not met.
“I don’t know what’s in Cellino’s head. I don’t think many do,” Evans, who guided Leeds into a 13th placed finish last season, joked. “But the remit was to deliver promotion at the start of the season.
“The pressure on Garry to make the play offs in January or February will become huge if it looks like it any stage of the season that they are not going to do it. That’s the fear factor to do it.”
Leeds are currently in 11th place, but their form in recent weeks has suggested that they are heading in the right direction.
Leeds have won five of their last six matches to start climbing up the Championship table.
The Whites are currently four points away from the top six, meaning that they are still within touching distance of the promotion chasing pack.
Leeds return to action after the international break with a match against Derby County at the iPro Stadium.
