Leeds United have lost four of their last five in the Championship.
Thomas Christiansen has explained what Leeds United must do differently against Derby County on Tuesday.
Leeds have lost four of their last five Championship fixtures after Friday’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sheffield United.
The Whites were up against it early against the Blades, with Billy Sharp firing the visitors in front in only the second minute.
It was the fourth time Leeds have conceded the first goal in a league game this campaign, and resulted in their fourth defeat.
So when asked what his side must do differently against Derby, Christiansen’s response should come as little surprise to anyone.
“Score the first goal,” said the Dane, as quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post.
Interestingly, Leeds have won all seven Championship matches in which they have scored first this term, with their only draws ending 0-0.
But despite his above comments, Christiansen insisted his players are not feeling any pressure, having fallen from first to fifth – and potentially out of the play-offs if results go against them this midweek.
“The players are confident because they have my confidence,” he added.
