Leeds United have kept four clean sheets in their last five Championship games.
Tony Dorigo has claimed on LUTV that he does not understand how Leeds United continue to keep clean sheets, despite a depleted defence.
Leeds edged out Bolton 1-0 on Saturday to move top of the Championship with what was a fifth successive victory.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have only conceded once since the 4-1 mauling by West Brom prior to the international break – a remarkable feat given the Argentine’s defensive worries.
The Whites have eight recognised defenders in the senior set-up and four of those – Luke Ayling, Gaetano Berardi, Liam Cooper and Tom Pearce – are sidelined with injury.
Stuart Dallas, who was being used as a make-shift right-back in the absence of Ayling and Berardi, is also absent, meaning that Jamie Shackleton has filled in there as of late.
Here is what Leeds legend Dorigo told LUTV: “We have so many injuries at the back but we keep keeping clean sheets. How does that work? It’s just incredible.”
Leeds, who have a six-point cushion in the automatic promotion spots, visit Aston Villa on Sunday in what is bound to be another big test of their credentials but, on this form, few would doubt United to make it six wins from six.
