Leeds United are doing well in the Championship at the moment.

Tony Dorigo has told BBC Radio Leeds that Leeds United can finish in the top six of the Championship this season with the current team.

Speaking ahead of the Whites’ league game against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road in the league last Saturday afternoon, the former Leeds defender told BBC Radio Leeds: “What we have got at the moment, I think it’s top six, I really do, I think it’s good enough for that. Whether it’s top two, I am not so sure.”

Leeds won 3-1 against QPR in London to further enhance their chances of finishing in the top six of the Championship this season.

The Whites have recovered from their recent slump in form, and Thomas Christiansen’s side can only get better in the coming weeks and months.

The West Yorkshire outfit do have some good players, and the fact that they are just outside the playoff spots at the moment proves that.

What Leeds need is consistency and fewer individual mistakes, notably from goalkeepers Andy Lonergan and Felix Wiedwald.

The Whites are seventh in the Championship table at the moment with 33 points from 21 matches, just four points behind Sheffield United, who are currently sixth in the standings and occupy the final playoff spot.

Leeds will return to action this coming weekend when they take on Norwich City at Elland Road in the Championship.
