Leeds United slipped to a third successive defeat on Sunday as they lost 2-1 at QPR.

This one saw elimination at the FA Cup third round stage for the second successive year.

Unlike their two recent league defeats, this loss did not seem too painful.

Leeds fielded an inexperienced side mainly consisting of under-23 players.

To come away with only a 2-1 loss away from home is to their credit.

Leeds’ next fixture is on Friday night at home to play-off chasers Derby County.

His sentiments were echoed by midfielder Adam Forshaw, who was captain at Loftus Road.

Forshaw publicly congratulated the youngsters on their efforts, and spoke of his determination to help the team avoid a fourth straight loss.

Leeds currently have a two point lead at the top of the Championship.
