Leeds United suffered a devastating blow to their automatic promotion hopes with a crushing 4-0 defeat to QPR. This result all but solidified Leicester City’s promotion to the Premier League and secured QPR’s spot in the Championship next season.
Daniel Farke’s team still holds onto a spot in the automatic promotion places, but their hold is tenuous with Ipswich Town hot on their heels. With two games in hand, it seems likely that Leeds will have to settle for a play-off spot.
The loss at Loftus Road was Leeds’ worst performance of the season, leaving them with a lot to ponder before their final game against Southampton. Speaking after the defeat, Farke emphasized the need for his players to regroup and analyze their mistakes.
With a long day of reflection and training planned, Farke is focused on ensuring his squad is mentally prepared for the challenges ahead. The team must find a way to regain momentum before heading into the play-offs, where confidence and form are key.
While automatic promotion may be out of reach, the focus now shifts to finishing the season strongly and building towards a successful play-off campaign. Leeds must use the disappointment of their recent defeat as motivation to bounce back and make a statement in their final game before the play-offs.
