Derby County manager Paul Warne praised the quality of the Leeds United team after suffering a 2-0 defeat on Saturday.
Leeds continued their winning streak on 7 December, securing a 2-0 victory at Elland Road against a struggling Derby side. Austrian defender Max Wober found the back of the net, helping Leeds take the top spot in the Championship.
Warne admitted feeling uncomfortable after the match, acknowledging the evident class difference between the two teams. He stated, “That’s the most unbalanced game we have played in. Even our fastest players could not get past theirs. That’s the most uncomfortable I have felt on the side of the pitch. A gulf in class.”
Despite the impressive performance from Leeds, the most crucial aspect was the three points earned. Winning consistently is vital for promotion, especially during the busy Christmas schedule.
Leeds now sit at the top of the Championship, with potential changes depending on Sheffield United’s performance on Sunday. The upcoming January transfer window presents an opportunity for Leeds to strengthen their squad, particularly in the number 10 position.
For now, Leeds must focus on maintaining their form and securing positive results to continue their promotion push.
