Daniel Farke has expressed frustration with the Championship following Leeds United’s 1-0 loss to Portsmouth on Sunday.
Farke’s team traveled to Fratton Park on 9 March and suffered their first defeat in a while, with Colby Bishop finding the back of the net in the second half for Portsmouth.
Despite the loss, Leeds remains at the top of the Championship tied on points with Sheffield United and just two points ahead of Burnley.
Farke’s reaction in the aftermath was surprising and he expressed that even though Portsmouth has been in better form recently, Leeds were expected to win.
Portsmouth is currently in 17th place in the league table, and Farke believes his team could have performed better, especially as Joel Piroe missed some key chances.
With Leeds facing Millwall at Elland Road on Wednesday and a trip to QPR on Saturday, Farke highlighted the intense schedule, questioning why there are three games in six days.
Although the upcoming matches are important, Farke acknowledged the need for Leeds to maintain their high level of performance until the end of the season.
The supporters are hopeful that the packed schedule will work in Leeds’ favor, as they have to bounce back quickly from the loss instead of dwelling on it.
However, there is concern that the constant string of games could wear down the players during a crucial phase of the season.
