Leeds United picked up three vital points in their Championship match against Preston, winning 2-1. Although it wasn’t one of their finest performances, the win keeps them on track for promotion to the Premier League. With Sheffield United dropping points, Leeds now have a five-point gap over their rivals.
The match got off to a fast start, with all three goals coming in the opening 13 minutes, just as Paul Heckingbottom had predicted. While some players like Manor Solomon and Jayden Bogle impressed, Leeds fans made their feelings clear about Joel Piroe.
Piroe has gone eight games without scoring, and fans are calling for a change. The stadium sang Patrick Bamford’s name as he was substituted on in the 81st minute, indicating that fans want to see him start. Piroe’s recent form has been a concern, and despite Daniel Farke’s praise for his work rate, it might be time for a change.
With Bamford back to full fitness, it’s possible that Farke will reconsider his starting lineup. The fans’ reaction suggests that a change is needed as Leeds look to secure promotion.
