Following last Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Blackburn, Daniel Farke will have been back at the drawing board as he prepares his Leeds United side to take on Derby County on Saturday.
The Whites return to Elland Road after losing their consecutive run of three wins against Blackburn. John Eustace secured a third consecutive win over Daniel Farke since the German became manager at Leeds.
Leeds have slipped to third in the Championship table, the same position the Whites find themselves in at this point last season. The same points (35), same wins, draws and losses (10, 5, 3) and goal scored (31).
David Prutton has predicted a 2-1 Leeds win, as Leeds rekindle their rivalry with Derby four years after last facing The Rams. But Farke may have hinted that he will hand a player his first league start this weekend.
Daniel Farke decision at Blackburn may be a Patrick Bamford hint
What was interesting on Saturday and got lost in the mire of the defeat, was that Farke decided to bring Patrick Bamford off the bench before Mateo Joseph. It was Bamford’s largest league outing of the season.
