‘At this stage…’ – Leeds United boss Daniel Farke delivers promotion race verdict after Sunderland slip

After his team, Sunderland, Sheffield United, and Burnley all lost points over the weekend, Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has stated that he is not keeping a close eye on the Championship table. On Monday night, the German led his team to Turf Moor, where they faced Scott Parker’s determined Clarets in a dull 0-0 draw. A late goal kept Sheffield United from defeating Plymouth Argyle on Saturday afternoon, while Sheffield United suffered a shocking loss to relegation-threatened Hull City on Friday night.

Leeds continues to lead the standings with 60 points as a result of those outcomes, followed by Sheffield United with 58, Burnley with 57, and Sunderland with 55. Farke has emphasized how happy he was with a sharing of the spoils in Lancashire, even though his team lost the chance to increase their advantage at the top.Farke said, “It’s not up to me to judge what they have done or what they should have done,” in response to a question about whether Burnley’s risk-averse strategy shocked him. We’ll focus on ourselves. Analyzing Burnley’s games reveals that they have a rather unique style, which you must be prepared for in order to manage. You must ensure that you are firmly rooted in your defense of what you were.

Much of the credit for this goes to Scott as well. Making chances against them is difficult. I have no right to evaluate whether they should be bolder, do it differently, or anything else. The fact that another formidable opponent in the home game is possibly even more cautious against us is, in my opinion, a testament to us and our reputation. This speaks volumes about our standing in the league as well. “At this stage you don’t look too far into the table,” Farke said in response to a question concerning Sunderland and Sheffield United both losing points in their separate games. We have 17 games left, and we won’t qualify for the playoffs if we stop winning points after tonight. We were thrilled to score a point, and it was usually a big game.
