In terms of the promotion battle, Leeds’ 2-1 victory over Preston was sufficient, even though it wasn’t one of their best games.

There is a four-point difference between Daniel Farke and Chris Wilder, and Sheffield United missing points suggests that Leeds will return to the Premier League.

After all three goals came in the first 13 minutes, it seemed evident that Leeds would get off to a quick start as Paul Heckingbottom had expected.

Even when players like Manor Solomon and Jayden Bogle put on some excellent performances, fans expressed their opinions about Joel Piroe.

It wasn’t a day to remember for Piroe, who will be given serious consideration for his position as the team’s main striker. Despite Leeds’ success in front of goal, the Dutchman went eight games without scoring, and Farke may have made a decision. Joe Rodon hinted that Piroe might be dropped after the victory over Preston, and the supporters may have felt the same way at Elland Road, as the entire stadium could be heard chanting Bamford’s name as the Leeds number nine was substituted before making his final appearance in the 81st minute.

This is concerning for the Dutchman, who has done well for most of the season.

The 25-year-old, however, is having trouble hitting the target at the moment and is unable to get it to click for some reason.

It appears that Farke has little control over the choice, and supporters would have scolded him sooner for keeping the striker on the field if Leeds hadn’t won.

It’s time for Bamford to finish the job for Leeds, even though Farke adores Piroe’s work ethic.
