Daniel Farke’s team is now closer than ever to the Premier League with four games left in the season. In light of the events leading up to the season, 88 points after 42 games is an amazing accomplishment. Archie Gray, Georginio Rutter, and Crysencio Summerville were all lost by Leeds.
At Elland Road, goals from Jayden Bogle and Manor Solomon were sufficient to secure all three points against Preston. This season, Leeds has played flawlessly at home. One of the main reasons they are so close to winning the title is their home field’s point total.
Leeds United man could be dropped for Friday’s game
With four games remaining, Leeds has already lost important players to injury. Due to a ligament issue, Pascal Struijk will not be able to play until the end of the season. Dan James may still be sidelined for more games due to a hamstring issue.
James did not play in the match against Preston, so Wilfried Gnonto began. Additionally, he demonstrated why Daniel Farke hasn’t had much faith in him this season. Following Saturday’s match, the Italian international shown that he is still not prepared to start regularly.
Daniel Farke should look for methods to employ him as a starter, according to former Leeds player Paul Robinson:
“He needs to figure out how to make Willy Gnonto a member of that team, and I believe that his effect while coming off the bench has hurt him.
“He knows he has that player, that if that situation, like against Swansea, comes and they need someone to come off the bench with a spark, he knows he has that in Willy Gnonto,” he told MOT News.
Inconsistency is Wilfried Gnonto’s problem
Despite his impressive goals and cameos off the bench this season, Gnonto’s performance has been inconsistent when he has started.
The attacker hardly qualifies to be a regular starter in this Leeds assault after just scoring one goal in his last nine outings.
