and Dan looking at Leeds
00:04
and in terms of
00:06
you mentioned
00:07
the goals scored
00:09
let's just touch on that
00:10
I mean 80 goals
00:11
in the championship table
00:13
for them
00:13
it's been quite a fantastic ride
00:16
in terms of getting that
00:17
sort of output
00:18
what's been the key
00:19
to that in terms of
00:20
Daniel Farker's style
00:22
it might be quite open
00:23
quite free flowing
00:24
but Leeds players
00:26
have certainly took advantage of it
00:27
I mean the amount of goals
00:28
is unbelievable really
00:30
in a championship season
00:31
Yeah
00:34
it's
00:35
clearly
00:36
they're just utilising
00:37
the attacking talent
00:38
they have at this level
00:39
I mean some of the players
00:40
that they've got
00:40
in attacking areas
00:41
wouldn't go and miss
00:42
in some
00:43
Premier League sides
00:44
at all
00:45
so the fact that
00:46
they're able to
00:47
use that in the championship
00:49
just shows
00:50
the quality they have
00:51
within their ranks
00:51
of course
00:52
it will be a step up
00:55
should they go up
00:55
to the Premier League
00:56
as well
00:56
but this season
00:57
at least in the championship
00:58
they're just getting to
00:59
enjoy their football
01:00
in an attacking sense
01:01
and play with
01:03
as you say there
01:04
the freedom
01:04
of the pitch
01:06
at Ellen Road
01:06
or if they're away from home
01:08
scoring
01:09
lots of goals
01:10
and at different times
01:11
in the game as well
01:12
you look obviously
01:13
anyone can score
01:15
sort of in the middle of the game
01:16
but
01:16
they've got the talent
01:18
the attacking quality
01:19
that
01:19
they're able to keep
01:21
going right to the end
01:22
you saw the goals
01:22
they scored against
01:23
Sunderland
01:23
or Sheffield United
01:24
right in
01:25
the end of games
01:26
and to have that
01:27
confidence
01:28
and belief
01:29
in their attacking
01:29
capabilities
01:30
to still keep going
01:31
even when the games
01:32
might look beyond them
01:33
and to actually turn
01:34
those draws
01:35
or losses
01:36
into wins
01:37
with their attacking talent
01:38
that's such a
01:40
great commodity
01:41
to have
01:41
so yeah
01:42
it's no surprise
01:44
that the championship's
01:44
top scorers
01:45
are the best goal
01:45
difference in the league
01:46
but it's just making sure
01:47
that they don't go
01:49
missing when it matters
01:50
because of course
01:50
that can happen
01:51
it's happened before
01:52
for them at times
01:53
not only this season
01:54
but in previous years
01:55
although you'd have
01:56
to fancy them
01:57
with the run of games
01:59
they have from now
01:59
until the end of the season
02:00
of course
02:00
starting with
02:01
Preston North End
02:03
at Elland Road
02:04
at the weekend
02:05
it's a game where
02:06
Leeds should be winning
02:08
let's be honest
02:09
you probably make
02:10
Leeds favourites
02:11
for every game
02:12
they go into this season
02:13
just because of how good
02:14
that attacking talent is
02:15
but
02:16
we know better
02:18
of course
02:18
Leeds don't always show
02:19
in the way they probably should
02:20
you just have to look
02:21
at some of the results
02:22
they've had
02:22
especially on the road
02:23
of this season
02:24
where they haven't shown up
02:26
or they've not put
02:27
the chances they've had away
02:28
but Preston
02:30
in a game where
02:31
if they win
02:31
they will at least
02:32
stay top of the championship
02:33
on goal difference
02:34
it's one where
02:36
they have to be going
02:37
and winning
02:37
I mean
02:38
what are your thoughts
02:38
on the game?
02:41
Yeah
02:42
obviously massive chance
02:43
I mean
02:43
it's obviously
02:44
Daniel Farker's
02:45
100th game
02:46
in charge of
02:46
Leeds United
02:47
sort of 56.6%
02:51
win rated
02:52
you know
02:52
percentage
02:53
is quite remarkable
02:54
really
02:55
he's done a great job
02:56
he's been a real
02:57
you know
02:58
feather in the cap
02:59
of Leeds United
03:00
to get him
03:00
his experience
03:01
in the championship
03:02
you know
03:02
he's got Norwich up
03:03
a few years ago
03:05
and it was a great
03:06
sort of shrewd bit of business
03:07
to get him
03:07
as manager
03:08
when you know
03:09
they did fall short
03:10
in that Premier League season
03:11
with a few managerial changes
03:13
that was a great appointment
03:14
100 games
03:16
for Leeds United
03:17
this weekend
03:18
for Daniel Farker
03:19
and I think
03:20
you know
03:21
the fans are
03:21
really sort of
03:22
enjoying his tenure
03:23
Dan do you feel
03:25
he can be the man
03:26
to keep Leeds up
03:27
if they are to go
03:28
up to the Premier League?
03:32
That's a really hard
03:33
one to call
03:33
because of course
03:34
he's not always had
03:34
the best of success
03:35
when he was with Norwich
03:37
in the Premier League
03:37
but of course
03:38
you'd have to think
03:38
that Leeds probably have
03:40
a more attacking talent
03:42
at present
03:43
than Norwich do
03:45
and if they're able
03:45
to keep hold
03:46
of all that attacking talent
03:47
when they go up
03:48
and add to it
03:49
with perhaps resources
03:50
that Norwich didn't have
03:51
you'd perhaps fancy them
03:53
to do alright
03:54
at least
03:54
obviously
03:55
we've had many discussions
03:57
and many people
03:57
have many debates
03:58
about the gap
03:59
between the Premier League
04:00
and the Championship
04:00
at present
04:01
and how teams are just
04:02
going up
04:03
and then going straight
04:03
back down again
04:04
that looks to be
04:04
the case this season
04:05
and was the case
04:05
last season as well
04:06
but you'd like to think
04:08
that Leeds would have
04:09
enough attacking talent
04:11
and enough quality
04:12
throughout the pitch
04:12
as well
04:13
to book that trend
04:14
because it's a bit
04:15
of a worrying trend
04:16
in terms of the division
04:18
between the two leagues
04:19
and just what's needed
04:20
to actually stay up
04:21
once a team goes up
04:22
Daniel Farquhar clearly
04:23
has the capability
04:24
as a manager
04:25
it's just whether Leeds
04:26
show up in the right
04:28
moments
04:28
and are able to
04:29
not only hold on
04:30
to their good players
04:31
but also add to their squad
04:32
with the resources
04:32
that they have as well
04:34
but you'd like to think
04:35
they would
04:35
and I think they'd be
04:36
the best players
04:37
for the teams
04:37
that could go up
04:38
this season
04:38
to stay up
04:40
if they are to go up

next season
