BBC Radio Leeds reporter Adam Pope says Daniel Farke is the "most capable around" of leading the Whites to Premier League promotion despite some supporter criticism about his style of play.

Leeds United have bounced back well from what was a very challenging summer, racking up 11 points from a possible 18. Saturday's comfortable 2-0 win at bottom club Cardiff City moved them back into the Championship top six.

Keith Wyness has warned against Leeds United sacking Daniel Farke at this stage. Speaking to Football Insider, Wyness pointed to Birmingham City's sacking of John Eustace as a warning of what can happen to a team if they sack a manager too quickly.

Substitutions have always been a discussion point during Daniel Farke’s tenure as Leeds United manager.

Farke's side have been particularly strong at the back on their travels in 2024. They have already kept eight clean sheets away from Elland Road in the league this calendar year (excluding play-offs). You have to go back to when Marcelo Bielsa was in charge in 2019 for the last time United recorded more shut outs (9).

The Spaniard has enjoyed a fantastic start to the season with his West Bromwich Albion team, and are still unbeaten after six games. The Baggies are currently top of the table, having dropped just two points so far, drawing 0-0 with Leeds back in August.

For Leeds United, what happens between now and that enforced break feels very significant in shaping not just the season but the narrative around head coach Daniel Farke. Leeds currently sit sixth in the table having lost just one game as the only side to take a point off league leaders West Bromwich Albion.

Leeds United have Daniel Farke as their manager but a poor start to the 2024/25 season could see them switch their attentions elsewhere

Leeds United are set to stick with Daniel Farke despite the club’s stuttering start to the Championship season. The German helped guide the Whites to the play-off final last campaign but were beaten by Southampton and have failed to kick on this term.
