Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has challenged Joel Piroe to score 20 goals this season to help secure promotion to the Premier League. Piroe's impressive performance against Watford, contributing a goal and an assist, has propelled Leeds further ahead in the Championship table.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has set his sights on a 20-goal target for forward Joel Piroe this season, aiming to propel the club back to the Premier League. Piroe's contributions were instrumental in Leeds' commanding 4-0 victory over Watford, a result that further solidified their position at the top of the Championship table.
With five points separating them from second-placed Sheffield United and eight points ahead of third-placed Burnley, Leeds are firmly in control of the promotion race.The triumph at Vicarage Road marked Leeds' sixth clean sheet of the season, demonstrating their defensive solidity, while simultaneously showcasing their offensive prowess. Daniel James netted two goals, taking his league tally to 10 for the campaign, while Piroe extended his Championship goal count to 14. Farke expressed his satisfaction with Piroe's recent performances but emphasized the need for sustained excellence, urging him to aim for at least six more goals in the remaining 14 matches.'He comes into good situations. Credit to the team for getting him in the positions to score. We have to make sure that he stays on it,' Farke stated. 'He is the best finisher in the league and he deserves all the praise. I'm not happy with his goal tally so far if the season would end right now - I want him come closer to 20 goals and even more. If he can do that he can be pretty proud of himself. So far, so good.' Piroe's recent form has been remarkable, netting four goals in his last three Championship matches, achieving a streak of scoring in three consecutive league games for the first time this season. This resurgence has propelled him to within one goal of Norwich's Borja Sainz in the chase for the golden boot. Farke remains optimistic about Piroe's continued success, stating: 'We'll make sure he is on it for him to score four consecutive games for the first time this season!,' as Leeds prepare for their next crucial fixture against promotion rivals Sunderland at home next Monday
