The picture has changed as Leeds United head for Saturday’s Championship hosts Southampton, ahead of which there is blanket positivity yet still disagreement among the club’s fans.
Although this is still a big test, the prospect of a visit to the south coast doesn’t look as daunting as it did a few weeks ago. The Saints’ form has faltered since the end of August. After winning three of their first four games, they have now lost four on the bounce and conceded 12 goals within that time.
Leeds, meanwhile, are on the up having settled on a relatively consistent starting XI. Jaidon Anthony looks like he could fill in for the injured Willy Gnonto, while Glen Kamara slotted perfectly into the midfield. Saints fans on social media are all too aware that their side is not defending as a unit at present. If the hosts give Leeds the opportunity to break at them it could be another successful afternoon for the Whites.
During the transfer window, Saints boss Russell Martin suffered similar problems to Daniel Farke with a number of key players leaving the club to seek their fortunes elsewhere. Southampton appeared to be dealing with the problem better than Leeds, winning three and drawing one of their first four games. They then went on to lose their last four games and they badly need to pick themselves up again.
