Derby County's Conor Hourihane has been shocked by the way Leeds United have managed to close the gap at the top of the Championship
Conor Hourihane knows a thing or two about Championship promotion races having been involved in several in his time. The former Republic of Ireland international has challenged for promotion to the Premier League with the likes of Aston Villa, Sheffield United and Swansea City in the past and he currently finds himself locked in another battle at present as Derby County push for a return to the second tier.
Of course, the Foxes do have a game in hand on their rivals and they have the chance to pile the pressure on in the early kick-off against Bristol City on Good Friday. But the manner of their slide, coupled with the relentless form of Leeds and Ipswich, has come as a huge shock to Hourihane. 'The top four have gone storming ahead over the course of the season,' the Derby man told Talksport.
