There have been a few tell-tale signs of late that Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke is feeling a little frustrated. The German has a 50 per cent win ration in the Championship this season with three wins from six games, two draws and one defeat, which is hardly the cause for panic.

Bulut only signed a new two-year contract in June and said before this match he would “never give up” but his future is out of his hands, particularly when you consider Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan has gone through 11 permanent managers during his 14 years at the club.

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.

Daniel Farke says Leeds United must ‘give their lives’ to score more goals after watching his side win 2-0 at 10-man bottom side Cardiff City.
