The frustration among Leeds United fans is understandable after another match filled with missed opportunities. The current squad is crying out for proven strikers—players with the composure, experience, and instinct to turn chances into goals. Relying on budget options plucked from the Championship or untested youngsters hasn’t paid off, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that quality up front is the difference between a side pushing for promotion and one sliding into mediocrity. Brenden Aaronson, despite his energy and movement, continues to struggle in front of goal, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s performances suggest a spark that’s faded—he needs that proverbial rocket to rediscover his hunger. Manager Daniel Farke must shoulder some of the responsibility too. A team’s mindset begins in the tunnel, and too often Leeds look sluggish rather than sharp from the first whistle. Urgency, aggression, and a clear attacking plan are crucial if they want to climb the table. Watching a seasoned pro like Danny Welbeck still scoring freely is a reminder that experience matters—players who’ve been there and done it know how to seize big moments. Leeds need that kind of presence leading the line, someone to set the tone and lift those around him. Without investment in genuine quality up front, the club’s ambitions will remain just that—ambitions—and the threat of relegation will loom larger with every missed chance.
I Still think we will stay up , we had 3 chances to score in January see if we get anymore players some will want to depart burnley or sunderland when the ship is sinking ha ha
There was talk of us bringing Wood in from Forest a week or so ago but I reckon that will change now that Dyche is in charge of Forest
