00:00and Dan looking at Leeds

00:04and in terms of

00:06you mentioned

00:07the goals scored

00:09let's just touch on that

00:10I mean 80 goals

00:11in the championship table

00:13for them

00:13it's been quite a fantastic ride

00:16in terms of getting that

00:17sort of output

00:18what's been the key

00:19to that in terms of

00:20Daniel Farker's style

00:22it might be quite open

00:23quite free flowing

00:24but Leeds players

00:26have certainly took advantage of it

00:27I mean the amount of goals

00:28is unbelievable really

00:30in a championship season

00:31Yeah

00:34it's

00:35clearly

00:36they're just utilising

00:37the attacking talent

00:38they have at this level

00:39I mean some of the players

00:40that they've got

00:40in attacking areas

00:41wouldn't go and miss

00:42in some

00:43Premier League sides

00:44at all

00:45so the fact that

00:46they're able to

00:47use that in the championship

00:49just shows

00:50the quality they have

00:51within their ranks

00:51of course

00:52it will be a step up

00:55should they go up

00:55to the Premier League

00:56as well

00:56but this season

00:57at least in the championship

00:58they're just getting to

00:59enjoy their football

01:00in an attacking sense

01:01and play with

01:03as you say there

01:04the freedom

01:04of the pitch

01:06at Ellen Road

01:06or if they're away from home

01:08scoring

01:09lots of goals

01:10and at different times

01:11in the game as well

01:12you look obviously

01:13anyone can score

01:15sort of in the middle of the game

01:16but

01:16they've got the talent

01:18the attacking quality

01:19that

01:19they're able to keep

01:21going right to the end

01:22you saw the goals

01:22they scored against

01:23Sunderland

01:23or Sheffield United

01:24right in

01:25the end of games

01:26and to have that

01:27confidence

01:28and belief

01:29in their attacking

01:29capabilities

01:30to still keep going

01:31even when the games

01:32might look beyond them

01:33and to actually turn

01:34those draws

01:35or losses

01:36into wins

01:37with their attacking talent

01:38that's such a

01:40great commodity

01:41to have

01:41so yeah

01:42it's no surprise

01:44that the championship's

01:44top scorers

01:45are the best goal

01:45difference in the league

01:46but it's just making sure

01:47that they don't go

01:49missing when it matters

01:50because of course

01:50that can happen

01:51it's happened before

01:52for them at times

01:53not only this season

01:54but in previous years

01:55although you'd have

01:56to fancy them

01:57with the run of games

01:59they have from now

01:59until the end of the season

02:00of course

02:00starting with

02:01Preston North End

02:03at Elland Road

02:04at the weekend

02:05it's a game where

02:06Leeds should be winning

02:08let's be honest

02:09you probably make

02:10Leeds favourites

02:11for every game

02:12they go into this season

02:13just because of how good

02:14that attacking talent is

02:15but

02:16we know better

02:18of course

02:18Leeds don't always show

02:19in the way they probably should

02:20you just have to look

02:21at some of the results

02:22they've had

02:22especially on the road

02:23of this season

02:24where they haven't shown up

02:26or they've not put

02:27the chances they've had away

02:28but Preston

02:30in a game where

02:31if they win

02:31they will at least

02:32stay top of the championship

02:33on goal difference

02:34it's one where

02:36they have to be going

02:37and winning

02:37I mean

02:38what are your thoughts

02:38on the game?

02:41Yeah

02:42obviously massive chance

02:43I mean

02:43it's obviously

02:44Daniel Farker's

02:45100th game

02:46in charge of

02:46Leeds United

02:47sort of 56.6%

02:51win rated

02:52you know

02:52percentage

02:53is quite remarkable

02:54really

02:55he's done a great job

02:56he's been a real

02:57you know

02:58feather in the cap

02:59of Leeds United

03:00to get him

03:00his experience

03:01in the championship

03:02you know

03:02he's got Norwich up

03:03a few years ago

03:05and it was a great

03:06sort of shrewd bit of business

03:07to get him

03:07as manager

03:08when you know

03:09they did fall short

03:10in that Premier League season

03:11with a few managerial changes

03:13that was a great appointment

03:14100 games

03:16for Leeds United

03:17this weekend

03:18for Daniel Farker

03:19and I think

03:20you know

03:21the fans are

03:21really sort of

03:22enjoying his tenure

03:23Dan do you feel

03:25he can be the man

03:26to keep Leeds up

03:27if they are to go

03:28up to the Premier League?

03:32That's a really hard

03:33one to call

03:33because of course

03:34he's not always had

03:34the best of success

03:35when he was with Norwich

03:37in the Premier League

03:37but of course

03:38you'd have to think

03:38that Leeds probably have

03:40a more attacking talent

03:42at present

03:43than Norwich do

03:45and if they're able

03:45to keep hold

03:46of all that attacking talent

03:47when they go up

03:48and add to it

03:49with perhaps resources

03:50that Norwich didn't have

03:51you'd perhaps fancy them

03:53to do alright

03:54at least

03:54obviously

03:55we've had many discussions

03:57and many people

03:57have many debates

03:58about the gap

03:59between the Premier League

04:00and the Championship

04:00at present

04:01and how teams are just

04:02going up

04:03and then going straight

04:03back down again

04:04that looks to be

04:04the case this season

04:05and was the case

04:05last season as well

04:06but you'd like to think

04:08that Leeds would have

04:09enough attacking talent

04:11and enough quality

04:12throughout the pitch

04:12as well

04:13to book that trend

04:14because it's a bit

04:15of a worrying trend

04:16in terms of the division

04:18between the two leagues

04:19and just what's needed

04:20to actually stay up

04:21once a team goes up

04:22Daniel Farquhar clearly

04:23has the capability

04:24as a manager

04:25it's just whether Leeds

04:26show up in the right

04:28moments

04:28and are able to

04:29not only hold on

04:30to their good players

04:31but also add to their squad

04:32with the resources

04:32that they have as well

04:34but you'd like to think

04:35they would

04:35and I think they'd be

04:36the best players

04:37for the teams

04:37that could go up

04:38this season

04:38to stay up

04:40if they are to go up

04:41next season

04:42you
