Leeds United are in a bit of a rut at the moment – it’s simply undeniable. The Whites have won just one of their last seven league games.
In the process, they’ve seen their lead over third-place go from eleven points to just four.
Now, nobody wants to see their team struggle, but if Leeds were going to have a rocky patch this season they’d want it to be now.

Not only do United have over a week before their next game for Marcelo Bielsa to devise a solution to the current problems, but it’s also January, meaning that the Yorkshire side can bring players in to improve positions that aren’t up to scratch.
Yes, that’s a huge assumption considering the club’s failings to do that last January, but let’s not forget that at this point last year, Leeds had won six of their last nine games, so everything looked to be going well at Elland Road.
In the end, the team collapsed and failed to earn promotion, but this year the warning signs are there early enough for the club’s hierarchy to do something about it.
Even Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani aren’t stupid enough to think that one win in seven is good enough form to carry them through to the end of the season, so this recent run should act as a shot in the arm to spring them into action.
United aren’t doing well at the moment but you’d much rather this run come now than in another months time after the transfer window has already been and gone.
The problems are there for the higher-ups at Elland Road to see, but with the market open for signing players, it may come as a blessing in disguise if it inspires some movement in terms of new arrivals.
