Leeds United were embarrassed at Southampton as they lost 3-1 to Russell Martin's outfit
Daniel Farke and Leeds United got it wrong in so many ways on Saturday, of that there is no doubt. The Whites were the favourites for the clash against Southampton at St Mary’s and after such a commanding win last time out against Watford, the expectation was that they would pile misery on the Saints and carry on their climb towards the upper echelons of the Championship table.
Read more: Every word Daniel Farke said on Leeds United's loss, half-time, the midfield, Rodon decision There’s a reason the Championship is renowned for being one of the toughest competitions in world football, it’s because you can take nothing for granted in it. Speed bumps and road blocks can be common and even the most consistent teams in the division can appear erratic at times.
Big games are approaching on the not too distant horizon with trips to promotion rivals Norwich City and Leicester City appearing in the calendar over the next five weeks. They’ll be huge tests of Leeds’ character and credentials once more and the Whites will certainly be looking to take the type of opportunity they missed at St Mary’s on Saturday.
Farke wanted to see a reaction from his players in the second half at St Mary’s and to a certain extent he got one, as Leeds managed kept the Saints at bay and found the back of the net themselves. But, he’ll demand something larger against Gareth Ainsworth’s Londoners, who currently sit in the relegation zone, and how they perform will tell us plenty more about this side, which is still settling after a manic transfer window and a summer of change.
