TWO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The Leeds United manager Neil Warnock has said that bringing in two players recently has worked in favour of the team because they have made a massive difference to the results of the team. Leeds United brought in the form of QPR manager Neil Warnock in the hope of getting promotion back into the top flight. However, they have been struggling in the Championship in the 16th position. However, recent results have been extremely good for the team, as they have managed two back-to-back victories against top teams like Leicester City and Crystal Palace. Both teams are fighting for promotion from the championship, and Neil Warnock has been extremely delighted following these victories.
The club recently brought in the winger Jerome Thomas and the defender Alan Tate. They have been instrumental in the success of the club. Warnock believes that the club will still be able to mount a challenge for the promotion spot provided they bring in a few more players of this stature in the January transfer window. There are only a few weeks to go before the opening of the transfer window, which will give managers the opportunity to strengthen their squad. The arrival of Alan Tate has strengthened the defence in recent matches.
“The two new players have made a huge difference. We are not that far away. We don`t need to spend major money it`s just an influx of quality players in the right areas. These are two players I have wanted for a long time and they have shown what they can do,” said the manager Neil Warnock in a recent interview. Leeds United recently completed a takeover, which sees the club get new Middle Eastern owners. It remains to be seen if they will splash the cash in January in the hope of getting promotion.

BOLTON EARN DRAW
The Championship match played between Leeds United and Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium on Tuesday has ended in a draw. Both the teams scored two goals each and they had to share the points.
After this draw, Bolton has moved down to no. 16 in the Championship points table. The Trotters have played nine matches in the competition so far out of which the team has won three, lost four and the remaining two have finished without any result. Bolton currently has 11 points in 9 matches.
On the other hand, Leeds has also played 9 matches in the Championship and won four out of them. Leeds has lost three matches, while, the rest two matches have finished without any result.
The Bolton team came into the match with all guns blazing and managed to get ahead pretty early in the match. Kevin Davies was the one who scored the first goal for Bolton in the 14th minute of the match. The goal was set up by Chris Eagles and Davies was quick to capitalize on the opportunity. The English striker headed the ball from a distance of 6 yards into the right hand corner of the net.
Leeds levelled the scores just a minute before the half time break when Samuel Bryan found the back of the net with a header. El-Hadji Diouf was the one who assisted the goal.
Leeds United earned a penalty kick in the 5th minute of the second half. Luciano Becchio took the penalty kick and he placed his shot to perfection. It was a brilliant left footed shot and the ball went past the Peterborough goalkeeper into the bottom corner of the net.
The scores were equalized again in the 79th minute when Kevin Davies scored his second goal in the match.
Neither of the two teams was able to find the net again in the remaining time and the match ended without any result.
Leeds United will play its next match against Barnsley on Saturday.

MORE PLAYERS NEEDED
The Leeds United manager Neil Warnock is expected to jump into the transfer window in order to bring in a few more loan players in order to compensate the injury problems the club has suffered in the first few weeks of the new Championship campaign. Leeds United were one of the club’s expected to be at the top of the table challenging for a promotion spot. However, there are currently in the seventh position after having lost one match and drawn the other in these five fixtures. Leeds United recently signed on the former Blackburn and Bolton winger Diouf, but he is not expected to be the last signing at Ellands road this summer.
Due to the fact that the Premier league club have now submitted the 25 man squad, it has left Neil Warnock with the opportunity to bring in a few more players who have been omitted from these squads. Players who are omitted from the 25 man squad for the Premier league will not have the opportunity to play for their clubs until January. As a result, it makes a lot of sense for the Premier league clubs to send the players out on loan to Championship clubs.
“It’s another blow and I’m really disappointed for him because he’s had a great start to the season. He’ll be looking at three to four weeks so it’s not long-term, but we’ve already lost Paul Green and we’ve got Michael Brown struggling with a hamstring strain as well. We’re looking thin in that area,” said Neil Warnock recently about the injury situation. “If you have some momentum going then you don’t really want a break. But it is what it is and we have to use it to our own advantage,” said the assistant manager of the club, Mick Jones.
