It’s impossible to deny that Leeds United haven’t been at their best of late.
The Whites have won just two of their last nine games in the Championship, and pundits have been trying to explain why the Whites have struggled so much.
The Yorkshire Evening Post published a piece based around some comments Danny Mills made on Sky Sports News, claiming that Leeds looked tired and jaded, and fans didn’t take too kindly to their former player’s criticisms.
Marcelo Bielsa’s teams are famed for tiring towards the end of seasons, but the Elland Road faithful don’t think that trend is affecting them this term.

Mills said: “They looked a bit tired and jaded towards the end against Wigan, that’s when you have to use your substitutes.”
To be fair, Leeds haven’t looked any different to usual, they created 12 more chances than Wigan at the weekend and dominated possession, so these tired and jaded claims may be a bit far-fetched.
Fans were quick to disagree with Mills on social media.
Other fans believed that it was fair for Mills to point out weaknesses in their team.
However, they argued that finishing was the main issue, not fatigue.
Other’s believe that the blame should land at the feet of the manager.
They said that the squad need some fresh ideas if they are to get back on track.
