Leeds United’s season holds the potential for “something special” as they showed resilience in their 2-0 win over QPR at Elland Road. After a disappointing 1-0 loss to Millwall, the Whites responded with a strong performance, displaying their ability to bounce back under pressure.
Manager Daniel Farke maintained his composure on the sidelines as his team struggled to extend their lead despite controlling possession. Jayden Bogle’s early goal put Leeds ahead, but it wasn’t until injury time that substitute Joel Piroe’s strike sealed the victory, keeping Leeds in close contention with Sunderland, who had drawn with Coventry.
Reflecting on the match, Farke shared his approach, saying, “I try to stay calm, even when we’re missing chances. I understand how unpredictable this league can be, especially with extended added time. While I believe in my players, I also brace for challenges.”
He emphasized the importance of bouncing back from losses, describing it as a “sign of a winning mentality” and noting that this mentality could lead to something exceptional this season.
Farke commended his players for their resilience, especially given their intense schedule and the absence of key players. “Everyone expects us to win at Elland Road, but it’s never easy,” he said, adding that the team’s ability to respond after a loss is a testament to their strength.
Leeds United now have a two-week break before their next match against Swansea City on Sunday, November 24.
