Neil Warnock has praised Leeds United and manager Marcelo Bielsa, but believes the club will fall just short of automatic promotion to the Premier League this season.The former Whites boss believes Leeds have a soft belly and will not be strong enough to overcome Norwich City or Sheffield United at the top of the Championship.Leeds suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to the Blades in their last league outing, which left them one point outside the top two with eight games of the campaign remaining.Leeds’ automatic promotion hopes were dented by a 1-0 defeat to rivals Sheffield United at Elland Road2

They still have every chance, of course, but Warnock says Bielsas side are more vulnerable defensively than their rivals, and this makes Norwich and Sheffield United favourites to go up.Leeds, what a club, he said on Thursdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.

They fill the stadium every game whatever division theyre in and theyre just so desperate to get back into the Premier League.Hes done a good job, Bielsa, but I think Leeds will miss out.Neil Warnock has hailed Marcelo Bielsa’s work at Leeds, but believes the Whites will fall short of automatic promotion2
Neil Warnock has hailed Marcelo Bielsa’s work at Leeds, but believes the Whites will fall short of automatic promotion
I just think Leeds have got a soft belly at times at the back when theyre under pressure, in comparison with the other two.I think Sheffield United will be very, very difficult to push out of that top two. Chris Wilder has built a good side, they were one of the best teams we played last year and hes got a way of playing thats very difficult to play against.I think Norwich and Sheffield United are the favourites.
