After the disappointing draw against Luton Town, even some of the Leeds United players may be beginning to question Daniel Farke’s leadership.
It’s becoming evident that certain sections of the fanbase are losing patience with the Farke project at Elland Road. A single victory in their last six outings paints a bleak picture, further highlighted by another lackluster performance from Leeds.
While early kick-off times might be offered as an excuse, the display at Kenilworth Road suggested the Whites were never truly in contention for a win.
Adding to the concern, Dan James’ post-match comments suggest a difference in opinion between the players and the manager.
Dan James Contradicts Daniel Farke After Luton Draw
The last thing supporters want is tension within a squad that had previously shown strong unity this season. While there’s no clear indication of a rift, James’ remarks appear to directly challenge Farke’s assertion that the draw was a “good point.”
Speaking to LUTV, James delivered a more forthright message that might better resonate with frustrated fans.
“Of course not (happy with a draw). We want to win every game,” said the Welsh winger. “We did well to get back into it but just couldn’t find the winning goal.”
Mounting Pressure at Elland Road
Just weeks ago, Leeds seemed destined for a straightforward promotion push. But the unpredictability of the Championship has struck again, and the club now finds itself slipping into third place — something that surely won’t go unnoticed by the 49ers and chairman Paraag Marathe.
Fan frustration with Farke’s decisions is growing, including his puzzling use of Largie Ramazani, whose £10 million price tag seems increasingly questionable given his limited minutes.
Marathe, who has reportedly had doubts about Farke’s future, may now be intensifying his scrutiny. Without a swift turnaround, pressure on the manager is only set to grow — and it could spell trouble for Farke’s tenure at Leeds.
