That sinking feeling is starting to become all too familiar for Leeds United. The Whites travelled to Bournemouth on Sunday knowing only a win would do if they were to breathe life into their hopes of survival.
What Javi Gracia’s men served up on the south coast, though, was a performance that was enough to leave everyone associated with the club fearing the worst. Leeds were limp and characterless as they consistently found themselves without the answers to the questions Bournemouth threw their way.
Patrick Bamford’s goal was a rare positive moment at Dean Court, but his well-placed header wasn’t enough to disperse the threat of relegation, which is only intensifying with every game that falls by the wayside. The manner of the defeat absolutely stunk, once again, but with just four games remaining, it’s impossible not to look at what’s to come and where Leeds could find themselves next season.
