Here are the latest Leeds United headlines on Monday, May 1.
Leeds United 'so easy to play against'
Leeds United have become 'so easy to play against' under Javi Gracia, according to pundit Leon Osman, who admits that the club are facing 'worrying times' following the 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth.
"Javi Gracia was brought in to give them a bit more defensive stability, but it's been anything but in recent weeks," the former Everton man said on Match of the Day 2. "They've conceded a ridiculous amount of goals. They've lost game after game, five in April. They've become so easy to play against.

"They tried to change it today, Leeds United. They tried to change systems to go with a bit of a back three, lopsided as such. Harrison playing as a left wing back and it simply didn't work."
Shipping in goals is not a new thing for this Leeds side that had one of the worst defensive records last year, but Osman pointed out that with the goals drying up at the other end means this is now far greater an issue.
"What they gave at the other end of the pitch was excitement and the fans got out of their seats and they'd say 'well we don't mind because we''re involved in 4-3 games and we're scoring nearly as many as we're conceding', but now they're only going in one end of the pitch, so it's really worrying times for Leeds"
Unwelcome record broken
Leeds United have broken their own unwanted Premier League record for goals conceded in a single calendar month. The Whites shipped 23 goals in the top flight in April, rounding off a terrible month.
Javi Gracia's side picked up just one win from seven games as they edged closer and closer to the bottom three - picking up just four points from a possible 21 available to them. Heading into the month, there was plenty of promise having beaten Wolves and picked up a point against high-flying Brighton at the end of March.
However, the tone was somewhat set with a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal at Elland Road. The Whites bounced back with a win over Nottingham Forest in a six-pointer, but collapsed from thereon out.
Supporters' Advisory Board issues statement of no confidence
Leeds United’s Supporters' Advisory Board (SAB) has released a statement of no confidence in the current board following the dismal 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth. This came after Whites supporters called for Javi Gracia to leave his position, while there were also chants from travelling fans condemning the ownership of the club and sporting director Victor Orta.
A statement from SAB read: “After the result and performance of the team today, the Leeds United Supporters Advisory Board would like to place on record its lack of faith in the current management team at the club. The SAB have been supportive of many decisions this year and will always work with the club to improve the way the club connects with its supporters and communities, so it is only right that we also address the current performances and the situation we are now faced with."
