Leeds United summer departure admission and inside Victor Orta's 'sad' farewell speech

Continuing his Leeds United story into a seventh season remains the hope for Adam Forshaw as he digs in to keep the club in the Premier League. The 31-year-old has managed to find some fitness right at the death as Sam Allardyce turns to his experienced heads in the trenches.

Forshaw was one of the few silver linings to come out of the Manchester City onslaught and it was a surprise to see him missing from Allardyce’s weekend starters against Newcastle United. Fitness, as ever, was the fly in the ointment the new head coach was trying to manage.

Forshaw came on and gave a good account of himself as Leeds fought back to level the game with the Magpies. The hope is he is now in a position to play a full part in the do-or-die clashes with West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur.
