Tim Howard highlights two major reasons behind Leeds United's struggles

Former Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has put Leeds United's struggles down to a combination of poor defending and lack of plan B. The Whites slipped into the relegation zone for the first time this season at the weekend following a disappointing 3-2 home defeat to Fulham.

Leeds have now not won any of their last eight matches and the pressure is continuing to build on manager Jesse Marsch after such a poor run. Marsch's side had shown promise during the early stages of the campaign but are again looking shaky at the back, which has cost them in recent weeks.

Speaking on ' The 2 Robbies Podcast ', Howard claimed that Leeds' 'sloppy defending' is down to the 'bad habits' learned under the previous regime, but admits Marsch must find some sort of plan B in order to stop losing so many points from winning positions.
