How much worse can it get?
Leeds United are into the Premier League’s relegation zone by the end of October and they have equalled the longest winless run of last season, a campaign which required the stars to align on a final-day escape act. It does not look like it’s about to improve either.
The Chelsea win feels like last season already, while the brief respite of an undeserved loss to the league leaders has been quickly forgotten in the blaze of pain caused by Leicester City and Fulham. Neither Bernd Leno nor Danny Ward were tested anywhere near enough in the last two matches and after six changes yesterday, we are left looking for ways this can be improved by Jesse Marsch.
