Neil Warnock has hailed Marcelo Bielsa’s work at Leeds, but believes the Whites will fall short of automatic promotion
I just think Leeds have got a soft belly at times at the back when theyre under pressure, in comparison with the other two.I think Sheffield United will be very, very difficult to push out of that top two.
