David Prutton has been discussing if it is a good thing that Nottingham Forest will keep Chris Wood for another year. The in-form striker is under contract at the City Ground until the end of next season. Wood has astonished all Forest supporters in 2023/24. On Tuesday against Fulham, he scored his 12th goal of the season across all competitions. Forest first added Wood on their roster in January 2022. Fans were outraged when it was revealed that the striker’s loan deal will become permanent for £15 million after three games. In truth, last season, it appeared that the fans…

Patrick Bamford drew another blank for Leeds United in their loss to Coventry City, and Daniel Farke was questioned afterwards if he felt his striker had done enough for him. Patrick Bamford’s week at Leeds United could have turned out very differently with two right-footed attempts. The striker had two chances in the six-yard box on Easter Monday against Hull City and on Saturday against Coventry City, but both were wasted by clumsy, left-footed efforts. The Elland Road tumble, in which Bamford plotted to score from four yards out, will live in infamy. Yesterday was a far trickier opportunity at…
Leeds United were drained by this washout, who earned more than Ilia Gruev. Although Crysencio Summerville and Daniel James have frequently stolen the spotlight at Leeds United this season, there are a number of more understated performers who have allowed Daniel Farke’s side to tick in the Championship away from the more well-known players. Ilia Gruev falls into the latter group, with the former Werder Bremen player missing Leeds’ poor 2-2 draw away to Watford recently. As statistics analyst Ben Mattinson remarked earlier this season, the midfield maestro has been a “revelation” since his arrival in the summer, helping to…
Leeds United are apparently interested in bringing Kalvin Phillips back to Elland Road, after the England international failed to flourish at Man City and West Ham United. The transfer rumour won’t go away. Despite the midfielder’s problems with Manchester City and West Ham United, promotion-chasing Leeds United are still strongly linked with a summer move for him. The England international, a key member of the Whites’ 2020 promotion-winning team under Marcelo Bielsa, has an uncertain future following a turbulent season. Since joining the Hammers in the January transfer window, Phillips’ career has not gone as expected. It has been reported…
Daniel Farke has had to make use of his Leeds United squad since the international break. The Whites lost a lot of players to injury while overseas representing their respective countries, therefore others have had to step up. Leeds were far from their best in either of the two Easter matches, but they still managed to pick up four points, keeping them in contention for the top two. While promotion rivals Ipswich Town have dominated the late show this season, Leeds were forced to do it twice in their final two games. Mateo Joseph was the hero at Watford after…
Archie Gray of Leeds United will turn down offers to join Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, according to Football Insider sources. On the most recent episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior journalist Pete O’Rourke stated that the midfielder will remain at Elland Road and sign a new contract if they are promoted. Gray has made 43 appearances for the Championship club in all competitions this season, playing in midfield and right back. According to Football Insider on Thursday (4 March), the Whites will contemplate selling the 18-year-old if they are unable to collect enough revenue from the sale…
A supercomputer projected the final Championship rankings after Leeds United, Leicester City, and Ipswich all won their respective games on Monday (1 April). The Foxes opened the day with a 3-1 comeback win against Norwich City, before the Tractor Boys scored an even more dramatic victory over Southampton, reclaiming first place in the Championship. Leeds were under pressure as they met Hull City in their final encounter on Monday, and although Fabio Carvalho cancelled out Sam Byram’s opener, late goals from Crysencio Summerville and Dan James secured all three points. According to Opta Analyst [5 April], Leicester remain favourites to…
Alan Brazil was left perplexed as Leeds United clawed their way to a dramatic, late victory over Hull City at Elland Road on April 1. Liverpool loanee Fabio Carvalho cancelled out Sam Byram’s opener in the first half, and the game remained tied until Whites striker Crysencio Summerville scored from the penalty spot in the 88th minute. Daniel James then sealed the victory, scoring Leeds’ third goal in stoppage time. And Brazil couldn’t believe the outcome, which he contrasted to title-chasing Ipswich Town’s own last-gasp victory over Southampton, saying on talkSPORT: “The day before, what a day it was, Ipswich’s…
A look at the possibilities Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has at his disposal for today’s Championship match against Coventry City at the CBS Arena. On paper, a trip to Coventry City appears to be Leeds United’s most difficult assignment remaining in the Championship season. The Sky Blues, who were defeated in the play-off final by Luton Town last season, remain hopeful of making the playoffs. Despite losing 2-1 to Cardiff City on Easter Monday, Mark Robins’ club remains in seventh place, four points behind Norwich City but with one game in hand. Coventry have only lost three home games…
He was formerly the club’s record signing. It is no secret that Nottingham Forest have made significant investments since their return to the Premier League in 2022/23. The Reds won promotion under Steve Cooper after defeating Huddersfield Town 1-0 at Wembley Stadium in the play-off final, despite the club’s need for wholesale signings to compete in England’s top flight. The club has made 34 acquisitions since promotion, the most of any team in the top league, but they have been hit-and-miss, with Forest experiencing a high churn of players in recent months. Despite the turnover of players, the Reds’ high…
