Simon Jordan admits Leeds United 'fear' as he issues West Ham, Burnley and Wolves verdict
Simon Jordan fears Leeds United could be pulled back into the Premier League relegation zone.
There have been some alarm bells ringing at Elland Road, as the Whites are now winless across their last six league games.
Perhaps just as concerningly, the club have not scored in any of their last four Premier League fixtures.
The six-match winless run has featured four draws and former Crystal Palace owner Jordan is worried their struggle for wins may catch up with them.
However, he still thinks West Ham United, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers, the current bottom three, are Championship-bound.
Simon Jordan’s ‘fear’
On talkSPORT, he said: “I still think for whatever reason, that it will still be the bottom three that’s in the bottom three or possibly Leeds will get dragged into it because I think Leeds are drawing their way to safety.
"This remarkable set of games that Leeds are playing where they’re not getting beat but they’re still only two or three points away from the relegation zone and somewhere along the line, something’s going to catch up with them I fear. I hope not.”
Fears were intensified at the weekend, when Leeds were toothless in attack against Brentford at Elland Road. The goalless draw gave 18th-placed West Ham an opportunity to close the gap between the clubs a day later, one they did not take.
Daniel Farke’s stance on goal drought
Whites boss Daniel Farke was quizzed about his side’s struggle for goals post-match but insisted he was not alarmed.
He said: “I’m not alarmed because over the course of 38 games, you have these periods. Overall, we have scored many goals. We have had periods where we have conceded too many. It’s more the other way around [now].
“I’m happy that we have [kept] clean sheets in this game, [against] Crystal Palace and also in the FA Cup game against Norwich. Today, I would judge this game isolated because they had a really, really good defensive area. You have to accept this.”
