Manager Neil Warnock plans to use the occasion to outline his player requirements for next season.

The Watford defeat dealt a potentially fatal blow to Leeds’ slim chances of creeping into the Championship play-offs.

Warnock said: “We’ll have to invest. The chairman knows what I’m looking at and what I think.

“I’ll be talking to him about it when he comes over. The job requires major surgery in all departments. That’s what we’ve got to try and do over the next couple of months.

“We have to invest now in a number of players, without going silly. We have to get the right type of players too. I don’t want to be stood on the touchline watching a performance like that again.

“I’m desperate to get promoted next year so I’ve got to hopefully get the right support from the chairman and face the challenge as it comes.”
