FLW discusses a headache for Daniel Farke at Leeds, and how Ipswich Town could benefit from it
It has been a brilliant start to the season for Ipswich Town.
Having won promotion to the Championship from League One, the Tractor Boys have so far looked more than comfortable in the second tier.
Indeed, after 11 matches, they have been one of the standout sides in the division, and as the league prepares to head into the winter, Kieran McKenna’s side would have had the opportunity to go top of the table with a victory over Rotherham United on Friday night had their fixture against the Millers not been suspended.
The Tractor Boys headed out of the October international break second in the division, two points behind Leicester City on top, and eight points clear of Preston North End in third.
Whether or not Kieran McKenna’s side can maintain such a lofty position in the league table as the season progresses and be serious contenders for promotion remains to be seen. However, one thing that could help them is further strengthen their squad in the January transfer window.
With that in mind, Ipswich should certainly be monitoring things at Leeds United, where a current situation is brewing that could be used to their advantage.
Indeed, having just been relegated from the Premier League, Leeds United have plenty of attacking talent on their books, which is brilliant for Daniel Farke, but perhaps not for all of his players.
Indeed, whilst the Leeds boss does have to juggle his attacking options carefully, with so many vying for minutes, it naturally means that some players will not get them.
That has been the case so far for Joe Gelhardt this season.
