Daniel Flake must be FURIOUS with these ONE player for his disastrous display against Coventry that can cause Leeds the Championship title

Leeds United’s aspirations to secure the top position in the EFL Championship were dashed following a disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Coventry City on April 6th. The loss came as a missed opportunity for Leeds, especially with Ipswich Town falling to Norwich City, which could have allowed Leeds to advance in the standings.

The match saw Coventry’s Ellis Simms strike early, scoring in the ninth minute, and Haji Wright widening the gap early in the second half. Leeds managed to pull one back through Joel Piroe, but it wasn’t enough to salvage a point.

Here’s a breakdown of the Leeds United player performances:

Illan Meslier received a low rating of 3. His command of the penalty area was lacking, and he was notably at fault for the first goal and possibly the second. His erratic form this season has been a concern, and this match was no exception.

Archie Gray was rated 5, a performance that didn’t live up to his usual standards. He struggled in duels and seemed off-pace throughout the match.

Joe Rodon also scored a 5, having played a part in the concession of the first goal. Despite this, he had a decent defensive game overall and won most of his aerial duels.

Ethan Ampadu stood out with a rating of 6, completing over 100 passes with a 90 percent accuracy and making seven clearances. Despite being outmatched in the air, his commitment was evident.

Junior Firpo earned a 5, with his work rate and stamina coming into question, especially towards the end of the match.

Ilia Gruev, returning from injury, was given a 5. While his passing was accurate, he made errors that a fully fit Gruev likely wouldn’t have.

Glen Kamara received a 4 for failing to make an impact in midfield and for being careless with possession.

Dan James was one of the brighter spots, earning a 7 for his hunger for the ball and work rate, despite some erratic passing.

Georginio Rutter had a particularly poor game, rated at 2. He frequently lost possession and made ill-timed passes, contributing to what was arguably his worst performance of the season.

Crysencio Summerville was rated 5, showing moments of overcomplication in his play rather than opting for simpler, more effective actions.

Patrick Bamford scored a 4, struggling to justify his starting position with ineffective attempts on goal and losing the majority of his duels.

Substitutes Connor Roberts and Mateo Joseph both received a 5, while Joel Piroe was rated 6 for scoring the consolation goal. Willy Gnonto came on too late in the game to warrant a rating.

The result was a setback for Leeds United, who will need to regroup and address these performance issues as they continue their push for promotion. For the latest Leeds United news and updates, fans can follow the club on Facebook or join the WhatsApp channel for instant notifications.
