Carlton Palmer believes Leeds United are right to stick by Daniel Farke for the time being. It was reported by Football Insider earlier this week that the Whites’ board have decided to avoid any drastic decisions over his future after an underwhelming start to the new campaign.

The Whites have carried an increased threat from dead balls this season than in the second half of the previous campaign, thanks in part to the return of Pascal Struijk. The Dutchman has had the first contact on the ball from a number of corners and come close to scoring without yet finding the net or even the target.

His critics were out in force in the wake of a 1-0 defeat at home to Burnley last weekend. Some supporters criticised Farke's decision-making and style of play as the Whites, not for the first time under Farke's leadership, struggled to break down a low block.

Daniel Farke has revealed Leeds United have a number of minor doubts ahead of Saturday's Championship trip to Cardiff City, but he is hopeful most if not all will come through.

Changes sound unlikely for Daniel Farke, based on Thursday’s press conference. The Leeds United manager’s vehement defence of this season’s performances and ‘carefully optimistic’ injury outlook could mean his side is unchanged once again.
