The Whites have lost four of their last five, including the last two at Brighton and then Nottingham Forest. The quartet of defeats were punctuated by a vital win at home over West Ham United, but the manner of the losses at the Amex and the City Ground has led to the largest open revolt of Farke's Leeds tenure.

Critics emerged in his very first season in charge, even before they hit the skids late on and had to settle for the playoffs. There were grumbles, mostly at a low level of volume, about style of play, a perceived lack of risk, the timing and effectiveness of his substitutions and the absence of goals from midfield.
