'Dear me' - Jeff Stelling and Ally McCoist discuss shocking Leeds statistic

The Whites are in action against Leicester City this weekend, and travel to the King Power Stadium with the dubious distinction of having the second-worst defensive record in the division.

Reflecting on their recent struggles on the road, Stelling laid out some statistics that reiterated just how difficult things have been of late for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

He said: “They're great going forward, Patrick Bamford with his 10 goals this season, but I’ve been looking – Leeds United have lost four of their last five away games.

"If you disregard the West Brom game where they won, in those four games, the opposition had 69 attempts on their goal, and 37 of those were on target.

"You’re going to concede a heck of a lot of goals, aren’t you?”

Pundit McCoist responded: “Absolutely.

"I tell you what sums up Leeds United this season – that game at Old Trafford [the 6-2 defeat vs Manchester United]. It was like a training game, attack vs defence. It was absolutely unbelievable.

"That’s the way they play, they’re not going to change. It’s as if they’ve got, not a total disregard for defending, but they’re kind of old school. It’s like, ‘Okay, we’re going to score more goals than you, and that’s way it’s going to play’.

"But, and it’s easy for me to say, I do love watching them. I absolutely love watching them. They’ve got a lot of skill in their team, and they’re a joy to watch.

"But defensively, dear me.”
