Ian Holloway believes Leeds United have the same problems as last year.
The Whites missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season after being beaten in the Championship play-off semi-finals by Derby County.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have so far made an impressive start to their campaign this year, and currently sit third in the table, two points behind leaders West Bromwich Albion.
Holloway feels unless Bielsa strengthens his squad in January and make it bigger, then they could fall away again.
“I still think they've got the same issues,” the experienced EFL manager wrote in his Mirror column.
“Eddie Nketiah is really young, but I do like him, and Patrick Bamford is Patrick Bamford.
“Can he get the amount of goals they are going to need? At the moment they are sharing them around which is good.
“I really like their manager. I do think he is very different and he's been ahead of his time for years.
“I like the way he's targeted Leeds with that huge crowd. I like the way he stayed after not doing it last year.
“But unless he gets a bigger squad I do fear that they might fall away again.
“I hope they don't because they could really grace that top flight, but they've got to earn the right.
“They got so close and couldn't do it last year but the same question mark is hanging over them - have they got the strength in depth to actually go and do it this time?”
