'We'd be a world ahead' Leeds United fans make same transfer claim as promotion slips away

Leeds United suffered another defeat at the hands of Brentford and it was a particularly damaging one in the quest for promotion to the Premier League.

Marcelo Bielsa's side now require Sheffield United to suffer a major collapse over the course of the final two weekends, while the Peacocks cannot afford to slip up further.

Neal Maupay fired the hosts into a first-half lead and it led to an outcry of comments on social media, with fans stating their belief that the situation would have been different if Bielsa had a striker like Maupay in his squad.

The claim certainly has legs as it seems like it may be the difference, especially with Norwich City and Sheffield United pushed on this season by the performances of Teemu Pukki and Billy Sharp.
