“Daniel Farke’s Nightmare” Wayne Rooney side now have Ex- Leeds star as manager send blunt warning to Leeds after comfortable win against Sheffield Wednesday.
Leeds United’s upcoming Championship match against Sheffield Wednesday has taken on new significance following recent events. The Owls secured a commanding 4-0 victory against Plymouth Argyle, boosting their confidence ahead of their encounter with Leeds.
The match was particularly notable for two players with Leeds connections. Darko Gyabi, a 20-year-old midfielder currently on loan from Leeds to Plymouth, and former Leeds player Adam Forshaw both started for Plymouth. Despite playing the full 90 minutes, neither could prevent the heavy defeat.
This game marked Wayne Rooney’s competitive debut as Plymouth’s manager, but it proved to be a challenging start. The comprehensive loss at Hillsborough was a disappointment for Rooney and his team, including Gyabi and Forshaw.
Sheffield Wednesday’s emphatic win propelled them to the top of the early Championship table, as they were the only team to score four goals in a single match. Leeds United will face this in-form Sheffield Wednesday side in a Yorkshire derby at Hillsborough next Friday night, in what will be Leeds’ third Championship fixture of the new season.
