Leeds United have to hold down their ambition in pushing forward into play offs zone as they suffered a disappointing home defeat on the latest English Championship fixture against Blackburn Rovers last Wednesday. Playing in front of their home crowd, who were keen on a special new year present, Leeds put on a rather disappointing performance early on that game when they conceded a goal after 13 minutes through Jordan Rhodes.

Things didn't get any better for the home side during that first 45 minutes as Blackburn continue to create problems and eventually doubling their advantage with an effort from Rudy Gestede on 36 minutes. Leeds continue their effort in getting back into that tie, but they only managed to pull one goal back on 53 minutes from Matt Smith, which was not enough to stop Blackburn from getting away with all three points from that new year battle.
