Leeds United might have thought the way Daniel Farke handled the Luton draw was bad, but Chris Wilder has taken it to another level.

It’s been a telling few weeks at Leeds, as Farke has come under scrutiny.

Leeds fans are showing frustration toward Farke, which is never a good sign at such a vital point of the season.

Many have questioned his choices after Farke told Largie Ramazani to step up despite having minimal game time.

Although it may seem bad over at Elland Road, what Wilder has just done may spark up some serious backlash at Sheffield United.

Chris Wilder calls Sheffield United fans ‘disgrace’ in twist that favours Leeds United

Although it might seem that Leeds are the only side faltering in this promotion race, the Blades aren’t exactly going smoothly.

Burnley seem to be the only club out of the three at the moment who are handling the pressure after 27 games unbeaten, but Farke knows how good his Leeds side can be.

The hope is that this is just a blip ahead of the final six games, as although the fixtures favour Leeds, it’s never known what will happen in the Championship.

One thing has been made clear, and that is Wilder’s comments on Blades fans, which might not end well, as it makes a change from Wilder making salty claims about Leeds fans.

Wilder spoke to The Star after Sheffield’s 1-0 defeat to Oxford United, and Leeds fans may feel smug listening to his uproar.

“Do you know what? I think it’s an absolute disgrace (fans’ reaction),” Wilder said.

“An absolute disgrace to the players who represent the football club and what they’ve done this season.

“It’s a joke and a disgrace. If that’s what you think of the players then, when we have the good days, don’t be clapping.”

Wilder is feeling the pressure as Leeds can benefit

It’s clear with this outburst that Wilder can’t have been too happy with everything surrounding the results.

Both Farke and Wilder now have the fans on their back, but the Leeds boss handled his altercations in a much better manner.

This certainly won’t help the Blades boss’ case if Sheffield miss out on promotion, as Wilder thinks the promotion race is ‘unbelievable’.

It’s not out of character for Wilder to do something like this, but Leeds fans might now see an opportunity to strike.
