'Leeds must find a way to score from set-pieces'

It is now three long, goalless hours at Elland Road for Leeds United.

Two games when the Whites dominated the ball and had 31 shots - and dropped five points. At a time when United could least afford it, their attacking output has dried up.

Poor set-pieces, zero goals from central midfield and the lack of a consistent striker have created an over-reliance on Championship player of the season Crysencio Summerville, Georgino Rutter and Dan James.

Those hugely important missing elements might ultimately cost the Peacocks.

Since their last direct goal from a corner – a header from Pascal Struijk against Ipswich Town on 23 December - Leeds have taken 131 corner kicks.

Excluding penalties, Leeds have eight set-piece goals in the Championship this season. Only Plymouth Argyle and Blackburn Rovers – both with five – have fewer.

United have only had one specialist set-piece coach in their history - Gianni Vio - but that may change this summer.

Form deserts everyone occasionally, but that is when you need a goal from anywhere. With the league this tight, a set-piece goal could literally mean promotion for Leeds.

With a training week ahead, Leeds must find a way to score from them.
