Leeds are staring at relegation with just one game left in the season and need a minor miracle on the final day of the campaign to survive in the Premier League.

 

The Whites have not won a game since the middle of March and Sam Allardyce has failed to provide the bounce they were anticipating when they brought him in with four games left in the season.

 

 

It has been more than a year since Bielsa was sacked by Leeds but Derry stressed that the team had a certain identity under the Argentine and the players and the fans had a special bond.

 

He believes none of that is present in the current set-up and the change from Jesse Marsch to Allardyce in a little over a few months has left a disjointed and fragmented Leeds squad with no identity or style.

 

 

Derry, speaking after the loss at West Ham, said on BBC Radio Leeds: “What Marcelo Bielsa brought was a culture, an identity and a togetherness between the fans and the players and the city of Leeds.

 

“And that’s gone.

 

 

“Unfortunately with these amount of changes from Jesse Marsch to leading now to Sam Allardyce, it’s just fragmented and that’s what the football club looks like from the outside.

 

“I look and I don’t just see what it means to be a Leeds United team out there and that is the real disappointing part of it.

 

“It’s not the results, it’s in the culture inside and it’s the belief and that’s not here at the minute.”

 

Leeds will face Tottenham at Elland Road on the final day and have to win to have any chance of surviving in the top flight.
