A lot of Leeds United fans have reacted to Thomas Frank’s comments before Brentford host the Whites in a massive Championship fixture.
Leeds head to Griffin Park having lost four of their last five league matches and failed to score in each defeat.
Can Leeds use this as motivation?
Yes, it is a silly statement from Frank
No, will probably motivate Brentford more
The Bees sit two points behind Leeds with second place firmly in their sights.
Ahead of the game, Frank spoke to the media and said that Leeds “couldn’t pick a worse place to play” and that he is “100% sure” that the Whites fear his side.
However, the Dane also said that this match was not season-defining, but he was adamant that with the fans behind his team and being under the lights, his side could win.
This has drawn a positive response from many Leeds fans who want their team to use Frank’s comments as motivation.

The only team Leeds United fear is Leeds United. We are more than capable of turning up tomorrow and steam rolling them. It’s about time we started showing that again #LUFC

What do we think?
Leeds travel to Griffin Park off the back of a poor performance against Nottingham Forest and know that they must stop their slump sooner rather than later.
However, the Bees boast the best defensive record in the league and have only lost one home game of their last eight Championship matches.
It is sure to be an intriguing encounter.
