Leeds fell short of their promotion target last season after they lost to Frank Lampard’s Derby County in the semi-final of the play-offs.

However, they seem to be well on their way to achieving automatic promotion this season after they opened up an eight-point gap on third-placed Fulham over the weekend.

The Whites came out on top in the Yorkshire derby against Cowley’s side; meanwhile, Scott Parker’s men lost 2-1 at home to Bristol City.

Some fans were full of praise for the manager as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:

Well appreciated Danny Cowley
