'There for the taking' — Rival midfielder fires incredible Leeds United warning with Whites declaration — YEP 18/4/25
By Lee Sobot
A rival player has fired an incredible Leeds warning.
Oxford United midfielder Tyler Goodrham has fired a Leeds
United warning with a confident Yellows message for Friday night’s huge
Championship clash at The Kassam.
Seventeen places and 40 points separate the
promotion-chasing Whites and relegation-battling U’s ahead of Friday evening’s
8pm kick-off at Oxford.
Goodrham, though, despite declaring Leeds as a “really good
side” insists Daniel Farke’s Whites are “there for the taking” as he used
United’s recent defeat at Portsmouth as an example.
Speaking to the Oxford Mail, Goodrham said of Leeds:
“They’re a really good side. They get loads of bodies forward, and they’re very
aggressive and front-footed, but we also know they can be beaten.
“You see Pompey beat them, and other teams, so they’re
definitely there for the taking. It’s just a matter of us stepping up and
taking that opportunity.
“It’s always nice to play the big teams and play on the big
occasions. I definitely think Friday night under the lights is a big occasion.
“Just to be able to go out there and do it for ourselves,
and for the fans, is the main thing.
“We know that we can do it. We know what we can do, and
Sheffield United proves that. We’ve got to go out there and focus on ourselves,
and focus on the 90 minutes in front of us. That’s the main thing.
