Former Leeds United midfielder says club is ‘treading water’

David Prutton believes former club Leeds United are ‘treading water’ under new manager Paul Heckingbottom.

Leeds head into Saturday’s game against Heckingbottom’s old club Barnsley having won just twice in 13 games under his stewardship.

The Whites triumphed 2-0 at Barnsley earlier in the season, but Sky Sports‘ pundit Prutton has tipped the Tykes to draw 1-1 at Elland Road (5/1 with Sky Bet).

He said: “Will Paul Heckingbottom be the man to push his old side further towards relegation?

“It will certainly make for interesting viewing at Elland Road on Saturday.
