Leeds welcome Doncaster to Elland Road after another humiliation.

Leeds host Doncaster on Saturday on the back of yet another humiliating defeat as they were battered 4-1 at Bournemouth on Tuesday. Leeds have lost by big score-lines on numerous occasions in 2014 and will be looking to put that behind them against Donny at Elland Road on Saturday.

1300 Leeds fans travelled down to the South Coast on Tuesday to watch their team put in very little effort. The fans are the pride of Leeds United at the moment and for their loyal support they are being rewarded with absolutely terrible performances on the pitch.

The 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth was the first time that any Leeds United side has lost to the Cherries. This, accompanied with a 6-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday, 2-0 defeat at League Two side Rochdale, 5-1 home defeat to Bolton and a poor 4-2 home defeat at home to Reading has left Leeds fans anticipating the end of this season.

The humiliating defeat came following a terrible Monday that saw the recall of Connor Wickham by Sunderland and the rejection of Massimo Cellino's takeover bid by the Football League. From a fans point of view, the sooner this season comes to an end the better. 

Doncaster are in the relegation mix and currently sit eight points clear of the drop zone. They won the League 1 title in dramatic circumstances last season but have failed to recapture the form that saw them win the title last season. 

Paul Dickov's side have managed just one away win all season when they beat Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. Chris Brown is the clubs top scorer on a dismal eight goals which has seen the Yorkshire club find it difficult to pull away from the relegation scrap. 

Donny have struggled to find goals this season but have managed to pick up the majority of their points at the Keepmoat which could see them remain a Championship club, at least for another season. The South-Yorkshire club have scored just 33 goals in 38 games this season and if Charlton were to pick up five points from their remaining three games in hand, Donny could find themselves one place from the drop zone.  

Doncaster's last away game saw them lose 2-0 to high-flyers Burnley. They haven't won at Elland Road since 2008 but with Leeds in such dreadful form, there is no better time to face the Whites. 

Rovers biggest success against Leeds came in the 2008 League One play-off final when they won 1-0 to claim promotion to the Championship. Including this, Donny have only ever beat Leeds on four occasions with just the one victory at Elland Road. 

Doncaster have managed three wins in their last five whereas Leeds have managed just three wins in their last 18 in all competitions. 

Leeds have managed just one win in their last eight and just three wins in total in 2014. Brian McDermott has had to defend himself on countless occasions for poor performances and you have to imagine he is running out of time at the club. 

Owners GFH have been the target of a lot of the frustration of Leeds fans as they seem to only appear through the good times and disappear when the club is going through a rough patch. Leeds' lowest attendance this season for a 3pm fixture was 23,200 against Millwall last Saturday, surprisingly more than you'd expect with the turmoil surrounding the club. 

Ross McCormack has been one of the few bright notes of this season for Leeds and he bagged the consolation at Bournemouth, which was also his 26th league goal of the season. The Whites captain has shown great support towards Leeds fans throughout the campaign and celebrated by bowing down to the 1300 supporters who had travelled to the South-Coast. 

Leeds have never lost to Doncaster since the 2008 play-off final, with a 0-0 draw the best Rovers have managed against the Whites. Since then, Leeds have beaten Donny six times in a row with the most recent meeting resulting in a 3-0 victory at the Keepmoat Stadium where Leeds have never lost. 

Leeds have categorised this fixture as a "Cat A" fixture meaning tickets cost as much as £36 for both home and away fans so a high attendance isn't expected at Elland Road and who could blame either set of fans? 

The Yorkshire derby has seen plenty of goals in recent years with Leeds winning twice at Doncaster this season, scoring three in both fixtures. The last time the sides met at Elland Road, Leeds came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 upon the appointment of Neil Warnock as manager.
