Leeds United: Daniel Farke says side will have to be 'spot on' against Plymouth
- Published
Leeds boss Daniel Farke is looking to win promotion from the Championship for a third time after twice winning the title with Norwich
Leeds boss Daniel Farke has said his team must not underestimate Saturday's visitors Plymouth.
The third-placed Whites beat league leaders Leicester last week and have closed the gap to second-placed Ipswich to eight points with four wins in five.
Argyle, who are 19th, are yet to win away from home this campaign, while Leeds are unbeaten at Elland Road.
"We have to be more spot on for this game than we were for the Leicester match," he said.
"For me, two situations in the season are really important. One is when you have a setback, how you react. We have had this already this season and we have reacted in a good manner with performances and results.
"The other is when you win the spotlight game and everyone is praising you and the supporters and the players are enjoying the amazing win... You have to make sure that the next game, when everyone expects you will win, you are even more on it.
"In this league you cannot go into any game like it is just another day in the office.
"For Plymouth it will be one of the games of the season. They have worked so hard to have an away game at a packed Elland Road and if we go in with the attitude like it's just another game... we will not have a chance to win the points.
"We need the ticket office, the guys who sell the burgers and each and every supporter to make sure that we create an outstanding atmosphere. We have to make it a fortress."
Leeds will be missing ever-present defender Pascal Struijk as he needs hernia surgery.
The Pilgrims have won just one of their past seven games but Farke has been impressed with last season's League One title winners.
"They're a team that is used to winning football games from last season and you can see they still play with that confidence and freedom," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
"The game at Ipswich they were the better side for many periods and were unlucky to lose. That speaks volumes for their quality.
"They play bravely and with courage and cheekily, in a good way. I really like this and we have to be spot on in order to be highly motivated and be successful in this game."
