da bet esporte: Leeds have hit a run of bad form recently with just one win in their last seven matches, and with no new signings on the horizon fans could be forgiven for wanting new players to be given a chance.
da lvbet: Marcelo Bielsa has handed opportunities to young players like Jack Clarke, Ryan Edmondson and Pascal Struijk, both this season and last, and after seeing Jamie Shackleton score a fine goal for the U23s many supporters are keen to see his first-team minutes increased.
The 20-year-old too has been given chances by the Argentine, including in last year’s playoff semi-final tie against Derby, yet has just 410 senior minutes under his belt this term.

Playing well for the youth team should increase his chances of returning to first-team action, and many fans are suggesting he should be given the call by Bielsa after scoring for Carlos Corberan’s men on Monday.
Shackleton may have found the back of the net with a fine strike but the goal wouldn’t have come about without the involvement of Ryan Edmondson, another highly-rated young player.
Eddie Nketiah’s departure has increased the likelihood of the striker featuring for the first-team, but he has a long way to go to convince Bielsa that he can be a dependable figure in Leeds’ promotion push.

Some supporters also want Edmondson’s first-team role to be increased, but the main focus is on Shackleton, with many impressed to the point where one supporter suggests he will be “like a new signing,” while another was looking forward to what he can produce in the future.
Elsewhere, Leeds supporters have been reacting to the departure of an individual who epitomises the transfer failure of one key figure at the club.
