Leeds United’s U23s are in something of a rut currently, without a win in four consecutive matches and in need of a response.
The young Whites had fared well at the beginning of their Premier League 2 Division 1 campaign, but have recently seen a slump in results.
Monday’s offering saw the U23s take a two-goal lead at Everton, before forfeiting their advantage in the second half, eventually losing 4-2.
Head coach Mark Jackson cut a frustrated figure on the sideline after the match, vowing to analyse and figure out where his team needed to improve.
Tomorrow’s first-team fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers may require a select number of the U23 squad to fill out Marcelo Bielsa’s bench, which could mean a depleted squad tonight.
Joe Gelhardt, Stuart McKinstry, Charlie Cresswell, Sam Greenwood, Crysencio Summerville and Cody Drameh have all been named on the Leeds bench for Premier League fixtures in recent weeks.
Our Leeds United reporter Joe Donnohue will be providing minute-by-minute coverage from York’s LNER Community Stadium this evening, as well as on-the-whistle player ratings and quotes from U23s boss Mark Jackson.
Don’t go anywhere.
