Leeds United suffered a fresh setback in the Sky Bet Championship at the weekend as they lost at home to Wigan Athletic 1-0.
The Whites battered the Latics at times during the contest but the away side held firm to grab an invaluable win in terms of their battle for survival.
Leeds, meanwhile, saw themselves drop out of top spot in the league as West Brom beat Luton Town and the fans evidently felt as though the likes of Jean-Kevin Augustin and Ian Poveda could have made the difference had they been involved more than they were.
Even so, it seems a typical Bielsa trait to get new faces involved only gradually and, indeed, having them around the u23 team to start with too.
Both were part of the u23 squad against Sheffield Wednesday on Monday, with Poveda on the bench.
Fans reacted to that news so let’s take a look at what has been said:
📋 Jean-Kevin Augustin makes his first start for #LUFC today, whilst Ian Poveda and Gaetano Berardi are named on the bench for the U23s clash

So Poveda doesn’t get time for the first team or the u23’s. Bet he’s loving life at Leeds.

Think it’s strange how Poveda and Shacks on bench Saturday but not get a start today 🙄🔵⚪️🟡
