Leeds United fans here in the Tavern are feeling confident ahead of their next Championship fixture, after securing all three points against Barnsley last time out.
The Whites will be searching for some consistency as the season comes to a close, with many of our local residents wanting to see another couple of wins. Indeed, Paul Heckingbottom will be hoping that his side can secure another victory in their next outing, after inflicting a 2-1 defeat on his former club Barnsley at Elland Road last time out.
Interestingly, Leeds will travel to Carrow Road to take on Norwich City in their next Championship fixture, with the Canaries looking to secure all three points having gone their last three matches without a win. But, Heckingbottom’s men will be desperate to make it two wins from two games with a large travelling contingent hoping to see a victory, as anything less will be seen as a disaster.
Nevertheless, These TWO Leeds United players have it all to prove vs Norwich City…
Paudie O’Connor
Paudie O’Connor has enjoyed a number of games in the first-team recently as Paul Heckingbottom is looking to give youth a chance, but he hasn’t exactly settled down as a nervy performance is never too far away.
Indeed, the inexperienced central defender struggled against Jonathan Kodjia in Leeds’ defeat at Villa Park and scored an own goal last time out, as there are definitely improvements to be had.
Nevertheless, the youngster will need to prove his worth against a tough Norwich City side, as he could be one poor performance away from losing out on another opportunity in the starting lineup.
Jay-Roy Grot
Sadly, Jay-Roy Grot has looked less than convincing since joining Leeds United in the summer transfer window, as he’s only managed to start four times in what has been a poor start to life in England.
Indeed, the Dutchman has struggled to find the back of the net in his limited amount of appearances thus far, as he currently only has one goal under his belt as a last resort.
Therefore, Grot will need to pick up the pace if he’s given any minutes in their next Championship outing, as he could be sent out on loan in the summer if he doesn’t start to improve.
