A wrap up of all the latest Leeds United headlines
Farke unearths new Leeds United option that rattles natural order as surprise POTY option emerges The buzz of Archie Gray’s introduction to senior football only wore off because the 17-year-old was so consistently good in midfield it had become the norm. Everyone had acclimatised to what this teenager was doing on a football pitch and began to take it for granted.
New demands are put on this boy’s shoulders and, yet again, he barely bats an eyelid. Gray did not put a foot wrong in this new role and while Farke has made it clear every opponent has different tactical necessities, the temptation to now keep the teen there is immense. Not only was Luke Ayling having to weigh up a straight scrap with Djed Spence for minutes this season, but Gray's now made as compelling a case anyone else to keep playing in this corner of the team. Gray scored while playing as a right-back for England at this year’s UEFA European Under-17 Championship, so he’s not a complete novice, but the leap from that to this is massive.
The stats back that notion up, with Leeds managing 21 shots to Bristol’s nine throughout the contest, with eight hitting the target. Georginio Rutter, Crysencio Summerville, Ethan Ampadu, Jaidon Anthony and Glen Kamara were amongst those to go close without finding the back of the net on the day and those missed opportunities could have proved costly.
