Leeds fans react as Izzy Brown left on the bench again

Leeds United’s hunt for promotion continues to plough on after a narrow 1-0 win over Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon – and fans have now changed their mind on loanee Izzy Brown.

Brown, 22, joined Leeds on a season-long loan from Chelsea last summer. Suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in February, Leeds were well aware that he would be sidelined for some time.

The Chelsea man finally returned to action with the club’s Under-23 side in December. He has since been a regular in Carlos Corberan’s side, but is struggling to break into Marcelo Bielsa’s senior team.

Brown has warmed the bench for Leeds’ last six league games. He has come on only once, featuring for nine minutes in the 1-0 loss to QPR. He looked off the pace, and could easily have been given a red card.

He was snubbed by Bielsa on Saturday once again, with the Argentine leaving him on the bench as Patrick Bamford’s first-half strike earned all three points. So, is Brown worth the wait or is he actually not good enough?

Brown – who earns £25,000 a week at Chelsea () – cuts a frustrated figure on the sidelines at Elland Road. But Leeds fans have sided with manager Bielsa on the matter, asking whether he is actually good enough.
