Player Watch - Djed Spence - Genoa

Spence not even on the bench for Leeds today

Injured in training last week apparently

 

[AJW]

Out for several weeks with a ligament injury

Unlucky. Hopefully a quick recovery for Djed

 

[Snarfalicious]

Jesus. What terrible luck.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

DJed got 20 minutes today . Didn’t see it so no idea how he did. Needs to get stuck in now, Playwell and get Leeds up. No doubt Daniel will be hoping for that and Leeds to buy him and Rodon.

From the highlights it looked like he was playing on the left. Certainly showed pace getting forward, interesting if he has a role as the inverted left full back as well as right back

Starting left back today. Gray seems to have right back nailed on now. Important for Djed to adapt and perform on the other side.

 

[Kaned]

I thought he played well, but was substituted towards the end as Leeds pushed for a goal, and I think he pissed a few people off by walking not running off

Not a good look, imo

He’s always been like that

 

[markt]

Really not great feedback from Leeds fans from the Coventry game.

Not sure how he is taking to left back, but claims he is lazy, gives me little hope he is going to make it with us.

A shame his pace and attacking players could be an asset, and don't forget his performance against PSG on loan last season.

Really good opportunity for him today

Starting at LB against high flying Ipswich. He has had a few games post injury, so now is the time for him to show what he can do.

What makes you think he has not shown what he can do over the course of the last 2 seasons?

Because he hasn’t? He was dropped in France. This season been injured a lot and is played out of position now

Maybe what he can do isn’t very much.

Exactly this.

He had some bright moments in France, but no consistency and he got dropped as soon as Rennes first choice RB was fit and injuries have meant he has had no impact at Leeds.

Saying that he has actually had a brighter start against Ipswich today.

 

[KaribYid]

Searched his name on Twitter to see how he got on today. Leeds fans seem happy with his performance.

Much better today, watched most of it. The fact Leeds were on top really suited his attacking game.

Really need him to step up now and be consistent. If Ange is not keen, at least will help with sell on value.

Anyone know what the vibe is here with Ange and the club? Like was the loan to increase value or did they think it would help him mature and bring him on?
