Leeds made one surprise change on Sunday as they started Jamie Shackleton in midfield. Adam Forshaw wasn’t included in the squad as he missed out for the first time in the Championship this term.

The loss didn’t look as though it was felt too hard, however, as the Whites prevailed 2-0 thanks to two late goals.

Eddie Nketiah came off the bench to prod home the opener before Mateusz Klich was on hand from the penalty spot.

But despite winning, a host of Leeds fans still think they missed Forshaw during the performance.

One suggested that it was a mess for 70 minutes, claiming he controls the tempo in midfield. A further fan said they struggled to break up the possession without him.

Another supporter noted that they missed his metronomic tick of the play.

Forshaw has been steady in the Leeds midfield this term, achieving a pass success rate of over 90% but failing to find the back of the net.

Playing alongside Klich, he’s begun to play in a more advanced role, something that’s proven by the two shots per game he has. Last term that figure stood at 0.8.

Here’s the best of the debate.
