Leeds United’s youngster Tyler Denton made his debut for Peterborough United in their EFL Cup clash against Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday evening.
Having made a loan switch out to London Road earlier this summer, the 22-year-old defender was making his senior bow for them in the game as he looks to continue his development after a handful of matches for us in Cup competitions, and a loan spell out in the first half of the 2017/18 campaign with Port Vale.
It wasn’t a great showing from the youngster but they fell to a 2-0 defeat to struggling QPR and their performance overall in the opening 45 minutes of the game left a lot to be desired, so how much stick he took simply because he was a new face in a poor performance remains to be seen.
Either way, he’ll be hoping for better in his next showing to begin winning their fans over.
Send Denton back then ????#pufc

I’ve only been here for half of the first half and Denton is the worst left back I’ve ever seen, not interested. Neither is Toney. #pufc

No joke but Maddison looks a better left back than Denton

If we dub Denton & Ward it will make it 11 v 11 and we’d have a chance

Denton has been the weak link both tonight and in the friendly v Bolton …..he is not a left-back and can’t play in a flat 4 – a wingback or pushed further forward maybe but def. not a left back

Totally and Cooke gave him little or no support either – but in fairness to him he was also playing out of position when we went 4-4-2

Evans out end Denton's loan ????

Interesting that a few thought he was deployed wrong and left unsupported, but over to him to do better and get his loan spell really up and rocking if he can.
