Leeds United are back near the top of the Championship pile after two consecutive victories left them one point behind league leaders Norwich City.
The Peacocks had slipped to third spot prior to the international break but wins over Bristol City and Reading have got the Peacocks firing on all cylinders once more, giving Marcelo Bielsa’s side a superb platform to build upon during the busy festive period.
Many members of Leeds’ squad have improved significantly under the guidance of Bielsa but there is still room for improvement and some fans were not happy with what they saw from Chelsea loanee Lewis Baker on Tuesday evening.
After impressing in a few cameo appearances, Baker earned his first start of the season against Reading but struggled to establish a foothold in the match and was withdrawn at the interval, which led to plenty of criticisms on social media.
We have gathered some of the comments below.
That’s Lewis Baker finished at Leeds
