Anyone know why he's not been involved at all in Leeds' first two games? Seems fairly pointless loaning him back if he won't get any game time...

Just think it's a numbers issue right now. They have quite a few options in attack, and apparently he's not viewed as the one deserving minutes. Seems to be behind Harrison, Hernandez and Costa at the moment. I agree it feels pointless right now, but one injury or appearance could change everything.

Long way to go. As he's still young and had limited game time last season, I imagine Bielsa will blood him in gradually.

Pretty sure if he’s not playing we will recall him in Jan and loan him out somewhere else

Leeds play Salford in the league cup on sky tomorrow night so hopefully he'll get a start.

Salford City are my local team, about half a mile down the road, and tickets are £10 on the gate so a mate and I are giving some serious thought to going along because we like supporting the local team.

Will feed back here if we make it and Jack plays (y)

It’s covered in his loan thread as to why. Leeds have too many loan players and can only field 5 on the pitch at a time.

Thanks for info. I would have thought as part of the deal that we would insist on certain criteria on playing time. Otherwise what is the point?

He has had a very quiet game so far. If he wasn't our player I wouldn't have really noticed he was playing tonight.
