Jeg fikk glimt fra dagens kamp men ikke nok til noe helhetlig inntrykk.
Her har Leeds-Live gitt sine tilbakemeldinger:
Ian Poveda
Poveda looked sharper than the fellow new boy, living up to words from Stuart Dallas, who said he’d taken to United’s infamous ‘murderball’ training sessions instantly.
“I haven't seen a player who's taken to a group as well as he has taken and I'm being serious when I say that,†said the Northern Ireland international last week.
“He's trained with us a few days now and you'd think he's been here since the start of the season, you know he's lively about the place.â€
Match fitness certainly doesn’t appear to be an issue for the Manchester City academy graduate, who looked lively when introduced out on the right flank.
Not everything he did came off and it was a tough afternoon against a well-organised and deep Sheffield Wednesday defence, but he tended to go for the positive option and showed a fearlessness in taking on his man and trying to progress the ball forward.
We saw more of his dribbling ability on this occasion than real end product, with crossing and shooting a little lacking, but overall it was an encouraging first display in Leeds colours - you can certainly imagine him making an impact for the senior side as a substitute against tired legs.
Jean-Kevin Augustin
It’s hard to tell whether he had a shirt a size too big or if he was carrying a little more weight than we’ve been accustomed to at Bielsa’s Leeds, but on first viewing it’s become a little more apparent why the Argentinian has been reticent to throw him straight in.
With all eyes on the marquee January arrival, it took a long time for him to have any real effect on the game, struggling to find space and get on to the ball at all. That just started to change as the half went on and he dropped a little deeper.
Given how he looked in his medical video and having represented a serious club like Monaco in the opening half of the season, he can’t be too far off, but the immediate impression is that he’s not quite at the fitness level Bielsa will be looking for.
It was a somewhat subdued debut for the forward, and with a particularly uncharitable reading of his 45 minutes, you might say that he didn’t offer the mobility and special awareness that Bielsa demands of his strikers, leading from the front and bringing others into play as Patrick Bamford does at his best.
On the other hand, this was for the Under-23s, who were putting in a fairly low-par performance by their own lofty standards and struggling to provide him with great service.
Given that, it’s way too early to draw any definitive conclusions as everything might look a lot easier for him linking with players the quality of Pablo Hernandez, Mateusz Klich and Jack Harrison as opposed to promising youngsters that still have some way to go.
The half wasn’t entirely without merit, either, as he demonstrated how his physicality and strength can cause opposition defenders, while he came closest to scoring of any Leeds player in the first half.
He demonstrated good communication with Charlie Cresswell, presumably telling the youngster to send the ball long and straight through to him at the next opportunity.
Within minutes the defender obliged, breaking the lines setting him through at goal, with a decent and well-struck low drive sent towards the bottom corner, producing a good save from Owls keeper Joe Wildsmith.
