Leeds boss Evans questions attitude of star youngster
By Coral Barry
Steve Evans has questioned the attitude of Bailey Peacock-Farrell after the Leeds manager left him out of the starting eleven to face Preston.
Peacock-Farrell had been hoping for a starting berth after being promised earlier in the season that he would be given a chance before the end of the campaign, but the 19-year-old has not been included the side.
Evans has made two changes to the side that lost to Charlton last weekend, but explained before the match why one of Leeds’ best youngsters has been left out of the final match of the season.
“There was a temptation of course to put young Bailey into goal,” said Evans speaking to LUTV.
“Possibly in the last couple of weeks in training he’s been down a little bit. And that happens, he’s young, he’s still growing and when he’s growing the goalkeeper department felt he would lose that little bit of agility.
“But, he’s a top prospect as we know.”
