Leeds United fans debate Wilfried Gnonto v Dan James – ‘He’ll take us further’
Leeds United fans want Wilfried Gnonto to keep his spot in the starting line-up and for Dan James to move to the bench.
The Whites romped to a 4-0 away victory against Swansea City on Tuesday evening (13 February) – their seventh consecutive win in the Championship.
Gnonto came into Daniel Farke’s starting XI in the absence of the Welshman – who has missed the last two league games through injury – and has truly grabbed his opportunity.
Leeds United fans are changing their tune on Wilfried Gnonto
The Italian bagged the winner against Bristol City earlier this month (2 February) and has recently shown the Elland Road faithful his best after a slow start to the season.
James emerged as one of Leeds’ most prolific players in the first half of the season, having bagged 10 league goals before his setback, and was deemed too crucial to leave out by much of the fanbase.
However, after Gnonto’s brace against the Swans and “unbelievable” form, many fans have changed their tune and believe he is now “simply undroppable”.
James replaced Gnonto against Swansea after 72 minutes but failed to have the same explosive impact as his fellow winger.
Supporters have taken to social media to chime in on the debate, and Gnonto has emerged as the clear winner.
