When Leeds United plays Bristol City, Daniel Farke must substitute Jayden Bogle at halftime.
Despite controlling possession at Ashton Gate, the Whites have been unable to produce anything noteworthy against a formidable Bristol City team. The game is tied at 0-0 on Saturday, October 26. Leeds was the favorite going into the match, but the hosts threatened with multiple set-piece opportunities in the first half, so Farke needs to make a change at halftime before the game slips away from his team.
For Leeds United, Isaac Schmidt ought to take Jayden Bogle’s spot.
Bristol City is getting more confident as the game goes on, while Leeds has looked lifeless going forward. Now, while he has the opportunity, Farke needs to stop the momentum.
On the right flank, Bogle has been almost nonexistent, preferring to pass sideways or backward rather than connecting with the returning Dan James.
According to Sofascore, the 24-year-old has only won 33% of his duels and has been as unsuccessful across the field, failing to find a teammate with any of his crossing attempts or long balls.
Farke dealt a blow to summer acquisition Isaac Schmidt by choosing Sam Byram to start at left-back in Junior Firpo’s absence.
However, if Bogle’s cameo is cut short this afternoon, the Swiss international might have a chance to make an impression.
Although the full-back has only played nine minutes for Leeds so far, the Whites need his attacking ability and versatility across the backline to penetrate the Bristol defense.
Leeds are at risk of dropping vital points in the race for automatic promotion – a change is needed now.
