'Blows my mind', 'Can't believe he did it in front of Farke' - Leeds fans react to Lewis Bate latest
Leeds United fans can’t agree on if Lewis Bate deserves more game time under Daniel Farke.
The 21-year-old has seen just one minute of senior action this season in the shape of a late cameo in the Whites’ EFL Cup win against Shrewsbury Town back in August.
After his impressive loan to League One’s Oxford City was cut short by a hand injury last season, the club reportedly rejected numerous loan offers for Bate this summer and he believed he’d have chances in the first team.
Bate made the bench in the opening three games in the Championship but has since dropped back down to the under-21s where he has played the full 90 minutes of the last four games in the Premier League 2.
Fans have taken to social media to discuss the “mystery”, but opinion is split on whether he could cut it in the Championship.
This fan is shocked that the youngster’s game time has been so scarce.
Another suggested that considering numerous Leeds bosses haven’t taken to Bate, he should depart Elland Road.
One supporter admitted that Bate certainly has something about him but suggested that perhaps Farke simply doesn’t rate him enough.
One fan simply thinks he is not Championship quality.
One fan speculated that the boss may think Bate doesn’t have the physicality to perform in the league but slammed that notion as a “joke”.
This supporter thinks the club may come to regret not giving the former Chelsea man his opportunity.
This fan was baffled that Farke has ignored Bate after his “masterclass” in a pre-season game against Man United.
One fan claimed that Leeds’ rejection of loan offers proves they do value him, but can’t figure out why he has been starved of chances.
This fan reeled off Bates’ impressive traits and deemed it “curious” that he’s not in the German’s plans.
