Daniel Farke reveals Leeds United striker hope, experimentation and new opinion on Georginio Rutter
The Pilgrims largely thwarted Dutch forward Piroe at Elland Road on Saturday, limiting the 24-year-old to just two attempts on Conor Hazard's goal as the two teams could not be separated. Leeds' 1-1 draw means a replay will be required to decide which team progresses to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup, the result putting an end to United's 100 per cent start to 2024 with five wins from their five previous matches.
Piroe has recently had to settle for a place on the bench, after starting in the majority of Leeds' games during the first half of the season. A return to form for Patrick Bamford has led Farke to persist with the experienced striker ahead of Piroe, while tweaking creative lynchpin Georginio Rutter's position on the field.
