Pascal Struijk won’t be too keen to watch Leeds United’s performance at Aston Villa back. The Whites lost 2-1 at Villa Park to extend their winless run in all competitions to seven games and it was a miserable night for Struijk, who had a role to play in both goals conceded on the night.
The 23-year-old has performed well this season, stepping into the left-back role and making it his own during the first-half of the campaign. His performances have been enough to earn him a new long-term contract at Elland Road and plenty of praise along the way, too, as he continues to develop into a fine defender.
However, after two difficult performances in a row and the arrival of Max Wober, it’s fair to say his spot in Jesse Marsch’s starting XI is now in doubt. Struijk’s confidence took an initial beating at Cardiff City last weekend on a day he skippered the Whites.
