Javi Gracia warned about 'missing Wilfried Gnonto trick' after Leicester draw
Former Leeds United defender Ben Parker has told Whites manager Javi Gracia that he 'missed a trick' by leaving fan-favourite Wilfried Gnonto on the bench for the entire game against Leicester earlier this week.
The 19-year-old is seen as one of the club's brightest young talents in years by supporters who were calling for him to be subbed on in the 1-1 draw against the Foxes, but Gracia decided instead to replace Luis Sinisterra with Crysencio Summerville.

In what has been a tough season for the Whites, Gnonto has often been a bright star but hasn't been given the chance to shine under the Spaniard in recent matches - something Parker believes must change to avoid relegation.
"If we brought Gnonto on – yeah he’s quality, dribbling is great – but what it would have done to Elland Road, the place would have erupted," Parker told LS11 after the match on Tuesday night.
"A big atmosphere with 20 minutes to go. We needed something like that. We missed a trick, there. Gnonto is a nasty git, he gets around people, he fights for the badge and we missed a trick not bringing him on."
Leeds United face relegation coin-flip chance as bookies and supercomputer update forecasts
Leeds United are currently the bookmakers' fourth favourites to suffer relegation from the Premier League this season.
The Whites are available on Sky Bet at 5/6 to face the drop, although they are still tipped to stay in the top-flight ahead of Everton (8/11); Nottingham Forest (4/6), and Southampton (1/10).
Leicester are 11/8 to be relegated despite being two places and one point behind Leeds in the Premier League rankings. The two sides drew 1-1 at Elland Road on Tuesday night after Luis Sinisterra's 20th-minute header was cancelled out by Jamie Vardy's equaliser 10 minutes from time.
Jack Harrison praises Illan Meslier's 'strong mentality' amid Leeds United criticism
Jack Harrison says Illan Meslier has a "strong mentality" to cope with the recent criticism aimed at him, and insists the players are fully behind him.
Meslier has come under scrutiny in recent weeks after he conceded 11 goals in the defeats against Crystal Palace and Liverpool respectively.
Jamie Carragher was among those who were critical of his recent performances, but Meslier responded well with a respectable display in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
