Leeds United's needs mean it could be time for Jesse Marsch to unleash his not-so-secret weapon

Leeds United's young forward, Joe Gelhardt turned 20 on Wednesday. He has had a season of milestones, as he made his first-team debut for the Whites in the Carabao Cup, a Premier League debut at Southampton, before scoring his first goal in the competition against Chelsea and making his first start in it against Arsenal.

More recently, he scored his first-ever winning goal in the division as his stoppage-time strike sealed three points against Norwich. Throughout the season, fans have called for more of Gelhardt.

Leeds have struggled in the centre forward department as Patrick Bamford has been injured for the vast majority of the games and neither Rodrigo nor Tyler Roberts were trusted to play regular minutes there in his stead.
