Leeds United supporters could not hide their disappointment as Wilfried Gnonto, Georginio Rutter and Weston McKennie were all named on the bench for their game against Brighton.
Leeds take on high-flying Brighton this afternoon as Javi Gracia looks for his squad to repeat their win over Southampton during their last match at Elland Road. The Whites know that victory this afternoon will be a crucial step forward in their bid to maintain their Premier League status.
With 13 games to go, there was cause for optimism as Rodrigo and Luis Sinisterra were deemed fit enough to be named on the bench for Leeds. However, whether they are able to make an impact and just how long for is yet to be seen.

Gracia did raise some eyebrows as he handed starts to Patrick Bamford and Jack Harrison, both of whom have struggled in recent weeks. Gnonto, Rutter and McKennie were all named on the bench as Marc Roca returned to the starting XI in one of two changes made by the former Watford boss.
Despite the return of both Rodrigo and Sinisterra to the matchday squad, fans could not hide their disappointment over what they saw as a lacklustre starting line-up to take on Brighton, as they took to social media to vent their frustration ahead of kick-off.
