Mick McCarthy has told Leeds United loanee Ian Poveda he'll get his opportunity despite being left on the bench against Rotherham United. The Whites midfielder started in McCarthy’s first game in charge in an FA Cup defeat to Southampton.
The Tangerines boss was full of praise for Poveda, but he's played just nine minutes of action in the following three league games. The decision to exclude the Leeds loanee has been a talking point amongst supporters on social media.
The Seasiders have not won in the Championship since October, but McCarthy told The Gazette: “It wasn’t the game for him on Saturday, that’s for sure.
