Joel Piroe struggled to make an impact against QPR as Leeds United lost 4-0
Joel Piroe's struggle for consistent game time in a Leeds United shirt is to blame for the lack of confidence he showed against QPR. That's the belief of former White, turned BBC Radio Leeds pundit, Jon Newsome after watching the Dutchman struggle to get a foothold in the contest at Loftus Road. With Patrick Bamford missing the clash due to injury, Piroe returned to the Whites’ starting line-up on Friday night in what was a must win game for Daniel Farke's side.
He's scored three league goals this calendar year but his impact has largely been limited and Newsome puts that down to his standing within the squad. 'Yeah, listen, he was poor today,' Newsome said after the loss in west London. 'What can I say really? He was poor, he was poor. He is obviously lacking in confidence, he has been in and out of the side. 'When you are dropped, you are not playing, your confidence takes a dip, but I don’t think it was just Piroe tonight.
