da brwin: Leeds United looked to have pulled off one of the signings of the summer when they brought Barry Douglas to Elland Road from Wolverhampton Wanderers in July, but eight months later his Whites career looks to very much be in serious doubt thanks to one man.
On the chalkboard
The 29-year-old certainly made an impressive start to life with the Yorkshire club having provided three assists in the opening eight Championship fixtures of the season, and it seemed as though he was going to form a strong partnership with Ezgjan Alioski on the left-hand flank.
However, some injury issues and subsequent loss of form saw the Macedonia international take up the left-back spot in January, and he hasn’t looked back since.
The 27-year-old has scored four goals and picked up two assists from that position in the league, and his stock continued to rise when he also netted in the same role for his country on Thursday night.
Douglas in trouble?
He may well be.
Are Leeds set for another spectacular fall from grace? Ingood Nick believes so in the video below…
The Scot has largely had to settle for cameo roles from the substitutes’ bench in recent weeks, and there is no doubt that as things stand Alioski is deservedly way ahead of him in the left-back pecking order.
There are also no signs of the Macedonian maestro slowing down as he appears to be improving game by game, and he looks to have the attributes and quality to make the position his own at Leeds for year to come.
That of course causes big issues for Douglas and despite being a great signing for the Whites at the time, in general he has turned out to be a disappointing addition and his Elland Road career may already be over less than 12 months after he joined.
