Dan James was Leeds United's super sub against Millwall and he could have a key role to play moving forward
Dan James’ natural place within the Leeds United fold hasn’t always been clear to the naked eye. The Wales international has played a variety of roles at Elland Road since making the switch from Manchester United in 2021.
Unfortunately, the winger has missed a couple of games through injury this season, but his last two performances have been enough to catch the eye. His outing against West Bromwich Albion in August was encouraging to say the least, finding joy down the left flank and setting up the Whites’ equaliser with a fine ball to the back post for Luke Ayling to head home.
It was that breakaway ability that created Leeds’ second goal as James burst away towards the box before combining with Georginio Rutter. He then found Joel Piroe unmarked at the back post, with what admittedly looked like a scuffed shot, and the Dutchman turned the ball home. Unfortunately, such impact might stand against him when it comes to his chances of starting for the Whites in the coming weeks, but when the game is stretched and Leeds need an injection of dynamism off the bench, Farke won’t be looking much further than James. The former Swansea City man has a critical role to play this season, that much is clear.
