“Embarrassing”, “awful” and ” one of the worst performances and results that the club has suffered in a cup competition for a long time”.

That was the damning verdict of Leeds’s insipid Carabao Cup exit at troubled Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday from the Don’t Go To Bed Just Yet panel.

Daniel Farke’s team followed up their 5-0 defeat at Arsenal with a 1-1 draw and subsequent defeat on penalties at the Championship side who fielded a youthful team, with an average age of 21, including four 20-year-olds and five teenagers.

“It has to be up there with one of the worst performances and results that the club has suffered in a cup competition for a long time,” BBC Radio Leeds’ Jonny Buchan said.

“The gulf in perceived class was players with a value of £106m starting the game versus not even the first choice youth team at Sheffield Wednesday because many of them have been sold. It is a huge, huge upset.”

“It is right up there with some of Leeds’ most embarrassing defeats,” added BBC Radio Leeds reporter Adam Pope.

“The only player on that Wednesday team anyone has probably ever heard of was Jamal Lowe. The rest were pretty much teenagers. They made 10 changes, played mainly kids, scored a worldie, and went through on penalties.

“They only had eight players on the bench. The club is in disarray. Hillsborough is a mess. Everything is wrong about that club at the moment.

“Leeds rock up with debutants trying to prove something – some big-name players.

“You look at the stats and they have all the possession, all the play, but you cannot take any positives out of that game because ultimately they failed to beat a weak academy side. It was like a training game.

“There is just nothting to commend it. It was embarassing. There is not getting around it – it was awful.”
