The Leeds United defender didn’t make it off the bench today.
Leeds United-owned Tyler Denton was an unused substitute for his loan club today.
Peterborough United beat Southend 2-0 but there was no room for the Thorp Arch graduate.
The Leeds defender started the 2-1 defeat by Coventry City last weekend in what was his first start in three successive games of being an unused sub.
But he was taken off after 56 minutes and his latest no-show suggests that the 23-year-old might’ve blown it last week.
It was a big chance for Denton to impress Posh boss Darren Ferguson, who has played him only three times since January 26.
But as things stand, it seems unlikely that the League One side will be signing him on a permanent basis this summer.
Denton, who has made only nine league appearances this season, has been a bit-part player for Peterborough and unless he fights his way back into contention and has a brilliant end to the campaign, he’ll be returning to Leeds, where he is contracted until 2020.
He’s a popular figure among some Whites fans, given he came through the academy, but he turns 24 in September and at this point it seems improbable that he has much future at Elland Road.
