The Chelsea player moved to Leeds United on loan in August.

Leeds Uniteds Izzy Brown warms up during the Sky Bet Championship match between Middlesbrough and Leeds United at Riverside Stadium on February 9, 2019 in Middlesbrough, England.

Leeds United supporters are reacting after Izzy Brown made his long-awaited first-team debut against Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday. Brown moved to Leeds on a season-long loan from Chelsea at the end of August, but hadn’t played since January after suffering a serious knee injury while at Brighton and Hove Albion.

It took until mid-November for the forward to make his first appearance for the Whites’ Under-23s and a further three months for Marcelo Bielsa to try him out at first team level.

But when Brown’s chance finally arrived with nine minutes to play at Loftus Road, the outcome was, perhaps unsurprisingly, a rusty performance.

In that time the 22-year-old conceded two fouls, was booked for one and failed to complete a single pass, according to WhoScored.com.

And some Leeds fans, who had watched their side lose 1-0 against QPR, were unsympathetic afterwards.

This is what they’re saying about Brown on Twitter…

And while not everyone was quite so scathing of the Chelsea-owned player’s cameo, tweets like these are few and far between…

Will the on-loan Chelsea player come good for Leeds?
