Cibicki has failed to feature at all under new Leeds United manager Paul Heckingbottom.
Pawel Cibicki dropped down to Leeds United’s Under-23s on Friday, having failed to feature in any of Paul Heckingbottom’s three games as manager.
And the Swede wasted little time showing the new boss what he’s been missing out on, scoring twice within the first two minutes for Leeds’ second string against Sheffield Wednesday at Thorp Arch.
Wednesday hit back almost immediately, thanks to an Almen Abdi penalty, after George Hirst was fouled, before the latter – a rumoured Leeds target – levelled the scores after half time.
But the hosts snatched the points with three minutes remaining when Adrian Balboa rounded Wednesday ‘keeper Dan Wallis and stroked into an empty net.
Cibicki’s performance was the main talking point afterwards, however – at least from a Leeds perspective – with several Whites fans calling for his inclusion in the coming weeks and months.
Cibicki, who moved to Leeds from Malmo FF last summer, has only made 10 appearances for his new employers and registered two assists.
Does Cibicki deserve another chance at first team level?
