Lewis Baker turned his back on Leeds United in January in pursuit of regular football at Reading.

He is getting a chance to play regularly as he wished, but it’s not going too well.

Reading were thrashed 4-0 by Sheffield United on Saturday, with Baker playing all 90 minutes.

This was his sixth game for the Royals since making his move.

He had made 11 in total for Leeds over the first half of the season, with only two being starts.

The Chelsea youngster has failed to build on the potential he showed as a teenager and his start at Reading has been mediocre.

Saturday was not a good showcase of what he can do, with his only highlight being a late effort on goal which the goalkeeper tipped over, which would have been a consolation.

Reading supporters are beginning to question the 23-year-old, while Leeds fans are unsurprised at the way he is toiling.
