Tony Brown has smashed into Wilfried Gnonto after Leeds United drew 0-0 against West Brom at The Hawthorns on August 17.

The BBC pundit labelled the Italian as "Woeful" as he fired a rare shot over the bar after creating space in the first half.

It was a frustrating afternoon for both sides with few clear-cut chances, but Daniel Farke will be happier with his defence than looking at the final third after a dreadful week.

Speaking live on BBC Radio WM [1:19 pm, 17 August], Brown was impressed with the winger until the final touch which ruined his hard work.

"Gnonto is annoyed with himself," he said.

"He should have done better, it's just outside the box there, he did a little dummy, and sent the Albion player the wrong way but the final shot was woeful."

Wilfried Gnonto to stay at Leeds United?

With Crysencio Summerville gone and Georginio Rutter not far behind, Gnonto has to take on the main man tag at Elland Road this season.

Although chances were not frequent at The Hawthorns, he was disappointed with himself for not at least hitting the target from the edge of the box.

Dan James, Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford didn't even get the chance to have a shot in the entire 90 minutes, so that will need to be looked at by Farke.

Daniel Farke is in his second season as Leeds United manager.

It was clear that the Whites were on their travels with the main goal of damage limitation, something that did not go down well with the fans.

Not many will remember Gnonto striking over, or even the match entirely should results start to pick up fairly quickly, starting at Sheffield Wednesday next up.

The Whites are set to block any last-gasp exit for Gnonto [Give Me Sport], with an early window bid rejected from Everton to back that up [Nancy Froston].

Hopefully, things can start looking up quickly, it is needed.
