Archie Grey was the man of the match, and Joseph scored twice, first from a header following a brilliant cross from Jaidon Anthony and later off a Chelsea error.Right now, Patrick Bamford is the top pick.
The former England player has been scoring lately; on Saturday, he scored in the 1-1 tie with Huddersfield. Joel Piroe, a substitute, has been struggling with his form since the beginning of the year.
After the match, former Leeds player Aidy White was questioned if Joseph should start the game or get more playing time. Joseph had been on for the better part of thirty minutes against Stoke. He believes Bamford is still right now.
White said to BBC Radio Leeds that he “deserves game time,” adding that it is a challenging one. “His intelligence in knowing when to drive and when to keep the ball showed out, but I don’t think he deserves to start ahead of Pat.
“I was impressed by the young lad’s intelligence and ability to manage games.” almost achieved the objective. He will release a lot of things. However, going ahead of Pat initially? Challenging to put it mildly,” he remarked.
Aidy White says Patrick Bamford still starts over Mateo Joseph
This week, Daniel Farke stated that Joseph might start games and play more minutes. Meanwhile, Ilia Gruev lauded the young player, asking Leeds supporters to be thrilled about his potential.
White is correct, though. Given his exceptional talent, Joseph ought to occasionally receive a chance to play. However, Bamford is now the player Leeds must rely on with ten crucial league games remaining in the chase for automatic promotion.

Leeds United already have right-back in mind ahead of summer window – Report
Bright Osayi-Samuel, a right-back for Fenerbahce, is reportedly still wanted by three Championship teams, including Leeds United.
Although Leeds will have plans in place for the summer window, they are open to alter because the club is unsure of the league they will play in next season.
But whether a promotion is earned or not, certain positions—namely, both full-back slots—remain a top priority for the summer.
Leeds United still keen on Fenerbahce’s Bright Osayi-Samuel – Report
Leeds is one of the few teams attempting to sign Bright Osayi-Samuel, a right-back for Fenerbahce, according to Turkish publication Aksam.
An undisclosed club’s approach for the full-back was earlier turned down for €10 million (£8.5 million).
The Nigerian international, who was formerly with QPR, played as a tricky winger before switching positions and becoming a right-back.
He has made 26 appearances this season in all competitions, scoring three goals and providing four assists to help Nigeria finish as the runners-up in the AFCON.
Wolves, Crystal Palace and Rennes all keen on Osayi-Samuel too
According to the article, Crystal Palace and Wolves, two English teams in the Premier League, are interested in signing the 26-year-old in addition to Leeds in 2024.
Having had Djed Spence and Joe Rodon on loan last season, Rennes is considering signing the defender elsewhere in Europe.
Osayi-Samuel would be good in the Championship, not in the PL
Although Osayi-Samuel’s success in the Turkish top division is positive if we’re considering recruiting a Championship player for the summer, it doesn’t mean we’re moving up.
No matter what division we play in, we will need a right-back in the summer because Connor Roberts, who is on loan, is the only natural fit for the position.
I would look elsewhere if we were planning for the Premier League, even though Osayi-Samuel may provide solid depth.
