Jonny Buchan and Kaiser Chiefs' bassist Simon Rix have been contemplating what the future holds for Joel Piroe on the latest episode of Don't Go To Bed Just Yet.

Buchan told the BBC Radio Leeds podcast: "There's been some talk about Joel Piroe, hasn't there? You know, he didn't play in the game at the weekend against RB Leipzig, even though it was a 120-minute game. And that would suggest the thought process after that is that he's just down the pecking order.

"That's what Daniel Farke has sort of suggested. And therefore that will probably mean he will likely go out somewhere if someone comes for him, surely?"

Rix said: "I don't really understand the logic. I guess there's some wages and stuff like that, but he's definitely third in the pecking order.

"I guess, with Wilson coming in as well, he's down the pecking order for kind of number 10-ish as well. So I don't know. It just seems like the end of the line.

"It's just like, just go in a nice way and go do something else. And Leeds fans will always rate you and have, you know, be happy for your contribution. Whereas now, It's souring it a little bit."
