A lot of Leeds United fans were very happy to see Jean-Kevin Augustin on Saturday.
With 20 minutes to go and with Leeds trailing 1-0, Marcelo Bielsa decided that it was time to introduce the Frenchman, and this had many Whites fans excited.
Was it good to see Augustin make his debut?
Yes, he will make a difference soon
No, looked off the pace
Unfortunately for them, Augustin could not make any real impact, and Leeds instead conceded another goal in stoppage time to condemn themselves to a 2-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest.
However, for a brief moment, these Leeds fans were excited to see Augustin.
Big Kev getting ready. #lufc

What do we think?
The 22-year-old, who is valued at £12.6m by Transfermarkt, was making his first-team debut for the Whites, receiving a 4/10 rating from the Yorkshire Evening Post and a 5.92 match rating from WhoScored.
While his debut did not exactly go to plan, this is only the start for Augustin, and if he gains match fitness quickly, he could be a useful player for Leeds.
However, Marcelo Bielsa said last Thursday that Augustin is not ready to start just yet.
Although, his appearance on Saturday was probably one of the few positives from an otherwise horrible day for Leeds.
