Scratch that: Leeds United play a representative side from Slovenia’s Pomurje region tonight. Pomurje have named a 26-man squad: Denis Banfi (NK Grad), Matej Andrejč, Damjan Kaučič, Rok Ropoša, Jernej Trstenjak (NK Veržej), Jernej Janža, Jaka Šafer, Damjan Grah (NK Tromejnik), Uroš Bagari, Marko Lapoši, Rok Godvajs, Aleš Kalamar (NK Rakičan), Mitja Mauko, Tomaž Recek (NK Čarda), Tadej Vogrinec, Primož Smolkovič, Aljoša Kuzmanovski (NK Ljutomer), Jernej Slavič, Aleš Kerec, Jernej Tkalec, Marko Smodiš (ND Beltinci), Dejan Mlinarič, Mitja Žerdin, Dejan Sreš, Rok Vouri, Bojan Matjašec (NK Odranci). Dejan Sreš, a 25-year-old midfielder, is considered to be the pick of Pomurje’s bunch. All 26 of the players selected feature domestically in Slovenia’s third division east.
Am I right in saying though there already into there season? So they should be match ready and sharp. I'm sure that was one of the reasons we went a few years ago but I could be wrong
While I don't question the wisdom of BeeMacDee to start the pre-season preparations with such lowly opposition, no disrespect intended, I do marvel and give props to how many fans have taken the time and incurred the expense to travel to watch a game againts this level of opposition. Well done boys and girls!
Millwoe only get a fraction of that number to come to the shrine of Elland Road when they are fortunate enough to be in the same division as us. This season may be their last chance in a number of years/ever again!
Apparently in response to our fans chanting "It's your round Brian" he went and gave them around 50 euros. Quality guy
