Great Lewis Bate goal but our babies in defence are not coping with seasoned pros. But 5-3 only shows we are still great on offence but dire at the back using U17s
Beaten again 3-2 with McGurk scoring and Nohan Kenneh. Amad Diallo the kid worth multi millions scored an 87th minute winner and it was a worldy. Suppose it was a decent result because Greenwood and McKinstry and Allen all were unlucky as the Man Utd keeper kept them in it, but when your best players are not available as even Lewis Bate was missing, is he on yhe bench tomoz too?
I saw that bate was not involved and maybe bielsa is going to bench him. Give him a taste of first team matchday.
Tonight is another dodgy game in the EFL Cup against Mansfield and guess what we have around 24 players out ofbthe club on International duty and plenty of those are from the U23s so the gobshyte at the YEP says its ok because Jacko can have a look at the U18s, no you thick ****stain because we also have U18s and U16s missing on International duty. So tonights team will be made up of kids as young as 14/15/16/17 what a waste of space these comps are because if you cannot field your best team its a waste of time. These comps were supposed to be getting Prem U21s ready for mens football, but so far this season we havent been able to feild our best team because of firstly first team injuries and secondly not enough time between league games and cup comps like EFL and Papa Johns. These games always come around when we have had a league match on Saturdayand another league match the following Friday with a cup game in between and you cannot havethese kids playing 3 games in 6 or 7 days and why put them when an International break is on ffs when we only have the greenkeepers available
FT: Leeds United U23s 2-1 Mansfield Town U23s Leeds United U23s with a deserved victory - but they had to earn it. First three points on the board in the PL Cup this season. Christy, Dean and Gray all very impressive tonight. Goals from McGurk and Dean
1pm Friday at TA we play Cheslea and it seems Jacko has a full squad back from International duty. Not sure what time Bielsa is doing his Spurs presser but by noon we should see what team Jacko puts out. Will we see any first teamers getting some minutes will we see Joffy fit again, will we see a full strength side or will we field a wakened side to accommodate the first team bench again?
Checked again with TA about fan access & they confirmed that no-one will be allowed entry this season, most likely. It's all about protecting the 1st team to the nth degree, which I cannot really offer a winning argument against. Sigh! Roll on next year.
Another defeat Leeds 1-3 Chelsea To make it worse Lewis Baker scored a late penalty. We allowed them to score 2 set piece goals but had no Cresswell, Roberts scored a penalty for us and Joffy came on in the 2nd half but subbed off again as we need him on Sunday. This situation means we are now struggling at this level due to not being able to field our best team
