Good Morning Everyone Leeds under 23's suffered their fist defeat of the season at Bolton last night. Similar to the senior squad, Leeds dominated poossession but were unable to break down a stubborn Bolton defence. Two breakaway goals, one in each half caused the damage. Birmingham City have accused Leeds of trying to cheat during the second half by trying to introduce a multi-ball system. At the start of each game clubs must decide whether they want to make use of a single ball throughout a game, or use ballboys to throw another ball to a player every time one goes out of play. Leeds chose the single ball. Leeds obviously wanted to speed things up in the second half, but the fourth official was on hand to ensure Birmingham kept their advantage. Things are not working out for Hadi Sacko in Las Palmas. In total, he has managed just 59 minutes of football across three league appearances. To make matters worse, he has not even made the bench in the last two matches. Izzy Brown is well and truly on the comeback trail. Asked about his progress while using the facilities at Leeds Beckett university, Brown told LUTV: “It’s gone really well here today; I’ve just been doing some hop tests and jump tests to see the strength in my right leg compared to my left. It’s great that they have these facilities here where injured players like myself can come and do tests that we might not necessarily be able to do at the training ground. “After watching the lads during the matches I just want to get out onto the pitch and play but I know I’ve got to wait for my time and hopefully do everything right, get stronger everyday and be back before anyone knows it.”
Last nights result should have been 4-1 Leeds as Stevens, Dalby, Edmondson all missed the target countless times and not just them. We were dominant and their keeper had a blinder, just one of those games. Aapo Halme had a great game and played all 90 mins so is back and fit.
Morning all. Heading off shortly on a six hour round trip up north and not much looking forward to it. Catch up later
Morning Matt and all Surprised we chose the single ball system, as we play a high tempo game. No surprise about Sacko, always looked a poor player. Good news on Brown, we could have done with him on Saturday.
Lots of talk that we are chasing a young kid from Non League Kidderminster harriers along with B/Mouth, Villa and more. Williams I believe is a free scoring midfielder?
Morning Doc, indeed he he. Kidderminster only signed him a season ago, but so far this season he has scored 5 goals in 6 appearances. His contract runs out next Summer...
Good morning everyone Just goes to show how you learn something new everyday, as i never knew their was such a thing as a single ball/multi ball system.
Morning all The irony of Birmingham accusing Leeds of cheating Should’ve kicked the **** out of them to give them a proper reason for getting treatment instead of rolling around feigning injury and generally time wasting
Good morning Matt & everyone Watched the first-half of the U23's game. We had plenty of possession however created very few chances & wasted the two we had, whereas Bolton were clinical in front of goal & could have been two up but for the woodwork at half-time. Impressed with Halme & the full-back Gott who looks very good going forward. Still unconvinced any of the U23's are ready for the first-team yet.
We need Brown fit as soon as possible. An upgrade on Baker who looked ordinary last night as he did when I saw him in the York friendly As for Sacko he is a sheer waste of space
