U21 - News & Fixtures 22/23

Leeds really up against it tonight simply because the first team have 3 games in 7 days, so no first teamers like Joffy or Gnonto etc, not even Kleasson in goal. Some U18s to pad it out and in fairness Bolton are not a bad outfit now

 

yeh apart from Robles (forgot we'd signed him!), McAlmont is 22 now (not sure why he's still with us really), Drameh 20, McGurk 19. Rest were 18 with a 17 year old left back. Not surprising they were up against it.

About The Competition
The Papa Johns Trophy is a midweek knockout cup competition which includes Clubs from EFL League One and League Two, plus an additional 16 invited sides from Premier League and EFL Championship clubs with Category One Academies.

The competition was first established in 1983 and offers Clubs a realistic opportunity of appearing in a showpiece final. Central to the competition is the introduction of a group stage format with 16 regional groups of four teams.

The groups are made up of one invited Category One side, with the remainder made up of EFL Clubs from either League One or League Two, with fixtures regionalised until the Quarter-Final stage of the competition.

The top two teams from each group will progress to the knockout stages of the competition with the Final staged at Wembley Stadium. The competition attracts over 200,000 spectators each season and a cumulative domestic TV audience of almost 400,000.

McKinstry scored a cracker for Motherwell against Rangers. His first start too.

 

I’m at the boro v Leeds u22s this morning. Blowing a hoolie. Willie playing so won’t be in squad tomorrow.

 

1-0 boro. Howler from lunde. Not his first in the game.

 

Miller on for gnonto. Both sides hit woodwork.

 

1-1 Joseph tap in after good save from keeper from Perkins . Boro had couple of chances to make it 2-0 just prior

 

2-1 Leeds. Mcgutk

 

3-1 Leeds Joseph

 

So we take off gyabi and gnonto - and look a better side second half.

 

how long left.im hoping to see them at elland rd this season.

 

3-2 sloppy. They had a chance just before too.

 

Last 5

 

4-2 Joseph hat-trick. Injury time.

 

4-2 full time

 

Bizarre booking for Joseph during the game… cross field pass went over his head and was going harmlessly out of play - he just jumped up and tried to catch it. Seen defenders do it to stop a throughball but never an outfield player.

 

Aren't defenders outfield (only in bold due to edit after I made a typing errror) players , although I do understand what you mean, its just I am easily amused

Seem to recall a similar incident on MotD from the 80's when a ball going out for for a throw in, and a player caught it, basically to stop it sailing off into the crowd, and more probably to get the game restarted quicker, as they were probably behind, and they got booked for it. Can't remember any actual details, so I may have made it all up, but its now a vision that is in my mind as being reality

 

What the hell is an outball player?

 

lol I meant outfield, then again maybe it's an American term that I've picked up from Marsch. Basically I have no excuse
