Leeds United v Bolton Wanderers - League Cup, Official matchday thread

[Cjay]

still young, keen to take people on, showed some nice feet. Agree he could be a bit more aware

[The Subhuman]

Point is he's a ways away from pushing for a first team place...Blazes over there again for the second time...seems a waste.

[The Subhuman]

One for the future but not sure City will sell

[Cjay]

doubt we could afford

[The Subhuman]

Good take Blackman

[Cjay]

2-1 final score.

Bit iffy at times but thats ok, result that counts.

[The Subhuman]

2-1 Leeds, good first half, ragged second ....

[HarryofOz]

Opening three games won. First time since 1974.

anyone you saw who could have pushed there way into the 1st 11 Saturday?

[whiteswan]

Thank you once again faaip and Cjay....ecxellent coverage as usual

[NorfolkWhite]

great run from Shackleton, ball across the face of the goal, nobody there.

Deserved a touch in that cross.

[Chilli D]

We sort of stumbled over the line in the end but a win is a win. No apparent injuries and players who haven't been playing got a game so all is good.
Thought Saiz was excellent till he went off.

Baker maybe, Bamford should be starting soon at 7M

[NorfolkWhite]

Got stretched second half and we gave them a sniff, Baker looked full of running for the 90 and Shackleton did well, Bamford took his goal well but looked a few weeks short of being at full throttle.

[The Subhuman]

Random thoughts

Ayling looked awkward left side of CD
Shackleton looks one footed
Harrison is raw, talented but not ready
Blackman not far behind BPF but I think he is behind
Bamford looks good, maybe not Roofe good though.

[Cjay]

Thought Jansson looked a but dodgy.

Start him vs Rotherham though imo, he needs games and better to start vs teams we should beat.

[Cjay]

Baker maybe, Bamford should be starting soon at 7M

Baker looked decent but cant see him shifting Klich or Saiz.

[Cjay]

Deserved a touch in that cross.

Indeed.

Did well Shackleton . . Looks like he should be enjoying his summer holidays though.

I was watching the game and i saw many players play well for being a reserve team! Shackleton and Pearce played just as good as anyone else! For youngsters they are technically great, great prospects for the future!

Yep - of those who hadn’t started in the league all looked more than capable of coming in and doing a job if needed, good to have that pressure of quality on the bench.
