I was very impressed with him at Colchester. Looked a better prospect than BPF if I'm honest

Re: Leeds United Under-23's thread
Huffer and Male are also decent at this level for me...All our keepers could play mid table Championship football imo, two or three could have prem class

Re: Leeds United Under-23's thread
So, those of you who have been paying a lot of attention to the U23s this season who are the ones to watch?
Who can you see making a big impact on the first team next season and what attributes do they bring?

Re: Leeds United Under-23's thread
Struijk - commanding CB, with a decent turn of pace. Prefer to play him at CB to Berardi.YorkshireSquare wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 7:50 pm So, those of you who have been paying a lot of attention to the U23s this season who are the ones to watch?

Bogusz - number 10, runs at people and intelligent, bit similar to Saiz.
Gotts - energetic, can play plethora of positions.
Stevens - creative winger with a good eye for a pass.
Kun - powerful lad, bit similar to Aguero in the way he plays.
Keep an eye on Theo Hudson from the u18s for the u23s this year.
Re: Leeds United Under-23's thread
I'd add Edmondson and Hugo Diaz to the list imo
Edmondson is developing and seems to have trimmed down a bit, made himself a bit faster and a bit more dynamic, big lad to and Bielsa has traditionally preffered 6ft+ powerful strikers.
Diaz is 22 now so its now or never, he is the u23 Captain and has developed into a dm (Phillips role) ,good on the ball , not afraid to put a tackle in and decent reader of the game. Be a decent backup option in that role imo.

Re: Leeds United Under-23's thread
Oduor looks a bit special, strong quick intelligent left wing back. Needs work on his defence
Halme or Struick would be an upgrade on Cooper right now. Indeed they're bonding as a pair and could both start fairly soon.
Big fan of Diaz, didn't look at all phased when he made his first team appearance and see's passes a few of our first team don't
Wouldn't throw out Kamil Miazek either ..looks potentially a good keeper, I think he's probably technically better than BPF right now

Re: Leeds United Under-23's thread
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Diaz leave this summer actually. He was benched for the last few games and at 22, he needs to be playing real football.

Re: Leeds United Under-23's thread
Don't think Diaz was benched for football reasons, he was excellent last game he played we just rotated a lot in the U23's ...

Re: Leeds United Under-23's thread
In the one game I have seen the U23's live, Diaz was excellent, as was Miazek.
Odour looked really good as well, better than Davis if I'm honest.
But the best player on the night was Jordan Stevens. Useful back up for Pablo to give him rest time when needed I think.

Re: Leeds United Under-23's thread
I'm disappointed Stevens didn't get more game time when Clarke was out. He would be a good option to bring off the bench, quite similar in style to Clarke as well.Chilli D wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 1:38 pm In the one game I have seen the U23's live, Diaz was excellent, as was Miazek.

I'm pretty sure when we signed Stevens he was a CM? Club must have felt he was better as a winger.
