Leeds U18's & U23's Match Thread - Champions 2020/21

[The Subhuman]

Yes, group two to group one where Man City are running away with it I think

6 points from our last 4 games will guarantee promotion but we probably already have enough

Glowing report about Gelhardt's performance

[andrewjohnsmith]

Great to see our youth teams doing so well!

Do the u23s get promoted if they win the league?

Yes. Into the highest tier

Makes me wonder now if we'll keep more of our top prospects around next season since they'll be playing at a higher level.

Big win for the U18s tonight against MK Dons in the FA Youth Cup. 8-2. MK Dons had a player sent off but Leeds were already well in control before that. MacMillan the only name I really recognise but some good performances, especially the lad who played RWB.

Thanks for the answers guys. That would be great! Test ourselves against the big boys where we belong!

And we left some players out: Max Dean, Charlie Allen, Chilokoa-Mullen, Kris Moore

The U23s are currently in action at bottom-of-the-table West Brom. 1-0 up from a penalty, won by Summerville and converted by Gelhardt. Hard to tell if it really was a penalty from the camera angle provided. I think it's one where you're not happy if it's given against your team.

A nasty clash between Casey and their keeper just now means they need to make the change in goal and it looks like a bit of a bad one. Casey plays on with his head wrapped in bandages.

And it's 2. Jenkins wins the ball on the edge of the area and Summerville puts Gelhardt through. Tidy finish from him across the goal.

[The Subhuman]

Summerville sets up Geldherdt to make it 2-0 .. Nice finish form a narrow angle. 10 for Joe now

[The Subhuman]

Second pen for Geldherdt and a hat trick...Joe bought down in the box after some interplay passing from Summerville/Jenkins and Geldhert

3-0

[mothbanquet]

Our lads deal with pressure so well now, look very confident and decisive in possession. Will be interesting to see how they get on in the upper echelons of youth football.

[The Subhuman]

Going 13 points clear ..Stoke can mathematically still catch us but they have to win 5 games and we have to lose our last 3 ...

[The Subhuman]

Poveda opens up the defence with a lovely through ball and Summerville has escaped his marker and has a lot of time to find the back of the net

4-0

[The Subhuman]

Looks like WBA are down to 10 and nobody noticed on the commentary team ..2 yellows apparently. Greenwood has a FK just outside the area which draws a yellow for the foul and another for arguing where the wall should be for another WBA player

Greenwood then rubs salt into the wall with a stunning FK from 25 yards ...top left hand corner dipping wickedly

5-0

[The Subhuman]

Well worth watching it if you can find a clip ...

[The Subhuman]

Another booking for Albion ..late on Cresswell

[The Subhuman]

Not seen Davis play his best for a while now .. probably moving further away from the first team squad..

Geldherdt, Greenwood, Sumerville, and Drameh must all be close. Huggins too of course but not in Birmingham today

[The Subhuman]

Poveda again there rips them open and McCarron unlucky not to make it 6, very good save needed

[1964white]

Sam scores a screamer

[mothbanquet]

Well worth watching it if you can find a clip ...

The very definition of un-saveable!
