I don’t mind having the academy teams in the competition for various reasons (good test for them, us, potential loan targets etc) however agree that Leeds fielding an 18s team isn’t the best circumstance.

One of the fortunate ones to have been last night; shape looked more fluid tonight with players interchanging and covering each other. Burgess looks a really good signing, not afraid to get forward, solid in the tackle and vocal. Cassidy and Charles has some good link up play, Uwakwe oozed skill and composure. Think we missed Conneely Saturday just to act as an outlet instead of playing long balls, and it was clear last night that having a holding midfielder in the side will be a huge benefit.
Some really good competition for places now in the squad with Finley,McConville, Pritchard and Bishop among others to still become available.

Viva Accy. Could we....

Josh - I don't think a 16 year old centre forward (who looked 14) was ever going to trouble the back three do you ? Utter waste of time. Why enter the competition when clearly they weren't going to take it seriously ?
