U21s: Leeds vs United

Musa starting could hint at Obi being involved on Monday. Either that or we'll go Scanlon-Biancheri-Mantato.
 
Has Overy been playing a lot on the wing? I thought he was seen mostly as a fullback when we signed him.

Not really but he has played there before & is pretty much the only option. Sharpe & Missin injured, Scalon & Mantato rested for the FAYC & Lusale just back from 3 international fixtures.
 
Jeez, why are they filming from the ground? Between the dugout is a tower the cameraman can stand on.
 
We played reasonably well up until the 2-0 goal - after that we have been garbage. Especially our left-side is being overrun all the time
 
Our goalkeeper lucky again - a corner straight into goal, but the ref disallowed for a foul in the box
 
We were decent enough till the first goal, but rubbish since.
Moorhouse's close control is fantastic. The right wing is okeish, but the left wing is weak.
 
Playing with the wind should make a sizeable difference second half. You can see it's even holding up when we're trying to dribble with the ball.
 
It might be the crazy angle that makes it look as if we can shoot but don't, otherwise it is strange not shooting
 
Brilliant goal from Kone, who has again been impressive. Keep saying it, but I think he was quietly the most important signing of last summer.
 
And now he’s just won a penalty (brilliantly, if I may add).

There needs to be a plan for Moorhouse come the summer.

Definitely.
Thought he was excellent today. The best in the first half and he and Kobe were fantastic in the second half.
There is something very special in the way he carries the ball

I missed most of the 2nd half (stupid job) - but what I noticed in the first half was that our central midfielders were extremely static and were nowhere to be found when Fredricson and Mills tried to play out from the back. That's the one area where especially Kone needs to improve - he has to make himself much more available if he is going to play in that area. It's quite clear - going forward, and with the ball at his feet - he is good enough. But he must want the ball more - and show that he can pick the ball up in defence without losing it.

It looked as if in the second half they twicked with Kone and Moorhouse. Instead of Moorhouse playing in front of Kone they were more in one line, so Moorhouse was more available to the defenders and Kone more free to go forward. That made the difference.
