Vi møter definitivt sterkere motstand enn i forrige kamp. McDermott vil la første gruppe / lag spille 60 minutter, deretter nye 11 spillere i 30 minutter.
Byram og Ashdown er fremdeles ute. Austin har sluttet seg til troppen og skal spille de siste 30 minuttene. Laget har trent hardt i går. Dersom det er like varmt fremdeles, kan det bli en hard tørn, skjønt denne gangen går kampen på kveldstid.
@LUFC: TEAM NEWS: United (first 60 mins): Cairns, Peltier, Lees, Pugh, Warnock, Norris, Green, Brown, White, Hunt, Poleon.
@LUFC: TEAM NEWS: United (final 30 mins): Kenny, Thompson, Killock, Pearce, Drury, Austin, Murphy, Tonge, McCormack, Varney, Smith. #lufcslovenia
Leeds United: I’m happy with progress - McDermott
by Phil Hay
Published on the13 July
2013
Brian McDermott has insisted he was “very happy†with Leeds United’s progress and claimed he was confident of having his squad in shape before the season starts on August 3.
Leeds will contest their first Championship game against Brighton in exactly three weeks’ time and McDermott gave an optimistic outlook as he assessed the extent of the work in front of him.
United’s manager was unable to offer any encouragement about incoming transfers, admitting only that his pursuit of a long-standing but elusive target remained ongoing, and he is still to receive firm approaches for any of the players he intends to move off the wage bill at Elland Road.
But speaking ahead of Leeds’ third pre-season friendly, staged against FC Domzale in Slovenia this evening, McDermott insisted that his strategy was coming together despite the wait for further developments in the transfer market.
McDermott said: “By the time we get to August 3 we need to make sure we’re in a certain place but I’m sure we will be. I’m very happy with where we are and the situation as it stands.
“I’m still targeting one signing at the moment, the signing I’ve been targeting for a long time.
“We’re trying to get this particular player and it’s not happening just yet but we need to try and do that. For me he’d be an important player.
“But the lads who are here are buying into what we’re doing.
“You’re looking to get as much fitness into the boys as possible but they’ve come back really fit so it’s actually been easy for us. If anything it’s hard to get them off the training pitch.
“The mood is good and you can’t manufacture that. You’ve either got it or you haven’t and we’ve got it.â€
United’s players were due to train again this morning, completing a session prior to the second game of their three-match Slovenian tour.
Right-back Sam Byram worked alone with head physiotherapist Harvey Sharman while United players trained close to their base in Ptuj yesterday and his injured hip will not be risked against Domzale tonight.
The majority of McDermott’s squad is available, however, with Rodolph Austin in line to make his first pre-season appearance.
Leeds overran a week regional XI in Murska Sobota on Wednesday evening but they are facing a Premier League side in Domzale, one who finished last season in third position. A clash with Ferencvaros ends the tour next Tuesday.
McDermott said: “The opposition are getting better and stronger.
“They (Domzale) are a good side and then we play another very good side next week.
“Tonight is a different ball game to Wednesday so we need to be right.
“At the moment I’m not thinking about the first game of the season or anything like that, just about what we’re doing next.
“I’ll probably only do that the week before (Brighton).
“I need to concentrate solely on the work we’re doing now. Everyone will want to play in the first game and that’s how it always is.
Everyone should want to play in every game.
“As long as the players conduct themselves in the right manner whether they’re chosen or not, which they will do, that’s the sort of ethos we’re looking for.â€
Burde være bra motstand. Omtrent på samme nivå som laget Celje som møtte Tromsø IL i kval til Europaligaen nylig. Gutta har hatt tøff trening og lite overskudd.
Imponerende hvor mange fans som har tatt turen til Slovenia. Respekt
Her var det stille.... ::) Kampen er ca. 15 minutter gammel.
1-0, Poleon
Juhu ;D
Juhu x 2
Til pause med ledelse 1-0.
Er dette et topplag i Slovenia?
Ser at de skulle møtt Celje i ligakamp denne helgen, men den blei utsatt pga møtet med Leeds.
Celje er vel det laget som Tromsø slo ut?
Morsomt om Poleon slår til i år, har stor tru på han :)
Imponerende med 800 Leeds fan I Slovenia!
Flott med ny Chairman, ny manager og noen lovende Nye spillere!
Jeg er mer optimist iår enn jeg har vært på 10 år!

LUFC McDermott not happy with defeat
Leeds United boss Brian McDermott was far from happy after his side lost their first pre-season game of the season in Slovenia.
Leeds led with just eleven minutes remaining, but two avoidable goals saw them beaten by FC Domzale.
The Leeds boss thought the game could have been out of sight in the opening half hour, with chances his side created. He made wholesale changes on the hour, but he says the side sat too deep in the whole of the second half and they need to learn how to win a game ugly.
"First 30-minutes I thought we were good and could have been three up," McDermott told Yorkshire Radio.
"In the second half we just played in front of them. We made a lot of changes after 60-minutes, we weren`t functioning and we weren`t flowing with the ball. They pushed up on us and I have told the players, sometimes if you are 1-0 up, if you have to win a game ugly, then so be it.
"I know we have trained a lot and about fitness but more importantly it is about winning. We are Leeds United, we have to win games, and that is what is important to me.
"There are different ways of winning and that was a game we should have won ugly and we didn`t."
The one bright note was a third goal in three games for young striker Dominic Poleon in the first half.
Poleon has now netted in his last four games for Leeds, this time his goal came when he was on hand to score after Paul Green saw his effort parried by the Domzale goalkeeper.
Leeds have one game remaining in Slovenia when they face Hungarian side Ferencvaros on Tuesday night.

LUFC Leeds lose late on in Slovenia
Leeds United lost their first pre-season friendly as they went down to two late goals in Slovenia against FC Domzale.
FC Domzale finished third in the Slovenian league and are on the eve of their new season and ahead of Leeds on fitness in pre-season.
For Leeds, Brian McDermott played the starting eleven for the opening hour with young goalkeeper Alex Cairns playing the 90 minutes, whilst the other ten outfield players all changed.
Dominic Poleon gave Leeds the lead just before the half hour. The young striker was on hand to finish after Paul Green saw his effort parried by the goalkeeper.
The goal for Poleon was his third in three games.
The wholesale changes to the side on the hour changed the momentum of the game.
FC Domzale equalised with eleven minutes remaining and in the final minutes, a deflected shot of Leeds defender Ross Killock left Cairns wrong footed.
Leeds will now prepare for their final game of the three game tour of Slovenia against Hungarian side Ferencvaros on Tuesday night.
United (first 60 minutes):
Cairns, Peltier, Lees, Pugh, Warnock, Norris, Green, Brown, White, Hunt, Poleon.
United (final 30 minutes):
Cairns, Thompson, Killock, Pearce, Drury, Austin, Murphy, Tonge, McCormack, Varney, Smith

Jepp,det trengst fart i forsvaret ;D
Pugh er en utgiftpost på 10k i uka, McD har nok lyst til å bruke den lønna på noen andre. At Grayson kjøpte han for 500k er jo til å begynne å grine av. Når man ser Peterborough kjøpe Gayle for samme sum og selge han for 9 ganger så mye + add ons(6 måneder etter) så er det bare trist..

Jeg så Leeds borte mot Sarpsborg for noen år siden og alt må være bedre enn det. Slappe, utrente og ingen innsats, tror pre-season i dag er litt annerledes..
Høydepunktene ser ut som " a game of two halves". Vi dominerer og skaper det som er av sjanser. Kun et par ufarlige langskudd av Domzale, og ledelsen burde vært klarere enn 1-0.
Andre omgang viser ingen sjanser skapt av Leeds. Domzale skaper det som er. Vinnermålet er av den heldige sorten. Skuddet går innom Killock (tror jeg), og Cairns blir utspilt.
