HARROGATE: UWE TO FIELD TWO TEAMS
Head coach previews the pre-season opener at Wetherby Road...

PUBLISHED 10 JULY 2015 AT 09:00

Uwe Rosler says he will ease his side into their pre-season friendlies by playing two different teams in each half of Friday evening’s visit to Harrogate Town (7.30pm kick-off).

The squad returned to Thorp Arch a fortnight ago and have been put through their paces with what Rosler describes as a “lot of high-intensity football games”, and the head coach is now hoping to take that into the game at Wetherby Road.

“I think we’re seeing it as a training session under game conditions,” he said.

“We’ll train before the game and we trained hard yesterday. We’re not preparing especially for that game, we’re taking it out of our training programme.

“It will be played at a good tempo. There will be two teams â€" everyone will play 45 minutes.

“I don’t want to risk any injuries by playing for too long. The players will play longer in the next game against York.

“Step-by-step, we will increase the amount of minutes for them.

“Hopefully we will get a good game with some goals.”

It will be the first glimpse of Rosler’s side in action for the travelling United fans, with a capacity crowd expected at Wetherby Road.

“I think it’s fantastic,” the head coach said. “It’s so much more fun and it’s great motivation for the players when two, three, four or five thousand away fans are watching the game.”

Reflecting on pre-season training so far, Rosler added: "There have been lot of high-intensity football games â€" small-sided but also 11 versus 11.

"We’re starting to work tactically as well on formation and pressing  and pattern of play.

"It’s been a colourful week. There has been a lot of volume in training and so far, so good.

"At this stage of pre-season the players should feel very tired, a little bit exhausted as well.

"If they were feeling too fresh now, I think we would have done something wrong.

"The players need a good balance between working them hard but also refreshing them and making sure we’re not losing players to injuries."

Fans view- Harrogate Town vs Leeds United Pre-Match

BY JONATHAN BRITTAIN ON    JUL 10, 2015

Now that we’re into July that only means one thing, pre- season friendlies are about to begin. Its time to see if the new players can incorporate themselves into the squad, and if the current players can hold any form from last season into the coming one.

Leeds United take the short trip to Wetherby Road and The CNG Stadium this evening, with a few new players hoping to make an impression on the fans and the management. Chris Wood is the big money signing, paying a reported £2.75M for the centre forward.

With this being the first match under new manager Uwe Rosler we are unsure what formation he will play. It is well known he is a fan of 4-3-3, which would suit Leeds well. I think it is likely this is how Leeds will start tomorrow, A similar defence to what we saw last season with Marco Silvestri in goal, Byram, Cooper, Bamba and Taylor, a midfield 3 of Cook, Mowatt and either Bianchi or Sloth and 3 in attack of Antenucci, Wood and probably Doukara.

With Luke Murphy being injured and out of action for 7 weeks it gives the management a chance to try out either Bianchi or Sloth, neither of which made a big impact last season. With the new formation it also gives chance for Sam Byram and Charlie Taylor to drop back into their more natural positions of right back and left back rather than on the wings.

Pre season is obviously a time to try out new things, and with players like new signing Lee Erwin and young stars such as Chris Dawson pushing for a start I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few surprises in Roslers team selection over the 2 Yorkshire friendlies against Harrogate and York. At the end of the day, nobody remembers a pre-season win against lower opposition but a loss would be remembered, especially as its against a local team.

With LUFC legend David Batty now on the payroll ay Harrogate Town it should be a friendly atmosphere, and a chance to see how our boys can preform going into a new era.

Stor sjanse til Harrogate, Silvestri med superredning.

Sesongen starter med mål imot.

[p0ndus]

Tenker at Røsler allerede nå bør ha en klar oppfatning om hvordan hlaget skal spille, og om hvem som bør inngå i startoppstillingen. Har derfor relativt liten sans for all denne testingen av ulike konstellasjoner mot dårlig motstand framfor og spille inn de han vil satse på , slik at de får terpet på samspillet. Les: klarer ikke de han tror på og få til et samspill mot dårlig motstand, tenker jeg at de neppe lyktes mot god motstand.  Således vil han få bedre tid til og finne den riktige startoppstillingen til seriestart.

1-1 Morison

Ã... se spillerne på trening, gir selvfølelig et bilde av hvordan de skikker seg mht. innsats, hvordan de fungerer i systemet som  skal spilles inn o.l.

Allikevel vil det være riktig å teste hvordan spillerne fungerer i kamp. Vi vet jo også hvordan enkelte ikke fungerer eller blir avskrevet av den ene manageren, mens samme person blomstrer under neste manager.

Jeg ser ikke noe problem med å bruke et par kamper for å sile ut  dem som skal danne stammen i en kommende førsteellever.

Leeds United: Morison’s header earns Whites a draw at Harrogate Town

Steve Morison heads goalwards for Leeds.
Phil Hay
22:39 Friday 10 July 2015

Leeds United’s group of strikers has increased at some expense this summer but it was left to Steve Morison, the club’s longest-serving forward, to earn a draw in their first friendly at Harrogate Town last night.

Morison converted a diving header three minutes into a second-half appearance, averting defeat against a disciplined and adventurous non-league side.

New head coach Uwe Rosler, who took charge of Leeds for the first time at Wetherby Road, gave non-competitive debuts to summer recruits Lee Erwin and Chris Wood before half-time but United were a goal adrift at the break and needed Morison’s goal to force a result.

Rosler played down the importance of the scoreline before kick-off but called for a performance of “high intensity” and the team used after half-time delivered on that demand after a low-key start to the club’s pre-season programme.

Leeds’ German boss, as he said he would, fielded different line-ups at the start of each half, both showing a mixture of experience and prominence.

His side before the interval was loaded with Wood and Erwin and two other forwards in Mirco Antenucci and Nicky Ajose. For the second 45 minutes, Sol Bamba was given the chance to reintegrate himself in a team which also included Billy Sharp.

Sharp is the player generating most outside interest at Elland Road and, speaking ahead of the friendly in Harrogate, Rosler did not go so far as confirming that Leeds would keep him for the start of the Championship season but the 29-year-old was part of the plan last night.

United were searching for an equaliser by the time Sharp took to the field with Morison. Rosler’s system in the first half relied on a back three and Ajose and Byram as wing-backs, leaving Erwin to tuck in behind Wood and Antenucci, but the better chances and the opening goal fell to Harrogate.


Goalkeeper Marco Silvestri pulled off a point-blank parry with his first touch after his defence misjudged a high ball and left Cecil Nyoni clean through and Silvestri reacted well again moments later to beat away a free-kick from Joe Colbeck.

Leeds redressed the balance of the game soon enough and pressure from Erwin drew a tackle inside the box which would have earned him a penalty in a more competitive match.

Wood then scraped the side-netting after breaking from halfway and beating three Harrogate players but Town forced another two good blocks from Silvestri inside 20 minutes.

The hosts survived two near misses of their own as Peter Crook got a hand to an Antenucci shot and Wood dragged a good chance wide as Erwin cut open the right side of Harrogate’s defence but the Conference North club took the lead in the 31st minute.


Silvestri was called on again when Paul Clayton’s free-kick flicked off a two-man wall but Nyoni was first to the rebound, completing the simple task of driving the ball into an empty net.

Harrogate were worth their advantage at half-time but Rosler’s change-around, moving to a 4-3-3 formation, had an immediate effect.

Three minutes after the break, Souleymane Doukara picked out Morison with a curling cross and the striker buried a diving head from six yards out.

Morison almost scored again just before the hour when Charlie Taylor’s low cross forced some desperate defending from Harrogate in their six-yard box and Town became trapped behind the halfway line as the friendly edged towards full-time.

Sharp was denied by a brilliant reaction when his fierce volley flew at Town’s keeper on 67 minutes and Morison narrowly failed to bury the ricochet.

Harrogate almost nicked a late win when Jack Emmett’s free-kick dipped past a post and a block from Bamba prevented last-minute embarrassment but the opportunities were rare breaks in United’s second-half pressure.

Leeds’ next friendly takes place away at York City on Wednesday.

United (first half): Silvestri, Byram, Wootton, Bellusci, Cooper, Phillips, Mowatt, Antenucci, Ajose, Wood, Erwin.

United (second half): Silvestri (Horton 74), Berardi, Bamba, Killock, Taylor, Sloth, Bianchi, Cook, Doukara, Morison, Sharp.

@Nick_P_Walker: @PhilHayYEP was 6ft away when it happened, one or two idiots shouting abuse at him near dugout he looked at them and grabbed Leeds badge

& @ FT:

@PhilHayYEP: What can I tell you about Bellusci? Talking to fans at pitchside at the moment, shaking a few hands. Seems okay.
