Ødegaard-pasning fra McCalmont mellom to forsvarere og Stevens får en enkel jobb når han kommer i stor fart og setter den fint forbi keeper.

Fikk ikke med meg hvem som satt 1-0.

Slutt. 2-0 til Leeds. Rødt kort til en Wigan-spiller etter noen og 70 min. Etter det hadde sikkert Leeds ballen over 90 %. Men brydde seg ikke om å skape noe særlig mer. Så bare deler av andre omgang, men nok en gang er jeg småimponert over Struijk og Edmondson. Synd vi ikke kan teste dem i noen cuper i høst. Må evt vente til FA-cupen.

Ny kamp allerede fredag.

Mht Davis frykter eg han ble spart pga Alioski/Douglas-komplikasjoner i morgen, men sannsynligvis var det vel noe fra oppvarmingen.

Vi er godt skodd med unge stoppere nå ja, men innimellom har de forbedringspotensiale i å starte med ballen bakfra.

Herlig med Stevens tilbake på dette nivået, slik eg husker ham fra i fjor. Bra fysikk, godt rykk... og 'Pablo' Mccalmonts (som Urqhart kalte ham etter 2-0 målgivenden) sin pasning hadde bare sett dum ut omikke Stevens timet løpet sitt som han gjorde.

Den eneste nye fra i fjor, McCarron, gjør manns jobb på vingen! Og det er herlig å ha Hosannah tilbake!

1-0: En skikkelig blødme fra Wigan-forsvareren. Ufattelig risikabel pasning.
2-0: En klassescoring av Leeds.

Ingen Strujik på banen i hvertfall... Hosahanna, Casey og Douglas som midtstoppere.

Jaja, men om du tar på kampen så ser du at Struijk, ikke er med og McCarron - sikkert en skade under oppvarming eller noe..

Sheffield Wednesday at home for our under 23s today. Kick off at 12.00. With the first team in action tomorrow, I'd expect a younger side. #LUFC

Leeds take the lead, following some decent build up play with Alfie McCalmont at the heart of it, his low cross is met by Mateusz Bogusz who finishes with a first time strike! 1-0

Nice piece fra Phil Hay om U-23 spillerne som vaker rundt Bielsas tropp

https://theathletic.co.uk/1451400/2019/12/12/theres-no-difference-between-the-first-team-and-under-18s-he-sees-one-as-an-extension-of-the-other-bielsa-has-opened-up-the-pathway-for-leeds-kids/

Smakebiter:
‘There’s no difference between the first team and under-18s. He sees one as an extension of the other’ â€" Bielsa has opened up the pathway for Leeds’ kids

…

The fact the under-18s are wearing Catapult vests â€" the system which tracks players’ movement and heart rates during training and in games â€" is a tell-tale sign of the uniformity. When Bielsa became head coach, he demanded that the squads directly below the first team be monitored and managed in the same way as his senior professionals, with the same software and the same amount of attention. He wanted them to undergo weight tests with identical regularity and stick to a comparable diet.

...

Pascal Struijk’s introduction as a substitute in the Tuesday night win over Hull City took the number of academy debutants on Bielsa’s watch to 12 in 18 months, and others will be added to the list because he sets no quotas or limits on the number of young footballers he can work with. Bielsa has changed the academy by removing any breaks between the highest age groups and bringing their practices into line. As one member of staff put it: “The difference with Marcelo is that there’s no difference between the first team and the under-23s or the under-18s at all. He sees one as an extension of the others.”

….

The regular presence of under-23 players in Bielsa’s main training group allows him to analyse not only their ability but the way in which they blend in with his hardened pros. He looks to see which youngsters hold the respect of more established footballers and which are falling short. “The group has a sixth sense to realise the players they want close to them and the players they don’t,” he said. “Good players are always welcome but they have to demonstrate that they can play well. It’s not the same thing.”
…

Robbie Gotts, the most versatile of full-backs and the pick of the under-23s in some people’s eyes, was an unused substitute for the 30th time against Hull and cannot find a way off the bench, trapped as a result of the pecking order. Bielsa’s guilt over Gotts’ prolonged wait spilled out at his weekly press conference on Thursday, where he admitted that the 20-year-old would be justified in asking to leave and seek minutes elsewhere.
“The situation is unfair for Gotts,” he said. “I have to be convinced that he’s better than my other options but he’s getting a lot less than he deserves. I’m worried about it.” It was noticeable in added-time on Tuesday that Bielsa sent on Struijk (pictured) having initially told the more experienced Barry Douglas to get himself stripped down and ready. Decisions are tactical with Bielsa rather than sentimental, which is why a prospect as hot as Nketiah is finding appearances so hard to come by.
…


“It’s one of the positive things Marcelo brought to the club,” Corberan says. “He’s created a clear structure where the under-23s are working with the first team and have a relationship. It gives the young players experience about how you have to live and how to be ready for a Championship game, like with Olly Casey at Huddersfield.”

Leeds United’s 23s back in action against Bolton tonight before a trip to Forest on Friday. Watching on from afar but will do the odd update. #lufc going for a fifth win in a row.

[Asbjørn]

Leeds United: Miazek, Alioski, Struijk, Cresswell, Casey, Hosannah, Jenkins, McCalmont, Bogusz, Clarke, Nketiah. 
Subs: Skerry, Hudson, Stevens, Gotts, Kenneh.


Leeds United’s Under-23s head across the Pennines on Monday evening (7pm), to take on Bolton Wanderers at the Lancashire FA.
The Whites go into the match on a four game winning streak in the Professional Development League, having beaten Barnsley, Wigan Athletic, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday in recent weeks.
Recent results have seen Leeds climb to fourth in the table and another victory could see Carlos Corberan’s side move to third.
Bolton currently sit seven places below Leeds at the bottom of the Professional Development League North.
The Trotters have won just one of their 12 matches this season and last time out suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat at local rivals Burnley.
You can watch the game at Bolton live via our social media channels and on LUTV, or you can keep up to date with live updates on this page.

1-0. Alioski.

[leedslife]

Assist fra Clarke og scoring.
Godt å se han tilbake.
Håper han finner tilbake og blir den knallspilleren han har potensiale til å bli.

[Asbjørn]

3-0 til pause (Alioski,Clarke, Nketiah)

Alioski sentral i starten, Eddie lite involvert da. Men etter hvert som Leeds overtok så vi mer og mer.
McCalmont/Jenkins mer involvert enn Bogusz på midten, må si det.

Kjekke involveringer av Clarke også, ja.

23s HT: Bolton 0-3 Leeds United. #lufc

Alioski, Clarke and Nketiah all on the scoresheet. Leeds playing some lovely, lovely football. Highlight of the first half was Gjanni trying to take the penalty off Eddie.

[leedslife]

Må jo være mulighet for noen minutter for Clarke i jula.
Går jo samtlige en høy gang ute på gresset ikveld

[RoarG]

Det scores i 2. omgang også. Først reduserte Bolton på en corner. Deretter puttet Gotts og Eddie. 5-1 nå, altså.
