Reserves result - Leeds 0 Scunthorpe 0
By Andy Baggott February 27 2008
Leeds lined up for this afternoons game with Scunthorpe with an experienced team, but were unable to break down the visitors. With 8 of the outfield players having played for the first team, it was a tside that really should have won the game - however, despite having the better of the chances, it remained goalless.
Leeds lined up for this afternoons game with Scunthorpe with an experienced team, but were unable to break down the visitors. With 8 of the outfield players having played for the first team, it was a tside that really should have won the game - however, despite having the better of the chances, it remained goalless.
Leeds lined up with Martin in goal, a back four of Madden, Heath, Huntingdon and Parker. In midfield Sebastian Sorsa was wide right, Westlake wide left, with youngster Oliver Hotchkiss alongside Curtis Weston in centre midfield. Up front Elliott partnered Elding. Subs Darville, Orvington, Wilkinson, Gardner and Edwards
Leeds did most of the pressing, with Ian Westlake having a good game on the left. Sebastian Sorsa also made some probing runs down the right, and his cross should have led to Elding opening the scoring, but it was not to be. Huntingdon was spreading some great long balls out from the back to set up the attacks, but a lack of invention - something the first team is also suffering with, led to most petering out. Westlake did have the ball in the net just before the interval, but was denied by an offside flag.
The second half was more of the same - Weston hit one just wide, but there was little in the way of goalmouth action. Seb Sorsa will be missing for the next couple of games as he is away with Finland, but Westlake and Huntingdon will have given Gary Mac a nudge with decent displays.

Watched about 20 minutes in the 2nd half - Sorsa put in more crosses than I've seen in the last three games at ER.
Looks quick, positive on the ball, can turn players and deliver a cross.

thought huntington was pretty good with ball at his feet and looks decent alongside rui, lubo looks short on confidence, also sheenan should have played today, get parker in side for weekend.

Very, very nervous from what I've seen, since his return. Hopefully he's just ring-rusty and will get his game back in order with a few more matches under his belt; but at the moment I must admit I'm a bit worried about him.

Sorsa sounds like the man to fill the right wing postion for us. Fast, skillfull and can get the good crosses into the box. First 11 player me thinks...

Yeah it is with his countries under 23 team is it not??? At least he should be getting a couple of games in a row under his belt and may come back ready to step up into the first team squad.
