Reserves result - Leeds 0 Scunthorpe 0
By Andy Baggott

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.

by the sound of most of the reports on here hunty
has been unlucky to lose his place. macca is now
saying he wants the defence to take the ball from
the keeper and play. what's lubo like with the ball
at his feet?
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.
