they do look good. At least this league has play offs so it isn't top or nothing like the Northern League. We do need to improve, particularly defensively.

I think that you will find that SS4, being an Aston Villa diehard, was referring to the Aston Villa (not the Manchester United) performance against Chelsea.

I was referring to the Villa game, my apologies for any confusion. I did not see the game involving Manchester United and apparently didn't miss much.
Attention now turns to the League Cup round 2 and hopefully we can get a decent cup run going with a win at home to Rotherham tomorrow

Highlights from yesterdays game at Heritage Park that saw Darlo bounce back from an abject performance on Saturday to record a 3-1 win over a decent Kendal side

It's gotten very weird at Huish Park as Yeovil, after controversially scoring at the end of normal time and forcing the game to extra time (I missed what happened, was listening to WBA), have allowed Birmingham City to score but only at the beginning of the second period of extra time after going 3-2 up during the first period of extra time. The score is now 3-3 with just the second half of extra time.
Worth watching on the League Cup show tomorrow.

The incident at the end of normal time appeared to be Birmingham kicked the ball out to allow a Yeovil (I think) player to get treatment and instead of passing the ball back to the goalkeeper/defender as is the convention Yeovil instead scored.
Meanwhile the match has gone to penalties as has Burton v Fulham

Together with Tranmere and Bolton

Morecambe (L2) against Newcastle tonight in the league cup. Should be interesting after Morecambe knocked out Wolves 3 weeks ago. On Sky at 7.30 onwards.

Dare I be optimistic? Probably not.
We handed a debut last night to Scott Wootten who we have signed from Manchester United and Alex Mowatt who has come through the Leeds academy.
Wootten, who is a big centre back scored a goal and looked solid and Mowatt looked very assured, compact and good on the ball in midfield
It was a really good game. Doncaster more than played their part but Leeds were too strong in the end, in the last 20 minutes we were superb.
10500 at the game, 3770 from Leeds, a superb turn out in a 2nd round Capital One cup game away from home.
Former Oldham striker Matt Smith scored his first goal for Leeds and Ross McCormack's 4th goal of the season made it 1-3 to Leeds. QPR up next on Saturday at 12.15 in yet another televised game, our 3rd of the season already.
Is the draw for the 3rd round tonight? Liverpool or Everton away would be lovely stuff.

They did lose their sugar-daddy in the summer though. Peter Swann did invest about £1.5m of his own money in the club since he first took over as chairman.
Anyway, AFAIK, there has been no news about a new chairman it Gainsborough yet, which is possibily unsettling the current team and putting off potential new recruits.

Possible giant killing tonight with Morecambe v Newcastle?

Nice to see Matt Smith scoring his first goal for Leeds, I hope he does well for you club like he did with Latics in second half of last season.
Draw for Third round ties will be made after Morecambe v Newcastle game (Live on Sky Sports 4)

It is said that Tottenham Hotspur are considering fining Gareth Bale for his unexplained absence from training for the second consecutive training day.

'Emotionally' Celtic, Champions League draw 4pm tomorrow then *the ONLY place to be*
We could end up with Benfica, CSKA Moscow and Olympiacos. Or we could end up with Real Madrid, Milan and Borussia Dortmund.
I fancy Real Madrid, the only 'giant' that we haven't had in Europe recently.

Our new "football pundit" was certainly on the ball with his summary and prediction of the result of the second leg of the tie in this posting that he made after the first leg was played.

********************************************************************************************
The draw for the Capital Cup 3rd round ties sees a repeat of last seasons FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Wigan Athletic.
The tie that sees Manchester United paired against Liverpool looks to have the making of a good cup match.
As usual, I have refrained from posting the whole draw, as I know other forum members like to do this and I don't want to steal their thunder.
That was surely the upset of the round? Newcastle actually winning........and they certainly rode their luck

The draw for the group stages of the Champions League will be made later this afternoon, but the following is worth noticing....
Pot 1...Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United
Pot 3...Manchester City
Pot 4...Celtic
Pot 1...Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United
Pot 3...Manchester City

Although Man City cannot be drawn.in the same group as Chelsea, Man Utd or Arsenal.
