Leeds United - v - Barnsley - EFL CUP ***Matchday Thread***

What the fk happened there. Free for all?

Not really a free for all. Barnsley player flings Drameh to the ground in real anger.. Hjelde and then meslier come in to help. Then both sides come in mostly to try and protect their own players and to keep people apart. Roca seemed to be the only leeds player who was genuinely furious. I think he got pushed/slammed into the pile. Not sure what to make of him.

Stand your ground and protect your teammates. Sad that people making millions of dollars playing on a “team” can’t seem to understand that a teammate takes precedence over cowardice. Once a team is marked as not willing to stand up for themselves they get walked on and beaten like rugs

Needs more game time before we can make a proper judgement but I like the look of Roca so far. Solid defensively and can play with the ball and always seems to be looking to have the ball. Seems to be a good pairing with Adams too (who looks good to be very good indeed).

Promising signs but let’s see how they get on in the winter months.

Really liked the look of Sinisterra - he looks to be a star in the making.

Good result and game time for more of the squad - Luis S could be a bit of a good buy too from the sounds of it

Hey up Hopey kid lol.
I was looking forward to this game because it was away at a Premier league club, and apparently the brilliant attendance made it a really good atmosphere, and a good cup tie all round.
Ok there was a danger of it being a bit of a thrashing, but I thought what was the point in us winning in the previous round, if we were just going to be scared of it.
Had we scored the pen, hey we might have made more of it in the second half. But on the whole, Im pleased that we had a go and we can sort of hold our heads up, and at least we did better than Chelski Rovers.

Hey Acido

Without wanting to sound patronising - yep thought your boys looked decent and could have scored more. Strange feeling for us to be relatively comfortable in a cup tie and with the thought we could score more.
The lad Sinisterra could end up being the best player we have brought in and some of the others already look good.

Hope all is well and good luck for the rest of the season.
