Capital One Cup Round One Wrap-up
This afternoon sees a few more fixtures, including BEin's coverage of Luton v. Villa. Of course, I'll be hoping that Leeds rebound from our miserable opening hammering at QPR when we visit Fleetwood Town to have a wee reunion with our old friend Uwe Rosler. Come on, you Whites!

Afternoon, chaps - the afternoon's League Cup action has started with Burton's clash with Bury.
Good afternoon, mate. I found Fleetwood Mac vs Leeds on BEIN's Spanish language channel. I'm on that channel now. Do you get that channel?
The teams are in the tunnel at Highbury where Fleetwood Mac haven't just taken Arsenal's stadium name, but even wear the same identical uniform. Leeds is in all blue.
As fate would have it, Fleetwood Mac's manager is none other than Uwe Rosler. Remember him, Bob?
They're off from Higbury
COME ON YOU BLUES!
It looks like a cold rainy evening just up the coast from Blackpool as both managers and the fans are wearing jackets.
The first change falls to Fleetwood and it's not too far off. Wake up Leeds!
I've finally got my BEin link going at the office. Watching Luton v. Villa now.
Afternoon, MUR - I've just been able to log in to my BEin account and have started watching.
I do remember Uwe - I thought he was hard done by at Elland Road.
Fleetwood's most recognizable player is right back, Connor McLaughlin, who played for Northern Ireland in the Euros.
Two changes to the Leeds line-up today from Sunday's match. Liam Cooper has replace Matty Grimes and it's a debut for Pablo Hernandez in place of Stuart Dallas.
I'm watching you're lads on the BEIN's Spanish channel. Luton should fell like the home team since the match is BEIN played in Bedfordshire.
Also, Lewie Coyle starts in place of Berardi , whom he replaced about twenty minutes in on Sunday. The Italian stormed off a, which must not have impressed Garry Monk , since he didn't even make the subs bench. He didn't learn after what happened to fellow Italian, Silvestri?
Sakho wins a corner off a one two with debutant, Pablo Hernandez.The corner is headed away and Sakho slices a volley well wide.
Oh - off his own bar from one of the Luton defenders. Should have been an opening goal for the Villans.
Villa are looking quite good early doors.
Fleetwood Mac is not the typical route one L1 side. They seem very Fleet of foot. That is, Uwe has them to where they seem comfortable keeping the ball on the floor.
Cole is tackled for a Fleetwood corner.
GOAL !!!FLEETWOOD MAC SING TO THE TUNE OF THE LEAD.
GOAL! Andre Ayew scores from an acute angle after some really comical defending by the Hatters.
0-1!
Bob, you nor Garry Monk will be impressed by the defending off the corner. The initial corner was headed away to the corner taker. His return cross was not properly headed away by Roofe, then Lewie Coyle was bullied off the ball, allowing Holloway to blast home from close range.
Sorry to say this, but new signing Roofe has looked more like he's smoking a roofie.
Come on, you Whites - get it back!
I agree - I wasn't impressed by Roofe on Sunday.
That's four goals we've conceded so far this season - and no goals scored (sigh)....
You won't be pleased to hear that he ran the ball out of play then went down , looking for a penalty after he ran the ball out of play.
Sorry, mate.It must be the ghost of Uwe past.
Not pleased at all.
Vieira has been booked for a really nasty foul.
Nigel Clogh's Burton Albion take the lead vs Bury
Holloway nearly scores his and Fleetwood's second , but his shot is cleared off the line by Chris Wood. The corner is caught by a soaking wet Rob Green
Good lord!
Sarcastic cheers from the home fans when Rob Green caught the corner.
Better from Roofe as his near post effort is parried away for a corner.
It's taken short and the Fleetwood Mac players are wise to it, winning the tackle and a free kick
Rob Green has got to recover his confidence. Apparently Gary Monk has already alienated Marco Silvestre, our #1 from last year, so he looks as if he's headed to the door.
Roofe clears for a Fleetwood corner. It's headed away to the corner taker and his cross is headed harmlessly wide by Jonsson.
After a shaky first twenty minutes , I thought Rob Green looked fairly good. He could do nothing about the goal today. A player was left unmarked in the six yard box. Other then the error ion the third minute on Sunday, he really can't be blamed for anything else.
Nigel Clough's Burton Albion is one up at the half vs Bury.
Roofe goes on a solo run and has a shot blocked for a corner.
The corner is headed away
A long Leeds possession ends with Sakho running the ball out of play
Chris Wood wins a corner.
A poor corner from Pablo Hernandez is cleared by the first man for another corner. The next corner is headed away
Uwe looks calm on the sideline , but must really be on cloud nine. He would love nothing better then to stick it to your team.
GOAL! The Hatters are back in business at Kenilworth Road. Great team move finished off by Gray.
A promising Leeds break comes to naught as Chris Wood played Hernandez down the left, but his return pass was too long and straight to the keeper.
Same old Villa ?
Leeds win a corner off a throw.
The corner from Charlie Taylor is headed away and the counter is on. Leeds defend it well and win a free kick.
The keeper pushes away a long range effort from Roofe then it's hoofed away by the left back. It was a routine safe , in all honesty
Perhaps - they looked slick enough at the beginning but they've been rocked on their heels in the last few minutes. It's a very young team.
That Roofe effort may well be our first shot on goal this season!
Naughty by Connor McLaughlin on Pablo Hernandez . A minute of stoppage time.
I'm off home during the break. I'll hope to join you when I get home. Nice chatting with you, mate!
He had another shot on target earlier in the half.
Leeds is a goal down at the half at Highbury.
I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers,mate.
Bury tie it up at Burton
The second half is underway.
COME ON YOU BLUES!
Garry Monk made a change at the interval as Sol Bamba is on for Liam Cooper.
Another chance for Leeds a s a cross from Charlie Taylor was headed over by Roofe from near the penalty spot
Luton have come from behind to take the lead vs Villa, who just can't get a result.
Sol Bamba clatters Johnson from behind.
The free kick comes to nothing as Cole's wayward header is out for a Leeds throw.
Roofe wins a free kick about 25 yards from goal off a pass from Pablo Hernandez.
The curling free kick from Roofe is about a foot or two over.
Holloway, the scorer, gets a standing ovation, as he's replaced by Ashley Hunter
JFH's lads take the lead vs Swindon.
Ashley Hunter shoots just over from about ten yards out and appeared to be fouled in the box by Sol Bamba seconds earlier. Leeds got away with one there
Fleetwood fans cheer as a shot from Sacko clears the ground and lands by the council housing. Bob may not see the funny side of it.
Sacko has another shot, this time from closer in that lands in the council housing again.
Garry Monk has had enough of that and Mowatt is on for Sacko.
A promising break for Leeds as Chris Wood is played down the left. His cross is miss controlled by Pablo Hernandez , but his cross is headed off the line and a long range effort from Lewie Coyle is straight to the keeper.
Germany go eight up vs Fiji ion the Olympics , but I'm sure that eight is not enough for them
I'm here to follow the rest of this afternoon's action. I got in from work just in time to see Luton score a goal that has them leading 2-1 over Villa.
GOAL! Dear oh dear - Okore with a real howler of an own goal to put Luton 3-1 up. RDM is looking rather non-plussed.
OH!!!! Roofe finally shows why Leeds signed him from Oxford as he receives a pass, turns a defender then shoots inches wide from about thirty yards out.
Some of those Villa players were in the Prem last season. RDM , along with Kevin Bond and Steve Clarke will need time with this ragged team.
Welcome back, mate. Still 1-0 at Higbury, but Leeds have played better this half.
David Ball, who assisted on the goal, is replaced by Bobby Grant.
Swindon tie it up at Loftus Road.
Roofe wins a free kick after Chris Wood picked up a stray Fleetwood pass.
A horrible free kick from Pablo Hernandez is well overcooked.
The final roll of the dice from Garry Monk as Marcus Antonsson is on for Ronaldo Viera
I wasn't keen on Antonsson on Sunday, either. He missed a real sitter.
A really nasty foul by Kyle Bartley. The home fans wanted a red card, but the ref decides it's a booking.
I noticed that. A bit discouraging, but Roofe has been better this match
Lewie Coyle has a cross cleared then a long range effort from Phillips is well wide.
The keeper pushes a near post effort from Pablo Hernandez for a corner that he takes and is out for another.
The final roll of the dice from Uwe as Nathan Pond is on for Devante Cole.
Sol Bamba booked for an off the ball incident. The next corner is headed out for another.
Bamba goes down in the box as Fleetwood clear the corner. Garry Monk wanted a penalty, but nothing doing.
Into ET between Burton and Bury
Sounds like we're doing more kicking than anything else. I've got this one DVR'd but I might give it a miss if this continues.
Germany go nine up vs Fiji in the Olympics.
Hard to say. it's been a better second half. The Spanish BEIN is showing Luton vs Villa after this match. Sounds like a good one.
Charlie Taylor clears for a Fleetwood corner.
The corner is cleared then Coyle concedes a free kick
Decent match here at Kenilworth Road.
A horrible miss kick in the box by Chris Wood after great work by Roofe.
WAY HAY!!! ANTONSSON TIES IT UP FOR LEEDS
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Charlie Taylor made a run down the left . His pass went off several Fleetwood players and broke to Antonsson, who turned Connor McLaughlin and blasted a shot into the roofe of the net from the near post
A minute of the five minutes of stoppage time have been played now. This one looks headed to ET. Are you hanging around for that?
Antonsson's first goal for the club and our first goal of the season. A priceless one, too.
The first goal of the Garry Monk era scored by Monk's first signing, a player you weren't too keen about. Do you like him better now?
Here's what I'm going to do if it goes to extra time. I've got it DVR'd, so I'll avoid the scoreline and just wait until later tonight to watch it.
Agreed. This one keeps your team in the LC and should be a confidence booster
I like him a lot better now.
Mowatt crosses and a volley from Bartley is tipped over by the keeper. Pond clears the corner for another that is headed out and a long range effort from Coyle is wide.
This one will be decided in ET.
Burton now lead Bury 2-1 in ET
That's it at Kenilworth Road - a big upset with L2 Luton Town beating the recently relegated Aston Villa. RDM is not pleased.
I can imagine . It's a long way from winning the CL four years ago. He , Kevin Bond , and Steve Clarke have their work cut out for them
ET is underway at both Higbury and Loftus Road.
Roofe has a close range effort blocked as the L1 side appear to be tiring.
So, I'm off now, mate. I'm going to avoid the result until later. Cheerio!
PENALTY LEEDS!!!! ANTONSSON WAS TRIPPED IN THE BOX OFF A LONG BALL FROM ROOFE
GOAL!!!! CHRIS WOOD SENDS THE KEEPER THE WRONG WAY FROM THE SPOT
cHEERS, MATE. i LOOK FORWARD TO CHATTING WITH YOU THIS WEEKEND , THE START OF THE NEW pREM SEASON.
JFH's lads take a 2-1 lead vs Swindon in ET, which is the score in all three ET matches.
Burton take a 3-1 lead vs Bury in ET. That one seems done and dusted.,
Bury pull one back late at Burton to make things interesting. They now trail 3-2.
It's HT of ET and Leeds lead 1-2 at Higbury
The second half of ET is underway
Burton Albion have held on to defeat Bury 3-2 in ET
Leeds gift Fleetwood a free kick
It's whipped in, but headed away and now Leeds counter, but it's stopped by a great tackle.
Sol Bamba fails to prevent a Fleetwood corner.
Swindon score to make it Desmond at Loftus Road.
BUGGER!!!! DESMOND AT HIGHGBURY. SORRY BOB.
It was a great finish by Ashley Hunter, who had come on for Holloway, the scorer of the first goal. A long Leeds clearance was headed back and Johnson was played down the right. His pass was taken by Hunter , who turned and scored with a well placed first time shot from the edge of the box.
Desmond at both Highbury and Loftus Road. As things stand, both matches are headed to penalties.
A twenty pass possession results in a shot by Mowatt landing in the council housing. What's up with that?
Hunter has a long range effort take a wicked deflection off of Bamba and go inches over > Leeds fail to deal with the corner and and unconvincing punch by Green leads to a shot being deflected out for another corner.
The next corner is cleared and this one will be decided by a penalty shootout.
Leeds win the toss and wisely, have decided to go first.
1-0 Leeds as Chris Wood, who scored from the spot in ET goes for power in and hits the roofe of the net
1-1 as Grant scores with a well placed penalty
2-1 Leeds as Antonsson takes a stutter step then sends the keeper the wrong way
Desmond on spot kicks as Ryan sends Rib Green the wrong way
3-2 Leeds as Mowatt sends the keeper the wrong way
3-3 as Connor McLaughlin blasts it down the middle.
4-3 Leeds as Phillips sends the keeper the wrong way and it goes just inside the post.
4-4 as Ashley Hunter sends Rob Green the wrong way
5-4 as Pablo Hernandez sends the keeper the wrong way
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! ROB GREEN ROBS JOHNSON WITH A GREAT SAVE AND LEEDS WIN 5-4 ON PENALTIES.I'M SURE BOB WILL BE RELIEVED.
Bob will feel better about Rob, who was the hero in the penalty shootout.
JFH's lads vs Swindon is also being decided by a penalty shootout.
That's it for me. Congratulations on a nail biting and much needed win. I can't wait to c hat with you this weekend. Cheers!
