Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Championship Tuesday Madness!

It's been an exceedingly busy workday here in Fred-town, so I'm late settling in to enjoy this afternoon's Championship action. My beloved Leeds United boys are taking on Brentford at home today on the back of a glorious 0-2 win away to Wigan on Saturday. Three more points today, please, boys. Come on, you Whites! #MOT!

Unfortunately, there's no ESPN + coverage of the big match today, so I'll following on the LUFC text from the office.

Half way through the first half and still 0-0. We're dominating and Bamford had a good chance to open the scoring a moment ago.

Gianni has picked up the first yellow card of the match for some silliness.

Coming up on half-time now. I'm frustrated that our home performances have been disappointing this season. We need to give the punters what they want - goals!

Half-time at Elland Road - 0-0.

As a result of other shorelines yesterday and today, we've dropped to fifth. This will not do!

One goal and we'd vault back up to the top, albeit due to superior goal difference to Charlton.

Oh - Foresaw has rifled a shot at goal that Raya has just tipped over. We're knocking on the door.

An hour in now and still deadlocked at 0-0. More than frustrated.

Swansea have been pegged back by QPR now, but Charlton are still 1-0 up over Forest. WBA are drawing against Reading in the late kickoff.

Costa does well to beat his man down the left but when he pulled it back to Dallas, Stu couldn't find the target.

Eddie Nketiah has replaced Pablo in the 76th minute. Come on, Eddie!

Oh - Nketiah had a chance but his shot was deflected into Raya's arms.

Lovely - Eddie has won us a corner. That'll use up a bit of time.

Nearly there now - keep it tight, boys!

Yes - we've done it! First home win of the season. We're now on 10 points from 4 matches. +5 goal difference and top of the league. MOT!
