Is this on the Plus?
Bollocks! Just read your intro and it's not.
Afternoon, mate - unfortunately not. I'll be following on the LUFC website text.
As predicted, Bielsa has rested several of the starters including Pablo and Patrick. Costa, Nketiah and Clarke lead the line.
Here's the team news: Casilla, Douglas, Davis, Berardi, Shackleton, Phillips, McCalmont, Bogusz, Clarke, Costa, Nketiah. Subs: Miazek, Forshaw, White, Bamford, Alioski, Harrison, Gotts.
We're underway in the League Cup 2nd Round matches tonight.
Come on, you Whites!
I've just noticed that our old nemesis Sam Vokes is in the starting line-up for Stoke tonight.
Villa have gone 0-1 at Crewe in the televised match. Ezra Konza with a headed effort.
Vokes has a headed effort saved by Kiko. Knock that straight off.
Stoke are all over us early doors. Ince won a corner off Leif Davis and the Vokes headed off target from the corner.
Oh - Douglas is a whisker away from opening the scoring for us with a half volleyed effort.
Danny Batth heads over from a corner for Stoke. Still not liking the pressure that they're exerting on us.
Eddie has won us a tasty looking free kick chance just left of center and about 30 yards out. Not sure who will take this one in the absence of Pablo, our free kick specialist.
Oh - Davis has a header saved by Butland from the resulting free kick.
Rochdale are 1-0 over Carlisle.
Oh - Eddie has hit the post with a scorching effort! Shame.
And now Helder has gone close. We're turning the screw now. Come on!
Good Afternoon, Bob.Back from running errand in the HArlingen heat
Bugger! I've just come back to the computer after working with a student and we're 0-2 down at the break. How on earth!
Afternoon, MUR - thanks for dropping by after the hot errands.
Sorry to say former Leeds player, Sam Vokes put the Potters two up just before halftime. Danny Batth gave the Potters the lead in the 39th minute
In the televised matches , Villa three up at a really Motley Crewe and the Hammers one up at Newport
Other halftime scores:
Richard Burton and Liz Taylor two up vs Morecambe and None Too Wise
Luton one up at Cardiff
Crawley surprisingly one up vs the Canaries
Forest two up vs the Rams in an East Midlands Derby
The Evil Lions in the lead at Oxford
It's 1-1 between Argyle Sweater and the Reading Railroad
Evil Ridsdale's Lads lead the Tigers 2-1
Rochadle two up vs Carlisle as are the Evil Blades vs Blackburn and the Fake Dons at Southend on Sea
Pointless Hornets one up vs Coventry
Wow - Bielsa has rolled the dice making a triple substitution at the interval. Foshaw, Harrison and White are all on for Clarke, McCalmont and Shackleton.
The boss must've rattled the teacups in the dressing room!
We're back underway and Eddie is already causing problems. Douglas came close from Eddie's cross.
Seagulls in the lead at Bristol Rovers , which is not idle gossip
Oh - now Davis has missed with a header from a Kal Phillips free kick!
Richard Burton thee up vs Morecambe and None Too Wise
I would never suspect that you would trade in gossip, mate.
The Evil Lions two up at Oxford While Argyle Sweater take a 2-1 lead vs the Reading Railroad
Glad you have confidence in me, mate
Hornets two up vs Coventry and Southend pull one back vs the Fake Dons, but trail 1-2
Michael Obafemi gives Saints the lead at Bob and Kate's place.
Eddie is proving a handful. He's brought down 20 yards from goal, setting up a decent free kick chance.
Philips fires over unfortunately. We're knocking on the door.
Sad to say that Bury face possible expulsion as a takeover bid failed and none was met by the 5PM GDT deadline. Bolton may follow in a fortnight
COME ON LEEDS!MOT!
Bristol Rovers tie it up vs the Seagulls while Luton go two up at Cardiff
Half an hour left to salvage our League Cup campaign for the season.
I saw that - sad day for Bury.
In the EFL Trophy the Toffees Academy on top at Jayne Mansfield while its 0-0 between Northants and the Gunners Academy. Abe Lincoln vs the Man United Academy has been postponed.
Gunners academy has just taken the lead at Northants
Pablo Fornals has put the Hammers two up at Newport
WAY HAY! EDDIE PULLS ONE BACK FOR LEEDS! Congrats, Bob
Luton three up at Cardiff.
Yes!!!!!!!
Eddie has got one back for us! Sounds like a howler from Jack Butland. No matter. It's 1-2.
Hornets three up vs Coventry
Keinan Davis puts Villa four up at a really Motley Crewe.
For some reason, Bielsa has been booked - over celebrating?
Our tails are up and Harrison has won us a corner. This one needs to go straight in!
Nortants ties it up vs the Gunners Academy
That's ridiculous. No need to take the emotion out of the game.
Oh - now Harrison is a whisker away from equalizing with a 25 yard effort. Cor!
Let's hope that Bishop Tutu is warming up.
Carlisle pulls one back at Rochdale and now trails 2-1. Same for Blackburn at Bramall Lane
Agreed - those are always silly yellow cards to give out.
The Bishop is at Plymouth as the Reading Railroad have just made it Desmond at Argyle Sweater.
Richard Burton now four up vs Morecambe and anything but Wise
About fifteen minutes remaining . Desmond will need to fly on a Supersonic jet to make it from Plymouth to Leeds on time.
Helder has won us a corner now. Come on!
I have trust in the Bishop.
Villa five up at Motley Crewe
Oh - Kal flicked a header on at the near post but Eddie just couldn't reach it.
Hope the Bishop creates checkmate for the Potters , mate
Fake Dons take a 1-3 lead at Southend on Sea.
Forest three up vs the Rams
Grimsby vs Macclesfield has been postponed. FOTMOB says the match has been aborted
YES DESMOND AT ER! Helder Costa the scorer.
YESSSSSSS!!!!
Desmond arrives at Elland Road as Helder Costa nods home his debut goal for the Whites!
Time for Leeds to win and avoid ET ahead of the top two showdown vs the Swans on Saturday
Come on, now - let's go on and win it!
Absolutely - we'll need to be razor sharp on Saturday.
Congrats, Bob. MOT!! SCORE A WINNER, LEEDS.
Northants vs the Gunners Academy is going to be decided by spot kicks. Wonder what the Gooner thinks.
Tommy Lee scores a consolation goal for Motley Crewe, but they trail Villa 1-5.
Five minutes left and change for us to grab that winner.
As things stand, the match at ER is one of four headed to ET or do they go straight to spot kicks?
Nice one, mate. Are there any other Crue members playing for Crewe this evening?
Now Pablo Quiroga, a member of our coaching staff, has been booked. What is going on?
Oxford score, but trail the Evil Lions 1-2. The Reading Railroad takes a 2-3 lead at Argyle Sweater
Late corner for Stoke. Hang in there, boys!
I thin the other Motley Crewe members are hungover as Jack Grealish now makes it 1-6 to Villa. Cheers,mate
Barry Douglas with a late booking. Keep your heads, boys. We should be able to see this one out.
As things stand the match at ER and Palace vs Colchester headed to ET
Fake Dons now lead 1-4 at Southend on Sea
Six minutes of stoppage time to come now - must be all of the shenanigans on the Leeds bench.
Free kick now for Stoke on the left. Hang in there, boys!
Jayne Mansfield ties it up late vs the ten men Toffees Academy
Reading Railroad now leads 2-4 at Argyle Sweater
Phew- the free kick comes to nothing.
Glenn Murray appears to have won it late for the Seagulls, who take a 1-2 lead at Bristol Rovers
He did. It's now over at Rovers
The matches do not go to ET. It's straight to spot kicks if not decided in 90 minutes
Late, late corner won by Berardi! This one needs to go in off someone's bum. Come on!
Oh - Phillips heads just wide of the mark from the corner.
Desmond just arrives at Oxford, who scored two late goals to make it Desmond vs the Evil Lions. That match and Palace vs Colchester already gone to spot kicks
Glenn Murray for England?
One last chance for the Leeds boys from a corner. Come on!
The Tigers tie it up late at Ridsdale's place to make it Desmond. They were two down early doors.
That's that then. On to penalties. No extra time in the League Cup of course.
Regulation time has ended at ER. This one is going to be decided by penalty kicks
Absolutely. Why hasn't Gareth Southgate called up Glenn Murray to the full squad. He should do well in the Euro qualifiers vs Bulgaria and Kosovo
Looks like the Canaries are heading out of the League Cup.
In the Efl Trophy Northants defeated the Gunners Academy 4-3 on spot kicks after it finished 1-1 in regulation.
That's correct. That one is now a final and the first real giant killing of the competition as Crawley win 1-0
Big Sam Vokes steps up and scores the first one. Stoke 0-1 up.
Yes! Barry Douglas equalizes. 1-1.
Duffy scores for Stoke. 1-2.
Yes! Helder equalizes. Desmond!
Etebo scores. 2-3 Stoke.
Bob will be pleased to read that Oxford came from tow down vs the Evil Lions and won 4-3 on spot kicks
Yes! Kai equalizes once again. 3-3!
A spot kick clinic at ER
Bugger! Sam Clucas scores for Stoke. 3-4.
Yes! Eddie notches another equalizer. 4-4. Sudden death!
Another giant killing, this time at Selhurst Park. Colchester won 5-4 on spot kicks after it was 0-0 at the end of regulation.,
Bugger! Jack Butland has redeemed himself by stepping up for one. 4-5.
Bugger! Jack Harrison has hit the post. That should be us out of the League Cup. Bugger!
Jayne Mansfield pays the penalty for failing to defeat the Toffees Academy in 90 minutes. It finished 1-1 , but the Toffees Academy won 4-1 on spot kicks
Sorry to say it is. Potters win 4-5 on spot kicks.
Sorry about the result, but that will allow Leeds to focus on promotion.
Evil Ridsdales lads defeat the Tigers 5-4 on spot kicks
