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!

Who's Up for the League Cup?

 

Afternoon, chaps - it's Carabao Cup Third Round time. The round kicked off yesterday with several matches. But it hits the stratosphere today with several tasty fixtures, including the marquee match-up between Man Citeh and Chelsea and my beloved Leeds traveling to Molineux to meet up with Wolves. We should be buoyed by two late wins on the trot and I hope that Jesse Marsch will reward the kids who got us those with some starts today. 

I'll be racing home from a boring department meeting to catch the action today. Join me?

The teams are out on the mitch at Molineux - here's the starting lineup for Jesse Marsch:

Robles, Ayling, Firpo, Llorente, Hjelde, Gyabi, Klich, Harrison, Perkins, Gelhardt, Joseph.

Marvelous - ten changes!

Decent pop at goal by Matteo Joseph there. Really good to get a look at him and Sonny Perkins tonight.

It's gotten all ping pongy out there.

Half-time: It's been fascinating to see the up and coming kids but so far they'll to break through. 0-0.

We're underway and Wolves have a big chance right away - good save by Joel Robles.

Another great save there by Robles.

Oh - Joseph should have taken that one on his left. The shame of this line-up is that Joseph, a right footer, is playing left wing and Harrison, a leftie, is playing right wing.

A bit too precise by Greenwood there - needed to put his laces through it.

It feels like one goal will win this one - Wolves have struggled to score this season.

Chem Campbell and Daniel Podence have replaced Ronan and Guedes.

Joffy has picked up a knock and is replaced by JM favorite Sam Greenwood, who scored a corker in the win against the Cherries on Saturday.

Jack with another curling effort - nowhere near.

Not sure I can see a goal coming from either side - it's been a rubbish match.

Johnny seems to have done his hammy. He'll need to come off - they're last change.

Bugger! Boubacar Traore comes on and scores what looks to be a winner.

We need a goal now in the last ten minutes. Come on!
