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!

The Whites Enter the Lion's Den

 

In many ways, the season starts today for my beloved Leeds United. Now that the transfer window has ended and the international break has come and gone, Daniel Farke can see what he has to work with. Today's match away to Millwall couldn't be a sterner test. We don't like playing in the capital and there is a lot of history, going back to the Right Said Fred riots of the 90s. It should be fascinating. Come on, you Whites! #MOT!

Great to have Sam Byram back; he's been one of out standouts so far this season.

Oh my! Meslier made complete hash of that and it had to be hacked off the line by Struijk. The whistle came belatedly.

Rutter wins a corner now. Pascal on the end of it. He's out top scorer right now.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

It all stemmed from a tackle by Bill in the box. The Lions wanted a penalty for handball but it broke to Rutter who spread to Willy. Quick interchanges between the four front men and Joel Piroe finishing with precision.

0-1 Whites!

Pascal concedes a corner needlessly.

Oh - Longman had a drive that Meslier had to turn away.

We appear to be trying to do what a number of sides have done to us this season: play it safe and then hit on the break.

The half-time whistle comes and I'm more than pleased. We've contained the Millwall attack with composure and took the chance that came.

0-1
