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!

Friday Night Yorkshire Derby

 

I'm settling in with the twins to roar the boys on as they return from the international break to face Rotherham United at the New York Stadium in the latest Yorkshire Derby. The Millers are currently languishing in 22nd, so we need an easy win. Come on, you Leeds! #MOT!!

I'm delighted to see that Georginio Rutter has passed a late fitness test.

Yes, Cry, you beauty! Summerville curls one in to put us 0-1 up!

That's Cry's 7th of the season.

Total dominance from us but we should probably be two goals up at this point. We might come to rue missed chances from Piroe and James.

Oh - Summerville nearly through for number 2.

Another great run from Cry, but when he plays in Glen Kamara, he can only find the side netting.

Into the second half now. In a really disappointing turn of events, we allowed the Millers to score on the stroke of half-time.

Still 1-1 at the 55th minute mark. Surely Farke will make some changes soon.

Twenty five minutes to dig out a win here now. Still no changes from the boss.

Looks like it might be time for Gnonto and Bamford to join the fray.

Rutter has been really quiet tonight, so Lord Bam comes on for him. Gnonto comes on for Junior Firpo - that's a nice attacking move. Also, Ian Poveda on for Glenn Kamara.

Oh - mad scramble there and LB should have done better. When have I said that before?

Oh - Willy took that really well but then blasted over the top.

Fifteen minutes left to grab a late winner. We need this one - come on!

Rotherham still have ambitions for nicking one here - this is a very dangerous situation.

Pascal is about to come on; what's the point off that? He's just had surgery, for goodness sake!

Decent hit from LB but it was always going wide.

Summerville seems to be everywhere! Wins another corner for us. This one must fly in.

Oh = Pascal nods just wide!

Dan James makes way as Jaden Anthony comes on. Come on!

Five minutes of stoppage time to come. Come on!

4:49 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh no! Jaden Anthony turns the ball in but is then flagged offside. No - it was bloody Bamford!

Gnonto is upended setting up a dramatic late free kick opportunity. Come on! This one has to fly in!

Sadly, Cry fires over.

Archie Gray gives up a silly late free kick now. Mark 'em up!

That's that; a really disappointing draw against relegation threatened opposition. If we're to claim a promotion spot, we need to be beating sides like Rotherham.

It leaves us on 32 points from from 17 matches, 7 points behind the top two who both have matches in hand this weekend. Eighteen points left for safety.
