Maybe we will never have a team able to finish again...We beat Newcastles earlier IIRC, did they lace their team with a few ringers this time?

A penalty and two defensive errors done for the kiddies after a goalless first half.

Nothing new there then...
The u23's have been phenomenal this season. Losing to a premiership team isn't anything to be embarrassed about, even at u23 level. Newcastle have a good youth program if my toon supporting friends are to be believed.

I know mate my nothing new thought was about defensive mistakes giving goals away ala senior side.

I know they have been superb.

Extra time coming up.

I've been impressed by Oduor and Shackleton tonight. Clarke looks like he's starting to get back to his best again, which is encouraging with the playoffs coming up.

Leeds playing really well. Especially Clarke, nice to see him running with the ball from deep, and some of his passing has been superb.


Coventry have hardly offered anything they looked like they were settled for penalties

Oduor went off with injury, so it looks like another LB could be out. Does anyone know if Pearce is allowed to play in the playoffs?

Impressed with Shackleton's energy tonight. Still running around like a Duracell bunny after 120 mins.

We could've done with that kind of long range prowess throughout this season.
