Under 23s Leeds Utd v Blades comments

[Northyorksblade]

I am no Deadbat so wouldn't dream of attempting a match report, there is a decent one on the official United website, but a few things I noticed from today's game at Thorp Arch.
We were by far the better side than a 2-3 score line would suggest. Ben Heneghan, Nathan Thomas and Caolan Lavery played from our first team squad. All played very well. Sam Graham is a big unit, very composed. The team plays very much like the first team, not surprisingly.
Leeds United? Well, a big side of whingers. If their goalie said 'fucking hell ref' once, he said it fifty times, very vocal, which you would say is good, except it was quite often directed at the ref rather than his team. There was a lot of dissent from them, including one of their players on being subbed, booting the spare ball into a neighbouring garden, which was quite amusing. Also amusing was the two Leeds Utd coaches, one speaking English, one Italian, quite bizarre. Quite a few supporters were Italian too, presumably friends or relatives of the young Italian players. Ronaldo Vieira's brother Romario played, fancy Dan.
Another bizarre thing was the ref seemed to know Nathan Thomas, as he called him by his name at one stage.
Chris Morgan was there watching, scouting for Port Vale?
Enjoyed the game and glad our under 23s follow the example of the first team in not surrounding the referee at every turn, unlike Leeds United, nasty team.

Did Vale keep Morgan as a scout when they sacked him as a coach?

Personally I wouldn’t sign a letter, never mind a player, on his day so. Nowt Fancy.

Pleased to hear the lads played well.

I’m sure on his day he could have a say so.

Tyler Smith and Oliver Greaves finding the net again, although Smith's second was more like Jimmy Greaves.

Another mardy, petulant bottle-kicking reaction from a coach after Smith's first!

I have to say, not only the coach. I spent more time laughing at their antics than watching the game. It was truly comical. They obviously think they are the big I am's. It turns out two of the players were in the same class as our Jack, so are both 17. I told him to tell them they played well..........I lied

The Leeds U23s coach was a disgrace. You wouldn't expect an U18 coach to act like that.
Go on Parky.......
