Overall, despite the 3-0 result there’s some promising (very) young players. Worth remembering that Chambers, Chadwick and Gray are with the first team too but some older reinforcements before the season would be helpful to fill the gap so we don’t have too many 17-18 year olds in the 21s. #lufc

7. Howson initially came on in midfield but dropped to CB after Hamilton’s injury. You could see how his composure will help the young players around him and he was vocal and clearly guiding some players through the game. Seems like a smart signing and his vast experience will undoubtedly help.

5. The two new signings from Man City and Liverpool look raw but have potential. Enahoro-Marcus is a giant for 18.

6. Josh Hamilton came on at centre-back and although he came off injured he impressed for a 17 year old. Reminds me a bit of Dean Huijsen. Lanky but calm and good on the ball.

3. Greenwood only shone when exchanging passes with the two above. Some surging runs but no end product.

4. Oliver Pickles looks like a real talent. Central midfielder who - at 17 - seems very comfortable on the ball and mixed it well with the three above. No problems up against seasoned pros.

1. Joffy was a level above everyone. Looked sharp and skilful just lacks pace to be someone worth keeping to come off the bench in the PL. missed the best #lufc chance of the game after 1-2 with PB.

2. Bamford decent but clearly not pushing himself in 45 mins. Got a few chants from the away fans.

Some thoughts on #LUFC U21s today.

Not worth reading too much into the game given it was a friendly and many of the team were U18s but for those who weren’t among the 230 Leeds fans there…

Finished 3-0. #lufc

3-0 Hartlepool. 87 mins. #lufc

2-0 Hartlepool. 70 mins. #lufc

Here’s a picture of Jonny Howson wearing the number 14 to cheer everyone up #lufc

1-0 Hartlepool. They’ve been the far better side this half so far. 66 mins. #lufc

Howson on at 60 mins. Greenwood and Gelhardt off. Still 0-0. #lufc

Bamford off at half time. Joffy and Greenwood still on. #lufc

Definitely has split loyalties

Greenwood starting too. And Howson on the bench. #lufc

Joffy here too #lufc

The @thesquareball.net lads need to get an owl shirt out before the club do it 😂

On recycling nostalgia, this was registered as a trademark by #LUFC a few days ago. Just like the scarf thing was registered last July.

I’ve noticed this on Nieman Lab’s handle too (can’t tag them because of this issue)

That’s annoying! Worth giving it another go I’d say. I switched from LiveScore last season and much prefer it.

I like FotMob. They have a good level of detail and stats. Also relatively well designed compared to other scores apps.

I’m sure @digiwilson.bsky.social knows what he’s doing. He’s someone who knows his platforms and has numbers to deliver so if this place isn’t hitting the right levels then he will have prioritise elsewhere. Sad reality of the job, especially when his resources are so limited (club should help him!)

We’re very lucky as Leeds fans to have a strong mix of fan and traditional media covering the club in various formats (articles, newsletters, podcasts, videos etc), but what would you like to see more of when the season restarts? Is there a niche that we are missing? #lufc

Also got a shout out from @davidpierce.xyz on the Vergecast this week around 1h13m35s!

Here’s 30 seconds more for you. It was brilliant to see him loving the celebrations. #lufc
