Niall Huggins, Leeds' number 3, looking very decent.

Watching on the stream and noticed that the U23 kit doesn't have any front of shirt sponsorship. Has this always been the case?

Yes, you can't have gambling sponsors on kit worn by U18s so they must remove it for the U23s in the very likely scenario we play U18 players

Probably the only kind thing i have ever said about Leeds- but i thought the commentators today were very fair !!

[Sutekh]

Only deal today, Sam Smith to Tranmere on loan.

Good move for him, think if he gets a run of games he could be a big player at that level. Shame Watson and East didn't get loans though

Well I'm now officially completely out of touch with the U18s. Only recognise two of those names.

And one of the two I didn't know six weeks ago

Have we fielded an under 18 since we’ve had the sponsor?

Yes, Michael Olise last season and Dejan Tetek, Nahum Melvin-Lambert, and Lynford Sackey this season

Valid question then, how do the club get round that?
