Have to say it was an absolute pleasure watching the development squad today. Wonderful classy performance, could really have been 10-0! Hats off to Baker and Harrison and Bamford, whilst he was on. You can see why we got all three, so professional, gave everything and encouraged the youngsters. No one had a bad game today. Clarke stands out but all the defence was solid and showed, we have a number of players who could be called on. Anyone who really things our squad is thin, watch an under 23 game, it's definately not as grim as you might think!

Other point, I wanted to add, because I've seen 4 games in 10 days in this spell. The quality of our coaching stands out! The opposition coaches I have seen, usually 1/ 2 very traditional and quiet for a lot of the game. We have a team of 4/ 5 all involved in helping different players and Carlos as the link between these boys and the first team. It is a really classy act.

Great day, seriously anyone has a chance to get to a game, really worth the effort. Jack Clarke, with careful development and more gym and fitness is going to be a real star!

hard to imagine leeds is a well coach club and moving in the right direction and being well managed.

Bring back Hock and Bates, I have nothing to moan about.

I’m sure you’ll find something Bermondsey! Actually, if I was a player, I might get a bit ffd off with the coaching, you never have a moments rest, so one is yelling at you! But I think what they do is concentrate on the players who need a bit more direction.

Harrison and Baker really impressed me today, they wouldn’t have tried harder if it was a cup final! They are giving everything to the cause and it was an under 23 game!

Fab post Spanish lad! I agree with bermo its great to see the under 23s development and what i like also is the fact that carlos is setting them up tactically to play exactly like the first team which means any one who steps up to the 1st team fits in effortlessly with smooth transition again clever communication between Carlos and Marcelo, Jack Clarke will get a chance this season I've no doubt about that, his ability and performances will make it impossible to ignore, Good times!
