Good luck to Wales in their final against Poland tonight, but don't you go tiring out those Leeds United boys.

Dreaded penalty shoot out last night and the crucial 5th penalty was saved by the Polish keeper. Really felt for Dan James, a real tryer but one of those 'why does it always happen to me' players. He's not been a starter for Leeds recently but he's often effective from the bench.
I suppose he will be subject to vile social media attention as if it was all his fault, but in truth Wales did have 120 minutes to score and couldn't

If yesterday is anything to go by it's going to be a long month in terms of the Championship. Advantage Ipswich after yesterday and I'm sure that's a good thing from a neutrals point of view. Unfortunately I'm not neutral.
Leeds United never turned up in the first half yesterday and were swamped by a very confident Watford. Watford completely lost the plot in the second half and went all defensive and were lucky to hold on for a draw in the end.
Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield looking in danger of joining Rotherham and making it a Yorkshire threesome in terms of relegation.

If you like football without fear then the FA Youth Cup semi-final tonight might be a good watch. 10,000 tickets sold for the Elland Road clash between the Mighty Whites and Millwall, the winner to play Manchester City in the final.
Very enjoyable quarter-final a few weeks ago when Leeds saw off Liverpool in a refreshingly open game. We may have been lucky as Liverpool had to pull some players for the first team bench due to a fixture crisis. On the other hand Archie Gray, who was eligible to play, was continuing to appear for our first team.
The game is due to be on the LUTV channel on YouTube.

Bucketing it down at Elland Road and I presume Headingley too.
Trying to remain optimistic but it's not easy.

Leeds United U18's made it to the final 4-3. It was spoiled somewhat by the terrible weather and they were taken from the pitch in a lifeboat.

It did look like the trickiest game of the run in for Leeds United, they still have a trip to Middlesbrough to negotiate as well.
Norwich, Hull, Coventry, Middlesbrough and PNE in a real dogfight to claim that final play off spot.
It's no easier down the bottom with wins today for Wednesday and Huddersfield keeping them alive, any of 9 teams could end up joining Rotherham in Division 1 next season. The Huddersfield win bumps them out of the bottom 3 at the expense of Birmingham who join Sheffield Wednesday on 42 points.

It'd be funny if they beat Leeds though.

No it wouldn't! Still mathematically possible for the others teams, although it doesn't look likely that Norwich are in the mood to let them in.
By the time Boro do play Leeds the maths will have changed.

Four home games on the trot for Truro City in National league South as they continue to try and catch up their fixtures.
Tonight, Wednesday night, Thursday night and Saturday.
They might as well all sleep at the ground.

Wow what a saga 3 and half hours by road, they really should sleep at or near the ground then, especially Wednesday night.
Lovely place though, nice ride down the river Fal to Falmouth, if they've got rid of some of those creepy laid up ships that is.

I had a nightmare, dreamt I went to watch York city last Saturday v Eastleigh try to secure a win to stave off relegation . LOST .
Unfortunately it wasn't a dream , they suffered a 0 - 1 home defeat and finished the game with only 9 players, At least 6 Yprk players and the manager were booked , 2 sent off.
York dominated the first half and Eastleigh played a very negative game with lots of breaks in play and delays in taking goal-kicks, recovering the ball, taking throw-ins etc, pinching yards and their players taking ages to recover from an 'injury' The referee seemed to want a quiet life and left the teams to their own devices, ignoring the crowds requests for action . I the second half York substituted a player and practically with his first touch of the ball he fouled their player ( I thought it was clumsy rather than intentional) referee issued an immediate red card. the captain (who is allowed to approach the referee , ddi so and was awarded a yellow card for querying the decision . A couple of minutes later the captain was awarded a yellow card for his tackle ( seemedok to me) hang on that's two yellows = red card , nine men York with 15 -20 minutes to go. The manager queried this decision and was booked.
Eastleigh were awarded a corner the York goalkeeper gathered the ball even though he was impeded by an Eastleigh player trying to take the shirt off his back and the ball was then kicked out of the goalkeepers hands .We knew when the linesman put his flag up for the foul that it was still 0 - 0 .Referee overuled linesman 0-1 3york players who had not been booked then were , presumably for asking where the referee left his guide dog,
These things happen .I often say the standard of refereeing reflects the standard of play .In this case it's much worse than that .
Must win game at home this weekend ,I'll be there of course , also going to watch Guiseley at home tonight .
Come on Yorkshire teams, what's wrong with you , Leeds United off the boil, Scarborough 'wasted' a promotion push and the bottom three clubs in the Championship are all Yorkshire ( Rotherham already relegated) Middlesborough flatter to deceive. Sometimes it's hard being a supporter. Lets have some effort and good results
