Gutted for the u21s, we just didn't get the run of play.
Some very good performances to note. Gyabi looks some player, he's got a big future ahead of him. Firpo had a good game and his passing was picture perfect, Drameh caused problems down the other side. The three substitutes added much greater balance, and Snowdon and Spencer showed a lot of control, both bringing the ball out of defence and setting up attacks.
It was up front that we let ourselves down. Perkins had a bit of an off game but still oozed class. Joseph was marked out of the game, and we didn't see anything special from either Gelhardt or Gnonto.
Totally dominating in possession and territory by us, a few shots and set-pieces but nothing clear apart from Gyabi’s shot well saved. Need to up the tempo in the second half.

91 mins - Firpo saves the day at the far post from a probable Crewe tap in
Into injury time. Frustrating night. only 4 mins added
84 mins - Hjelde heads just over the bar from a corner - ain't gonna happen I fear
last 10 mins - this is slipping away. The "paint drying" award looms.
71 mins - another Crewe sub
69 mins - Leeds turning the screw a bit, Joseph getting a shot in from a tight angle, then a shot from Allen just wide.
We must score a goal in normal time to have a chance of going through
