Sounds like there should have been a few more goals scored. Lennon, Wright, and Ricketts all sat out with injuries and Bakke went down during the game. More on his injury on Monday.

Saw Bakke on sky sports... he didn't look too good... I think it's gonna get ugly this year :(

[mellon002]

Everything so far sounds negative. This could really hurt us if he's out.

Just looking ahead here a little bit, how did we manage to get Valencia to play us in a pre-season match? The schedule has a bunch of small clubs and then bam, there's a Spanish giant.

[mellon002]

Hey! It's a double whammy of great news today!

Bakke is out for the year:

Then we lose 2-0 to Mansfield Town:

Leeds 0:0 Oldham

Shabaan, Richardson, Pugh, Walton, Radebe, Carlisle, Cadamarteri (Leister 67), McMaster, Hignett, Ricketts (Johnson 51), Guppy (Keogh 67).** Subs:** Fredericks, Woods,Winter, Keogh, Leister.**

Seems like it was a different lineup made up of a few trialist. Apparently Shabaan made a few excellent saves. Otherwise, it was a pretty lackluster performance for Leeds.

I kinda did a double take at this too the other day. WTF?

[Own Goal Hat-Trick]

i saw smithy play today... and score... for the filthy ******** ass scum.

seriously though, watching him play, and be as firey as ever, made me ********ing sick to my stomach. if i wasnt numb from the pain i wouldve run right out there and kicked the ******** out of him.

good to see them lose though.

Yeah I was there, piece of crap had the audacity to "hush" the celtic supporters after his goal. oh well, goodness made it's choice in the form of a hoops victory.

[mellon002]

How can we stink against D3 sides and then tie Valencia? Who is this Simon Walton kid anyway? Is there a website or does anyone know anything about the kids in the academy?
