Unbeaten in four matches and sitting top of the league, Leeds United’s new under-21 boss Michael Skubala has had an excellent start to life at Thorp Arch. The former England youth coach has hit the ground running and nipped any momentum from last term’s relegation in the bud.
The only trajectory at the head of the club’s youth ranks is positive after three wins and a draw in the opening four Premier League 2 Division Two matches. Headlines have been dominated by the exploits of Sonny Perkins and Mateo Joseph, who have five goals apiece from four starts.
Last week, Nottingham Forest were the latest side to be despatched and with the biggest margin of the campaign so far. That 5-1 thrashing was played out against a soundtrack of a new buzzword Skubala has been using.
