Leeds U21s beaten in title decider and now face play-off route for promotion lufc
As stoppage time drew to a close with Leeds still trailing, Orta stood by himself, instructing corner-taker Charlie Allen to wait for goalkeeper Van den Heuvel to gallop forward and create a numerical superiority in the Baggies’ box. The ball was swung in, falling to Moore whose effort crashed off the crossbar and away. Orta was floored, along with several members of the Leeds backroom team.
The final whistle sounded and as Orta rose to his feet, Leeds’ youngsters gave out; it was their turn to fall to their knees. Archie Gray, whose impressive midfield performance almost yielded a goal in the second half if not for West Brom ‘keeper Ronnie Hollingshead’s left boot, was left face down in the turf. Others sat on their haunches, pondering just how their season, successful as it has been, had come to this.
Whether the post-match Domino’s Pizza, delivered to Leeds’ team bus, was ordered during the second half as a pre-emptive reward for young title-winners is difficult to ascertain. What is clear, though, is that despite the disconsolate mood at full-time, crestfallen and angered they may be, having had the taste of PL2 success snatched from their mouths, the team can use this most bitter of disappointments as motivation to put things right in the play-offs.
Should they make it to PL2’s play-off final showpiece next month, Orta may well fall to his knees again, for an altogether different reason.
