LEEDS UNITED STILL UNCONVINCING
Reconstruction Fails to Effect Improvement
BEATEN BY BRADFORD
If the display of the reconstructed Leeds United team against Bradford in the West Riding Senior Cup semi-final at Park Avenue, yesterday, before 1,243 spectators, is to be taken as the best the side can do, it is to be feared that the experimental changes will not solve the problem confronting the directors at Elland Road. Duggan and Cochrane showed plenty of life at times, but, generally speaking, the United attack was unconvincing and the defence not of such calibre as to inspire confidence. They were well beaten by three clear goals. On the other hand, Bradford played smartly and left nothing to chance a very different policy from that adopted when the sides met in the F.A. Cup at Elland Road in January. Ward, for example, was Cochrane's master yesterday, and Danskin very effectually barred the way down the centre. Hart's penchant for assisting in attack rather than concentrating on defence, gave Wallbanks more opportunities than he usually receives, and it was by taking advantage of one of Hart's " rambles " seven mlnutes from the start that the Bradford centre-forward gave his side the lead. A surprise decision by the referee gave Bradford their second goal. Wallbanks was going through when George Milburn was adjudged to have fouled him. Suggett took the ensuing penalty kick and beat Savage with a drive which the goal-keeper reached but could not save. Play progressed on uneventful lines in the second half until Wallbanks burst past George Milburn and had only Savage to beat. The goal-keeper came out and, by flinging himself sideways, prevented what appeared to be a certain goal. Six minutes from the end after Savage had saved a shot by Suggett and a return drive by Wallbanks, Suggett got to a bouncing ball and hooked it into the net. Leeds were a very disappointing side, and Bradford now meet the winners of the second semi-final to be played between Huddersfield Town and Bradford City at Leeds Road to-morrow. BRADFORD: Farr; Ward. Barrett; McClelland, Danskin, McGrath; Suggett, Meek, Wallbanks, Wesley, Murfin. LEEDS UNITED: Savage: Milburn (G.), Milburn (J.); Edwards, Hart, Hornby; Mahon, Furness, Duggan, Stephenson, Cochrane. Referee: H. Berry (Huddersfield).
