Dani van den Heuvel: Had a couple of shaky moments to start with but had little to do for the remainder of the game. Could do little about the goal. 6
Cody Drameh: Tested in the first half by Forest’s physical attacking line, but dealt with everything that came his way. 6
Jeremiah Mullen: Looked strong at the back as he returned to action. A couple of classy moments with the ball at his feet. 7

Leo Hjelde: Almost scored in the first half and saw an effort blocked in the second. A solid showing defensively. 7
Kris Moore: Arguably Leeds’ best on the night. Cleared an effort off the line early and went on to produce a dominant display at the back. 7
Charlie Crew: Had some nice touches in the middle of the park as he made the step up from the U18s side well. 7
Joe Snowden: Hit the post just before the break and looked to make things happen in what was a stop-start game. 6
Charlie Allen: Had some bright moments but struggled to make an impact in the game for large periods. 6
Sonny Perkins: Struggled to get a foothold in the first half and gave the ball a way through a number of sloppy passes. Looked more of a threat in the second before being replaced. 5
Max McFadden A solid showing from the U18s winger. He looked the part at this level. 7
Mateo Joseph: Leeds’ chief attacking threat. Forced a couple of saves out of the Forest keeper at the start of the second half. 6
Sean McGurk (Joseph 65): Looked to make things happen down the right. 6
Max Dean (Perkins 65): Had a couple of shots at goal but couldn’t trouble the keeper. 6
James Debayo (Drameh 65): Gave away the free-kick that led to the goal. 6
Morten Spencer (Snowden 88): Emerged too late to make a real impact. N/A
