Piroe prepared for 'competition' after Villarreal draw
Joel Piroe speaks to BBC Radio Leeds after he scored in the 1-1 friendly draw with Villarreal: "That feels really nice. It would have been a bit better if we had won the game but in the same time I think it was a good game to get ready."You feel it is getting better, that everyone is getting sharper. You feel the team as a whole has stepped up a bit as well."You want to win every game but at the same time you know it is not realistic. As a group we had to learn if you won't win, don't lose. I think that will be something really important in the season as well for us."Leeds have been linked with the likes of Everton's Beto and Fulham's Rodrigo Muiz and on the prospect of the club buying a forward he would compete against Piroe added: "I have said before, in the Premier League at big clubs you always face competition. So if it's a new signing or someone from the academy there will always be a battle for players. You just have to influence what you can influence yourself. For me it is keep playing well and scoring goals. For me that is how I want to keep my spot. Everyone wants to be part of the group and it means they are fighting for their spot."Listen to Piroe hereWere you at the game? How do you feel about the season to come?

Matt Bloomfield believes it was about time Luton had some luck
It was cruel on Wimbledon who had limited the hosts to a single shot on target until that point as they coped admirably with the step up after winning the League Two play-off final. Bloomfield, who took over in January but despite a strong finish to the campaign was unable to save the team from the drop, was asked whether he felt his side deserved their late good fortune. 'Yes,' he said. 'We feel like there's certain things that have gone against us over the last period of time. 'One thing you can't do is whine about it. All you can do is get on with your work, and you have to be grateful when the gods shine on you and give you a little bit of fortune. 'There were only two teams in the last 10 league games (last season) that got more points than us – Burnley and Leeds. 'But after being relegated you can't expect that everything's going to be looked on smoothly with sunshine and smiles.' Prior to the late winner, defender Reuell Walters had had Luton's only attempt on target in the 63rd minute, drawing an excellent save from Bishop with a half-volley struck from range. 'Relived and pleased to get the win,' added Bloomfield. 'Pleased with elements of the performance – the togetherness, the unity within the group. 'Frustration that we didn't create more clearcut opportunities and look more threatening. But pleased to get off to a winning start. 'We can't expect to click our fingers and get to the final product overnight. There's been a definite change of identity which we saw on show tonight. 'We're an evolving group, we're a new group. Now it's about getting better every week and keep working to where we want to get to.' Dons boss Johnnie Jackson, whose team were playing in the third tier for the first time since 2022, said: 'I'm gutted for my players and supporters. To lose the game in that manner was cruel. 'It's a fortunate goal from their point of view. They made us defend that situation, caught us in that position but that rarely happened to my team all night. I thought we defended brilliantly. 'To lose it on an own goal on the side of the bar is a hard one to take.'
