Shane Higgs and Ben Parker both returned for Leeds reserves in an easy 5-0 win over Lincoln City.
Goalkeeper Higgs came through the ninety minutes unscathed whilst Parker completed seventy-five minutes before being replaced.
A very strong Leeds side included Higgs, Crowe, Parker, Michalik, Marques, Robinson, Johnson, Gradel and Dickov all starting.
Leeds had to wait until well past the half hour before taking the lead, Gradel squared the ball for Dickov who was on hand to tap in and score his first goal for the club.
The second half saw Gradel score a hat trick in a twelve-minute spell as the home side threatened to over run the visitors.
Andy Robinson scored a deserved fifth close to the end after an impressive performance in the midfield.
