A major disappointment and a major blow to our play off chances. Some fans got what they wanted as SG rested Becchio and gave Somma his chance also going 4 4 2 with Max alongside Somma and Johnson & Kilkenny in centre mid with Howson moving out to the left. It did not work ! It was a very poor first half with no action that managed to silence a near full house. Apart from a Snoddy cross that a stretching Max put onto the bar and a stretching Somma hit the rebound at the keeper I don;t recall any real chances. The crowd were almost silent as the team trudged off at ht After 15 mins or so we made a change bringing on Becchio for Kilkenny and putting him alongside Somma-ths did not really change anything and so we put Max back up font and replaced Somma with Bannan. What is the point of 2 loanees who cannot get into the starting line-up. Anyway one thing Bannan does seem to have is good set piece delivery and a good free kick came into the box, Becchio leapt like a salmon and powered it home - honest, it was a great jump and header. At half time we all felt that the first goal would be the winner. But it was not to be -hero Becchio turned villain when he missed a sitter that would have ended the game and then the inevitable. A hopeful cross into our box was met , unmarked of course, by almost the smallest player on the pitch and he headed home. Soon after our always shocking defence committed suicide. McCartney lost the ball on the edge of the box and him and Bromby were out fought by the forward, the ball bounced forward and O'Brien and Graham both went for the 5050 - no surprise O'B lost it and Graham squared it for the forward to beat Lichaj and slot home - disaster. Then in the dying minutes another good corner from Bannan was slammed into his own net by the defender, We huffed and puffed and even gave McCormack a rare run out in the 5 mins added on but failed to score - so 2 points dropped and we are hanging on to 6th by the skin of our teeth now. Quite a few fans on the bus back to Leeds station seem to be losing faith in Grayson !
