hope Rich W has calmed down after yesterday's game/Annabel Croft/and the adrenlin rush that led to that deluge of emails...not much to add to his match reports and all that, except:
- too harsh on Peltier/too easy on Diouf for that first half hour performance - Diouf was right side midfield and he was nowhere to be seen, left Peltier trying to do the job of two men - no wonder he looked fucked off at 0-2 (we were calling for Diouf to be subbed then after 30 minutes, he was a disgrace) - we all know that Diouf is not a team player, there was no way that he was going to listen to Colin or Peltier telling him to do his job at R Midfield so in the end Colin had to put Varney over there to bolster Peltier - that said, for the first goal, who stepped out of defence to challege the bloke? He ran 40 yards in our half unchallenged, a CHalf should have stepped forward. Look again at the video for the 2nd - Diouf is totally wrong side when the ball comes through and makes a half-arsed effort to get back. Bottom line? Diouf is too much of a big time Charlie to sully himself with any of that defending...so don't play him at anything other than forward or attacking midfield/classic "number 10"...anything else and he's a liability. After Varney was moved, Peltier looked miles better and Diouf took hold of the game like you said - no excuse for not scoring at the end though - although we should have had it won by then - headers from Austin, Pearce and Becchio should all have put us beyond them by then - not to mention that huge penalty shout with 10 minutes left. - other thing was, Becchio fouled that defender as the ball went through for McCormack to bury - plain as day - the only thing the ref "gave us" all day. Cracking game all told - am enjoying this season so far much more than I expected to - the spirit yesterday was fantastic. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
