Got to see most of the game courtesy of Al Jazerra. Meant no commentary of course, at least undersandable, but then with with another 15 odd screens in thepub showing other games - everything from rugby league, union, aussie rules and footie (hadn't realized most 15.00 ko premiership games are broadcast) - wouldn't have heard anything anyway.
Yes, first half hour was mainly Ipswich and could have been three goals down but wheren't picked it up and improved. Not going to try and give a detailed report, others already have, but generally I didn't find it that bad, certainlly better than some of the reports from Leicester and other games, and it gives me some hope for this season.

I'll take as much luck as we can get until we're safe from the drop. How often have we moaned about unlucky Leeds/last minute goals conceded - nice that the boot is on the other foot. Not sure about McCormack's shoot from anywhere policy - he's no Gerrard - but as long as they keep deflecting in he'll keep taking pot-shots. 5th place, a manager who doesn't sound like an arse, a manager who knows how (and will) change tactics - it'll do for now! ________________________________ From: Damian Walsh <[email protected]> To: leedslist <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 24 August 2013, 17:48 Subject: [LU] Ipswich last 30. No comments yet? Are we all too flabbergasted after the dire early match reports? Away - I got to see the last 30 minswhich is as much of Leeds I've seen in a League match for donkey's years. I didn't see the goals but otherwise I was reasonably impressed. Leeds were trying to play possession football (a goal up obviously) and Ipswich weren't good enough to expose the weaknesses that are surely there. The fact is that not all Leeds players are comfortable on the ball. McCormack stands out, Austin looks confident (sometimes misplaced) and Peltier knows what he has to do when he gets the ball but the rest didn't look happy having to pass the ball about. I was surprised by Warnock who played like he was frightened to death by the ball. I had expected him to be much more comfortable. Austin played some classy and assured 30 yard passes but screwed up his 5 yard ones. I wonder if he's got a concentration problem? Finally Poleon, when he came on, had some good runs but went nowhere. Partly I think because it never occurred to him that he's allowed to shoot when he gets sight of the goal. He cut inside several times on the edge of the box but then didn't know what to do - the Ipswich defenders sussed him out straight away and could afford to stand off him a bit when he was central, something they didn't do at all when he was wide.
