I forgot to mention the pass by Murphy - it was excellent , my son, for what its worth reckons that Murphy is going to be top notch and says he has watched him closely in the 2 games he has been to and is impressed. As for Diouf as MOM it was noticeable in the very brief highlights on the Football League show that he was involved in all 3 chances - he crossed for the Smith goal, had a great lay off back to Rody who should have done better in the last minute and was involved in the Tonge miss. He is the touch of class we need and it would be great if we could play him 'in the hole' behind Ross and whichever from Varney / Poleon / Smith / Hunt but I think to do that we need a more energetic and mobile midfield to do his running , it may work with Green instead of Tonge or maybe if Mowatt can become the player we all hope.
There are lots of rumours that we will have a new striker before Millwall , with Le Fondre being mentioned since he may be available on loan. I think the margins in this Division are so small that one playerand one incident can make a huge difference. We could have got anywhere between none and six points in the Reading and Brighton games - in both it was a draw with minutes to go, in one they missed a sitter and we went up the other end and got a winner, in the other we missed a sitter and they came down our end and got the winner. Even on Saturday any result was possible and could have been justified - if Varney had scored either of his chances, if White had got the penalty, if Kenny had not messed up then we could easily have won the game (even if they were better) At Ipswich we could have been 3 down (and out) before we got into the game. Leicester one mistake or bit of brilliance would have won the game for either side etc So although we have now lost 3 in 4, inc 2 on the bounce at home, it is miles too early to panic, and I still think we will be in and around the play off positions all season dave ________________________________ I prefer it when Diouf plays, I think he creates us more chances/outlets. I'm still willing to give Murphy more time too - I think he has vision, it just needs the end product refining. He did a brilliant long, cross pitch pass to Ross M who crossed for the 1st half Varney header miss. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
