Yeah, I had quite a good view where I was sat, so it started: ----------------------------Kenny
----------------Lees ------ Erm 1 --- Erm 2 ------------- Peltier------------------------------------------------Pugh ------------Austin------Brown-------Murphy----------- ------------------Blackstock------Ross-------------------- I can see why he's playing 3-5-2 as it lends itself to 5-3-2 and gives you 3 central defenders and 3 central midfielders to plug up the middle but for most of the game the line up was more: ----------------------------Kenny Peltier-----Lees ----- Lithuanian --- Erm 2 ----Pugh -------------------------Brown----------------------------- ------------Austin-----------------Murphy---------------- ------------------------Ross---------------------------------- ------------------------Blackstock------------------------- And even, for long spells ----------------------------Kenny ------Peltier--Lees - Lithuanian - Erm 2 -Pugh------ -------------------------Brown----------------------------- Austin-----------------Murphy---------------------Ross -----------------------Massive gap ------------------Blackstock/Smith----------------------- Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2013 22:12:04 +0000 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] Charlton Away To: [email protected]; [email protected] Our line up was a bit weird. Pugh seemed to think he was playing left wing back but on the other side Peltier didnt really get forward much and had Rudy in front of him for most of the game - which was a bit of a waste as we could have done with his 'motor' in the middle of the pitch - which was largely left to Brown and Murphy. Despite the groans when we found out he was playing - this was probably the one game you would pick Michael Brown for - pretty attritional in a bog and he did Ok as did Pugh. Its difficult to say we were the better team but i guess we adapted fairly well - whilst Charlton kept trying to pass it around the morass of a pitch and it rarely flowed. We know we're not good enough for that and so concentrated on hitting areas a bit more. Despite the pitch 2 of McCormacks goals (3rd and 4th were very good) as was their first.Their 2nd was frantically shambolic defending - too scared of giving away a penalty to actually tackle anyone. Our penalty also looked a bit soft. McCormack was clearly the hero - though honorary mentions to Rudy, Brown and Murphy.We thought the last time a Leeds player had got 4 was Smith in Florence - but it turns out it was actually Brian Deane v QPR - Danny Pugh is the common link between those games. Matt From: Joe Skinner <[email protected]> It was bad last year and seemed to have got worse, it was raining but not that much, I think the problem is that it's literally in a valley. Bit weird having a delayed kick off but didn't seem to dim our fans' enthusiasm. Massive bits of the pitch were under water or mud and the ball stuck a lot. Almost Ironically, this hindered them not us. They try and play football but are a bit lightweight. They still have a midfielder at right back - something I wasn't really sure why we never targeted properly. We lined up 3-5-2, . We were 5-3-2 half the time. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
