While yesterday was a pretty dismal display, particularily in the first half, it was clear that we were at least trying to play a passing game, problem was it didnt go anywhere and eventually the ball was lost, itll take time and better players to reach the promised land and I dont think we have either. Eventually we were all calling for a return to the hoof ball of old and it returned with the introduction of Smith, who scared the shit out of the millwall defence. He did however fluff one of the 2 decent chances we had (the other fell to Hunt who just toe-poked it !) Ajose and Doukara had decent debuts, Silvestri looked OK in goal, but his kicking and distribution was pretty dire.
Given the players available the only questionable selection decision hockaday made was Hunt instead of Smith, Hunt ran around like an enthusiastic ballboy, but achieved nothing, how is it that decent, well respected players turn up at Leeds and immediately turn into talentless numpties? As for giving the youngsters a go, Cook came on and didnt impress and was at fault for the penalty , so immediately people were complaining that he shouldnt have been bought on in such a cauldron and when we were losing make your mind up! There are much worse teams in the championship, but I think our big problem is being bereft of confidence and Im not sure the histrionics or Mr Cellino will help, of the 3 decent players hes been after, only Bianchi has arrived, so the jury is out on his abilities in this area. The big question is should he spent £15m on buying the ground back or invest it in the team? Lots of hilarious Saville & Istanbul chants from the home "support" 16k attendance, be back down to 8 or 9 in a fortnight.
