Noticed Matt Smith got another goal yesterday for Bristol City ( on top of four goals in some Johnson Paint cup match mid week). In fact Bristol are only 5 places behind us now . I'm niffed as Smith let me down big town on a bet last year.

Anyway in the event Rudy stepped up and hammered it home with aplomb. So 1 up after 5 minutes. The rest of the half was pretty much rubbish, two poor teams playing badly in poor conditions. We had one good chance when a great cross into the box found Morison unmarked but he decided to fall on his knees and headed into the keepers arms - he should have done miles better. At the other end we defended with a mixture of skill, luck and detetmination, which coupled with their poor play meant that we went into half time still one up. Could I have picked a great game to come 'out of retirement' for and see an away win. No chance, 5 minutes into the second half and we hit the self destruct button yet again. A cross into the box, Silvestre decided to punch rather than catch it and the ball ended up on the edge of our box, next thing the ref had blown and from nothing, they got a penalty. Not sure who had done what, I have since heard it was Murphy who gave it away, but whatever the case it was a penalty from a non threatening situation (bit the same as the Warnock one v Ipswich?) and bang went the lead. The rest of the half was 2 rubbish teams trying not to lose. We had slightly the better of things but never really looked like getting the second goal we needed. On a few occasions we did things right until the final ball or shot which went badly astray. Our lack of belief showed itself to me when on 90 mins we had a free kick on the edge of their box. Normally the crowd would have been up for it, thinking that this was it this was our chance to win. Instead there was a bit of half hearted chanting and a bit of false optimism. Those thinking 'nothing to see here' were proved correct as it all fizzled out. We did have a couple of decent chances in the second half, Byram putting it into the side netting the best of them.So how did this new team and formation go ? Well the one point was the least we deserved. A point would have been Ok pre kick off but getting a goal in the first minute , meant that really we should have won.We set ourselves out for the one point and we did keep their chances to a minimum and did have a few half chances at the other end. Bolton were awful and if this is their normal standard they will go down - this is for certain.As for us, Morison is not the answer - he had a few good flick ons but never really linked up with anyone and most came to nothing, We could have played another 90 minutes and he still would not have looked like having a proper shot !Taylor - I forgot he was playing - did Ok and was never a liability but offered nothing going forward either. Does not deserve dropping but did not do enough to warrant keeping his place eitherBerardi - same as Taylor - should not be dropped per se but only keep him if it suits usAustin - typical Rudy, did bits which makes me think 'don't send him to Millwall' then next minute 'I will pay his tr ain fare myself' - he does have something to offer but cannot be relied onMurphy - played well for the most part , tried to do things, tried the 'killer ball' and did well, on the other hand he gave it away too often and his killer ball was not in the right place (weather was not condusive to long passingByram - like many I have thought he would be better in midfield than at right back and it is worth another go. He provided cover for Beradi and did create things going forward BUT he is not really a right winger either and his crossing and final ball was poor at times.Overall this was 2 points thrown away against awful opposition but I would go with this team (maybe Sharp for Morison) and formation for the next away game - set up for one point with a chance of all threeOverall , despite the poor game I loved the day out and can't wait to travel away again (Wigan here I come)The drink and drugs have blurred both my judgement and my memory so treat all the above with some scep ticism Dave > _______________________________________________ > Leedslist mailing list > Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist > To unsubscribe, email [email protected] > > John 'Grampa' Sykes > Rest In Peace old lad > 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 > MARCHING ON TOGETHER ------------------------------ Message: 20 Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2015 10:39:33 +0000 (UTC) From: Richard Walker <[email protected]> To: Richard Walker <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: leeds list <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] Bolton Message-ID: <933616493.392777.1420972773161.javamail.ya...@jws11152.mail.ir2.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Dave, just spoke with my mate who went - his judgement too will have been blurred by drink as he was in Wetherspoons Piccadilly early doors. ?But he says it was a good game and we played well. Although you say, Bolton were poor and showed relegation form could you not attribute that to the way we played. Apparently second half after they scored their pen they hardly had a shot and we were the only team that were going to win.? Also, he said Byram was fantastic and looking at the highlights the best moments were his. There's talk on WACCOE whether he will be the next Gareth Bale ? His run and shuffle to set up his chance second half was fantastic and only a really top class save by Lonerghan denied him. Also, his run and set up of Murphy was also good. Murphy should at very least have got his shot on target.? Also, Morrison's chance - he had to crouch down low to get his head on it and it was actually a pretty decent save.? Our goal, Morrison wins a great flick on inside to Cook. Cook plays a fantastic ball for Byram's run which he takes past Lonergan. Red card ! But the move was top class. If Byram was a right back there would have been nobody there.? Do you think you are being a tad pessimistic in your assessment ??

I have seen the couple of highlights on TV and that has altered a couple of things. Morison watching live was totally unmarked with all the time in the world and instead of controlling the ball and hitting it in , he fell to his knees and blew it. On TV it is a good chance, a decent attempt and a good save. With the penalty I did not realise how good the move was, live it was just a punt into the box that Byram got on the end of, on TV it was a lovely ball to Morison and a nice lay back and then a great ball through by Cook. Equally I thought Byram had made a mess of his chance at the end, I did not see the lovely bit of footwork to make the chance and he did as well as could be expected bringing out a good save. I did say we looked the more likely to win but never really looked like we would, and that we did quite well defensively so I stand by both of those. I did also say that Byram deserves another run ou t in midfield - don't forget you only got 2 minutes of the 90 on TV and did not see the times when his final ball was poor or he just stopped and checked back and lost the ball.?We all see things differently and beer and meds do not help give a coherent view so whilst I think that my report is not far off I may have been a tad over critical at times - particularly when you take into account the weather - very strong winds, bad for football.I think my main concern is that we know Austin and Murphy have shown in the past they are not good enough, now it could be that the athleticism and skill of Byram and Cook will help them more than the likes of Brown, Green or Tonge.?I have read one report that suggests that Redfearn tried this formation with one up front to see if it would work with Becchio !!!Like I said I think this formation may be the way forward away from home - albeit tough on Antenucci and Mowatt (who may come back in for Sloth?) who don't deserve dropping. I am not sure how well it would work at home. 2 home games in a week against teams who are doing well at present will go a long way to sorting out how the season will go in the second half.?Dave From: Richard Walker <[email protected]> To: Richard Walker <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: leeds list <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, 11 January 2015, 10:39 Subject: Re: [LU] Bolton Dave, just spoke with my mate who went - his judgement too will have been blurred by drink as he was in Wetherspoons Piccadilly early doors. ?But he says it was a good game and we played well.

He provided cover for Beradi and did create things going forward BUT he is not really a right winger either and his crossing and final ball was poor at times.Overall this was 2 points thrown away against awful opposition but I would go with this team (maybe Sharp for Morison) and formation for the next away game - set up for one point with a chance of all threeOverall , despite the poor game I loved the day out and can't wait to travel away again (Wigan here I come)The drink and drugs have blurred both my judgement and my memory so treat all the above with some scep ticism Dave > _______________________________________________ > Leedslist mailing list > Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist > To unsubscribe, email [email protected] > > John 'Grampa' Sykes > Rest In Peace old lad > 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 > MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] John 'Grampa' Sykes 28 Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 Rest in peace old lad MARCHING ON TOGETHER End of Leedslist Digest, Vol 55, Issue 9 **************************************** _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER
