Message: 9 Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2016 21:45:52 +0100 From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: Leeds List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [LU] Season so far Message-ID: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I do cushion everything I say against the fact that this season has been an armchair season so far for me (Villa next weekend will be my first live match of the season) but I am surprised generally at some of the list negativity. Even some of the more positive posts have been of the "we're playing a bit rubbish but we're getting results" attitude. I think what Monk has done so far, after a wobbly start, has been phenomenal. First of all, half the job (if not more) of being a good football team is a solid and constructive defence. Our current defence is by far our best defence since our prem league days. Cracking centre halves and 2 capable and attacking full backs. Added to that our cover centre half would walk into most teams in this division. And our first reserve full back (Berardi) would again walk into most teams in this division. Our attacking play has been more patchy, but Monk is clearly trying to get us to play constructive on the following deck football, he comparatively quickly has worked out what formation works with available resources (basically ending up with the same formation that our only other good non-prem team, under Grayson, played). It is a work in progress but when it has worked it has been great (see Norwich). And for all the abuse Wood seems to get he is our most valuable player - I bet we could get 8m+ for him - and he is scoring most games. He is no Chapman, but the fan reaction to him is reminiscent of (in the under-appreciation of what he brings to the table) Chappy. And we're 5th. Despite playing most of season without our star signing midfielder (Bridcutt), being without our most creative player at times (Hernandez) and without our star defender yesterday (Pontus). Imagine the 90 promotion team without Fairclough, Batty and Strachan. How cohesive would they have been or would Wilko have pragmatically dug a result out in their absence? There looks to be a great team spirit, the football is improving, the form is great and we've got players to come back. I haven't felt this positive in years. Even with a deranged nutter as an owner. MOT! _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
