Waiting for Dave's report to come through. Spoke to a mate who said ER was bouncing last night and there definitely now a realisation that we could be about to witness something special this season.
Scores: Green - 8. Two brilliant saves to keep out Derby's only chances. Kicking a bit dodgy and a bit lucky with their deflected 'goal'. Coyle - 9. So what does Monk do ? It's obvious that this lad has the potential to be great. He is simply too good to sit the rest of the season on the bench. As ridiculous as it might sound if it came to a straight decision for who to play right back between Coyle, Ayling or Beradi I would go with Coyle. Beradi - 9. A right back, playing left back against one of the trickiest players in the league and restricting him to one long range shot and a half chance when he cleverly jinxed through I thought was remarkable. In the second half Ince looked like a punch drunk fighter who'd had enough, Beradi was just too strong and too clever for him. Ayling - 9. Best compliment you could give him was that he didn't looked troubled. I thought he was protected brilliantly by Vierra and Bridcutt but he did everything well and didn't look out of place. Even had the cheek to go on a a amazing run forward. Bartley - 9. Won everything. He could have capped a perfect performance by bagging 2 goals which he should have. Vierra - 9. What can you say ? McClaren said 'Wow, 18 year old and he ran the show'. He was immense and I just love his strength. Occasionally tries a pass that doesn't come off but that is just inexperience. Bridcutt - 9. Never tries a pass that doesn't come off. The perfect midfield holding player. Tackl, Harry, get ball, pas ball move, receive ball, pass ball watch attack. F'cking great little player. Hernandes - 10. Man of the match. The commentator said he was on a different level. He was unplayable. With those 3 in midfield Derby couldn't compete. That blonde haired Derby lad supposed to be a real prospect. He looked Sunday league next to our 3. Roofe- 8. I thought first half was his best 45 minutes for the club. He looked lively and looked like he had the beating of the Derby defenders. He linked up well and showed good movement. Faded a bit second half but he showed promise that I haven't seen so far. Wood - 8. Good headed goal, unmarked in 6 yard box. I thought he ran hard, battled hard, played some good link up football and in general played a very effective no 9 role. I still think even though he played well he showed at times bad control and a lack of pace. Also he does win very few of the 50:50 headers. Doukara - 8. Inspired. It was a really surprising performance coming off Rotherham and Cambridge which I thought were 2 of his worst performances in a Leeds shirt. I'm not sure at times he knew where he was going but the opposition certainly couldn't stop him. Subs : Dallas - I thought he came on and upped the energy levels. Mowatt - came on a fell over a couple of times. Monk- what can you say ? The guy is a miracle worker. Thank you Massimo Cellino and if you saw the pictures of MC and new owner you realise they friends and this is not a takeover but someone MC has brought in to help. MC has transformed this club whether you like it or not and I said he would. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER
