Saturday was one of the least enjoyable games I have ever endured – probably the coldest I have been on the terraces – 2 dreadful teams; how do professional footballers continually and repeatedly pass to the other team; drop the passes short/massively over-hit them; pass into touch – a bunch of loud mouth grumbling supporters who refuse to get the idea that slagging people off is not going to help them at all: we are called "supporters" FFS - I mean what do you make of it if you are a young lad making your debut in the senior team (a team that is on the worst run in the league) and the crowd are on your back after 20 minutes for a couple of nervously mis-placed passes – we did have enough chances to win the game (Ekuban should have buried that move from the free kick) – and then they score two scabby goals (one in injury time to win it) for the second one what exactly did happen to Pontus and Pennington, both got it wrong, badly wrong, but funny enough only Pennington gets slagged - Pontus is dodgy but he is the senior partner in that pairing. Pennington was trying to cover for what Pontus missed...not saying I'm convinced by Pennington (at all) just that things happen on a pitch as part of a continuum not in isolation.
And I am heartily sick of listening to the barely concealed xenophobia aimed at Alioski and Hernandez, who along with Forshaw, at least made an effort at trying to win the game. We have gained nothing from sacking Christensen. But this is what you get with knee-jerk decision making, listening to a baying crowd most of whom have never been good enough to play football at any level. – there were times in the second half when the snow was falling so heavily and being blown around so much that you couldn’t see the other end of the pitch – you couldn’t even raise your eyes to look forward because of the snow being blown in…dismal. dismal. dismal. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
