When their lad missed the one on one I was trying to think of the last time someone actually missed a good chance against us? Cardiff 2 shots on target 2 goals, luton one shot one goal, Fulham no real chances no goals.We got even luckier with the one that hit the post, and having watched it a few times, I still dont know why after it hit the post and Harrison faffed about with it , lost it, and they put it in the net, it was disallowed. Thankfully we were one up by then and when that stayed the score after their ten minute spell , I always felt ok. ( I see Luton joined the huge ranks of teams who perform brilliantly against us then totally flop the next game, 5 0 at home ! Shows how much playing us takes out of teams) Bottom line now is if we do as well / badly / averagely ( you pick how you think we have done) in the next 4 games as we have in the first 4 and get 7 points, it means a win at home to ( hopefully) already safe / already relegated Charlton guarantees promotion even if Brentford win all their games, possible for them but a huge ask, since games v Charlton , fighting for survival and Derby, fighting for the last play off place will not be easy. The TV again puts us at a bit of a disadvantage with both West Brom and Brentford playing their midweek game before us - we could be only 3pts ahead of 3rd going into it, so ramping up the pressure. Having said that I would not swap places with any other team DaveNerves shredded but believing a bit

They hit the post and had really good opportunites that they should have put away. But once we scored through some brilliant harrying from Klich there was only going to be one winer. Blackburn put everything into that first 45 minutes and as a result had little to offer in the 2nd half apart from one spectacular free kick, which was never a free kick in the first place, Philips was just trying to get out of the way. Our fitness levels are top notch and with 10 minutes to go rather than just hanging on for the win we continually pushed forward in wave after wave and really should have doubed out total. Even Douglas was crossing in the area late on. For me, this was by far our best performance since the restart and I think it's a performance that tips the momentum our way again. I think playing without Costa gave us a more solid look and maybe playing with Harrison and Costa together is too much of luxury. Meslier (silent S apparently) - 7. I thought he did well throughout. I worry about their goal as he his completely reliant on the wall when he stands that far left of the goal. It invites the taker to put it in top right corner and when he did, Meslier didn't even move. Compare that to Philips, at least their keeper was able to get across and make an effort, Ayling - 8. Bac kto his best, some good defence work and did well getting forward too. Douglas - 7. Arguably his best game for Leeds. Still unsure about his defensive abilities. Cooper - 8. Solid. White - 9. Man of the match for me. Commanding with and without the ball. Luton was a blip. Allioski - 7. I thought he was busy and really worked hard. Could have had a couple himself if he had a brain when it comes to keeping on side. Klich - 9. I thought this was Klich at his best. His energy levels and work rate in that foirst half were incredible but more importantly he was creating chances and mking things happen. Glad he got his goal. Phillips - 8. Much better from Kalvin. His free kick was top drawer an hopefully we'll see more of these now he's bagged one. I thought he linked up the midfield well and worked hard. Harrison - 7. Not as involved as usual but certainly had his moment. Bamford - 5. I thought he was poor whether it was keeping onside or playing a simple pass straight to the opposition. Yes he got his goal and hit the post with two side footed shots but he needs to push on. Roberts - 5. Didn't do much. Subs: Hernandez - lively as always Shack - came on and looked lively, I like Shack. So on to Stoke, Thursday at 5pm , how fecking stupid is that ? _______________________________________________ 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/ Dorigo's Right Buttock... _______________________________________________ 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/ Dorigo's Right Buttock...
