As the chant went " follow follow follow, you're a team of f@cking weirdos, Ronaldo's a rapist, greenwoods a rapist and Scholes just loves to suck toes"Made me laugh even if none of them actually play. Very low key police presence at Piccadilly early on, and only a handful of fans on our train, met by a handful of coppers at Leeds. Then massed ranks of police at the barrier and even stranger ( I wondered for a second if the pub had been given to them) 5 vans and 15 or so police outside the west Ridings. This was the scum game.Team news was as expected but the bench showed how we are suffering yet again with injuries as Gyabi, Monteiro, Joseph and Mullen all made the bench. Not much there if we needed a boost. At the bus queue my lad got into it with some knob ( unfortunately not the only one as it turned out) who sang the runway song, then after my lads comment, tried to double and triple down with version of Daisy daisy and the laughing policeman ( not putting words on here) - no one joined in as we berated him , his " excuse" one of them was buried in a cemetery near him and it got attention. What a dick. He later remembered it was David Pegg ( buried in Doncaster) Inside the ground it was the right type of hostility near us, the new song as above , we all hate scum etc, with lots of backing for us " Billy bremner's barmy army" - great stuff. The cheer when Adams thundered into the first tackle leaving their player on the deck was brilliant We really got at them and Summerville missed an easy chance early on, and he had another before half time in a half of few chances, Meslier had to save with his feet as s woeful pass from the mainly excellent Wober let in that hateful Fernandes what a horrible player he is whining moaning and trying to referee it Second half ( till last 10) was even better as we created lots of half chances, summerville had a save, Harrison had a flick just wide, koch had a header blocked,Ayling came closest with a shot that ricocheted through a scum players legs and went wide, he followed it up with a great overhead kick that unfortunately went straight to the keeper. We pressed and pressed but it was not to be. At the other end their first attack led to them hitting the bar, then on 80 minutes it all fell, apart. We had made changes Harrison and Bamford off for Rutter and aaranson and it didn't work and tiredness crept in. We left Rashford clear in the box and a good cross found him 0-1 , minutes later their sub zoomed past Koch and his shot sneaked in. Game over. It could have been worse as they put it in twice more but both offside. So a 2 - 0 defeat in a game we could have won The now familiar comment after the game " play like this and we will be all right"Trouble is , so far we have only played like that v good teams and have not a lot to show for it , defeats by Arsenal, Spurs, scum ( ok win v Chelsea and liverpool).We need to play like that v poor teams starting with the next two and we need to score when on top All the players gave their all and before Wednesday, a point and only minus 2 in the goals column may have been acceptable but not when 2 up in the first game and the better team for 80 minutes of the second. We need to get points , at least 4 in the next 2, and turn things around. This week has given us more hope but not much more than that. Summerville and Gnonto are brilliant to watch and Adams and big boy McKinney give us a strong base in midfield and Wober has improved us at the back, so it is not a lost cause by any means,. Finally a well done to Firpo best game yet ( albeit a low bar) he was ok defensively and offered more than Struijk going forward Let's get the new manager in quickly and hope he us the right man, this team could be decent Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected]
