Steve Waugh once said " you've just dropped the world cup" to a SA player when he dropped a catch Last night the lad near me gave his version " you've just relegated Leeds " aimed at Bamford after THAT miss. Put it in, its 3 points and possible salvation Hard to know where to start, on the good side, we certainly put in the effort, McKinnie had his best game for us ( a low bar admittedly) Mes made some good saves, we scored a really good goal, and in the last few minutes when we really went for it we did look threatening with a good header saved on the line, another shot saved by the keepers feet and the miss, the crowd stuck with the team right till the final whistle ( some Orta out and sack the board as we left the stands)
On the bad side Roca - rhymes with shocker, enough said, the fact that they always looked the better side, cooper, Firpo and Koch all making mistakes for their goal, our inability to pass to a white shirt, the odd subs - Gnonto?- and the miss by Bamford . Sinnisterra getting injured again. Let's face it we got lucky, not a single fan or player complained when they lashed it home to take the lead. There was disbelief when VAR got involved and disallowed it , a real let off. The second ref , sorry Maddison, got on the end of a cross and was inches away from opening the scoring. If either had been goals we would have been a goal down and the crowd would have turned. Things nearly went even worse when we did our customary collapse after conceding but luckily Vardy had strayed offside So a point when 3 was needed Before the game we discussed how many points would keep us up - 34 or 35 was the general view- we have 30 so somehow need another 4 or 5 - we have to go for it v Bournemouth, sitting back is not working. Bamford has been half hero half villain all his Leeds career- last night was villain plus. Let's hope he can redeem himself v Bournemouth with the winner Not looking good Dave _______________________________________________ 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/ Dave Dowden, a legend, a Totty Twin, a pie man!
