A hard fought and forgettable match but another 3 pts - points we need to have any chance of automatic promotion. They were a strange team , they had huge periods of possession especially at the start of the second half, but seemed content to just keep the ball a la Japp Stams Reading a few seasons ago, and not attempt to do anything with it. In fact during their longest period of possession it was us who had the only shot, a tame effort by Summerville after we took the ball off them and attacked on the break They had one real chance of note all game , right on the stroke of half time with a good cross from their right which led to Archie Gray marking 2 players , luckily the one it fell to totally fluffed his kick. That apart they offered nothing but looked comfortable on the ball and made it hard for us. So overall it was fairly boring with lots of sideways passing but glimpses of sublime skill and flicks by Georginio and Summerville made it watchable, and the one nik scoreline kept it tense, a second at any stage would have been game over.Our goal on 15 minutes was a worthy match winner -Georginio ( who has great work rate to go with his skills) won the ball, fed James who put in a lovely floated cross to the back post and Bamford headed home - 4 in 5 for him now. He had another shot pulled wide, Georginio had a shot saved as did Firpo, Summerville had another that just went the wrong side of the post, Anthony had a great chance but dawdled and was blocked, as we created plenty of half chances but could not get a second to lut it to bed.Still a vital 3 points and if we can beat Bristol on Friday night next week we go up to second albeit the other will have games in hand Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected]
