Well that was another straightforward victory with none of the drama of Sunday as we go back top ( where we belong)James was rested after his exertions on Sunday and match winner Gnonto took his place - a sign of the strength in depth we have The first goal was amazing and well deserved even that early on (10 mims) An intricate passing move involving Bryam, Gnonto , Tanaka and Solomon led to Byram having a shot that ricocheted up in the air back to him and with his left foot off the ground he hammered home with his right - a great scissor kick reminiscent of Paulo de Canio famous goal Luton then had their only real chance of getting something from the game, first a shot from the corner of the six yard box beat Mes but Struik appeared from nowhere and at full tilt running towards his own goal somehow hooked the ball off the line - brilliant defending, and a definite goal saver. Later they had a cross to the far post where Byram had lost his man but the free header went into the side netting.In between those 2 chances, Gnonto should have done better with a good chance Then on the stroke of half time , game over. A corner by Rothwell was well met by Struik but his powerful header was saved only for Piroe to fire in the rebound Second half passed without incident really, we kept the ball and total control of the match. They took off a player called Marvellous - proving nonnative determinism is nonsense- he like all Luton player was average at best. A player with scum connections came on as Pantomime villain as we coasted but without the mistakes of Sunday Icing on the cake DJ , on as sub , was fed with a lovely ball over the top by Bogle and he chipped the keeper - exquisite. Biggie Smalls came on ( did not get the ex scum treatment) and entertained and enthralled with some lovely touches - Georginio who ? Wober came on to muted applause and a few boos ,unnecessary in my opinion We even had time for Meslier to actually make 2 saves to increase his ( appalling) saves to shots ratio- 2nd worse in the division? And thereby keep his clean sheet statistic at the top of the chart So a real tea party for us , a straight forward victory and the annual Gary Speed applause and chant Lets hope these 2 victories are the start of a real stretch of winsTop of the league again Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected]
