"Who put the ball in the cardiff net? Who put the ball in the Cardiff net, who put the ball in the Cardiff net - half our fucking team did " A brilliant chant to round off a brilliant day. They were unbeaten in 9 games and had only lost once in their last 13 visits to us, who can forget the 3-0 lead being thrown away in Struik first appearance, or the humiliating 0- 5 when Bellamy ripped us apart,( add to that the infamous cup defeat at theirs under O' leary) - Well this was sweet revenge Prematch we were all moaning about that bore fest at Burnley and our general lack of umph and ambition, well today showed what happens when we go for it for 90minutues- we destroy them. This was a rout from first to last , a chance in the first few minutes and a goal after 6 minutes then the seventh and last on 95minutes , a day to savour Discussing possible team selection my lad and I agreed we needed to bring back Rothwell and Firpo to add to our attack and forward momentum- well we got what we asked for , and it worked Firpo credited with 3 assists - 2 of which were crosses into the 6yd box that any winger ever would have been proud of If you were writing the perfect game for this team this was it-
I read pre-match that Aaronsson hasn't scored or assisted in 7 games, he scored the opener, Piroe not scored for a while and only got 5 in 20 starts ( his other goals were as sub) - he slotted home a penalty and scored the 7th. Joseph has not been the player we were hoping for especially in front of goal, he got a tap- in. Willy been off the boil recently, came on and beat a few defenders before firing home Even Meslier, who has kept clean sheets since his Hull debacle - but without facing a real shot- was written into the script and made one decent diving save. Finally DJ a player who has often been criticised for lack of vision did exactly the right thing for the first 2 goals, laying it on a plate for Aaronsson and Solomon respectively when he could easily have taken the wrong option.He was a man on a mission yesterday and probably my man of the match This was almost the perfect performance and result, only the glaring miss by Ramazani who could have made it 7 with 7 different scorers at the time, a bit disappointing. Let's have more of the same please and blow away a few more teams between now and the end of the season It was fun 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/ Martin Brown, a Usual Suspect who gave us Spadge Tours and Team17 R.I.P.
