Re: [LU] That was a landmark win
I’ve seen plenty of commentary about Moyes, but essentially he is correct - we got an advantage, for once, from an FA decision. And whilst the ‘new’ Leeds might not have questioned fixture scheduling recently, we certainly have in the past. OK, Moyes sounded bitter, but understandably so imho? Great result though, but can we carry that form, and intensity, through to the Newcastle game? A win, and the league table will look much better! > On 18 Jan 2022, at 00:13, Alec McQueen wrote: > > Dave > Spot on...

Re: [LU] That was a landmark win
Dave Spot on... I had not realised until I saw the replays in full that we lost 2 of our main players and had to throw some youngsters on early. And we still won. I think this speaks volumes about MB's systemic approach... he is getting the youngsters to a stage where they can fill in successfully. This kind of development is our future. I don't think we will be in a position to compete with the big boys' transfer fees for a long time (if ever?). We need to become successful at developing our youth (as a lot of other clubs need to as well). Good coaching is everything.

Re: [LU] That was a landmark win
I agree , that was probably as good a win as any under Bielsa, in all the circumstances. A top 5 team in great form , a team whose style and way of playing means they generally beat us, and who score more from corners than anyone else , our real Achilles heel, and who have got more points from losing positions than any other snd who pegged us back twice. Dont forget in addition to the goals we also hit the bar, had 2 good chances for James and had a perfectly good goal ( rightly ) disallowed by a perverse rule,. We were the better team for large parts of the game. All this with the spine of the team missing (CH and captain, CM who is our main player, and CF ) in addition to other first team and squad players - (Llorente, Geldhart Robert's, Shackleton, Summerville, Greenwood, )and a bench where only a not yet fully fit Rodrigo has started a league game and included a 15 yr old. Then to cap it all we lose Forshaw and Firpo in the first 20mins For them to keep going , keep playing and keep believing was extraordinary indeed and is a massive testament to the players and to the manager. Compare Bielsa and his acceptance of it all to Moyes and his whinging " we had to play on Wednesday " remarks.

[LU] That was a landmark win
Still ravaged by injuries, confidence still possibly low, London hoodoo, players playing in abnormal positions, we still managed to engineer a win. Unless things go spectacularly badly, I am now reasonably confident we will be OK. We need to win against the teams below us and pick up a few points here and there, and we will get to the 36 that we need. Very good, landmark win. Well done lads!
