Re: [LU] Positive things about last night.
.Lots! I actually thought we playd ok. Clayton was probably the best midfielder on display and made som of the so-called wonderkids in Scum linup look average. White was good, and during a few periods we controlled the match. We created a few goalscoring opertuneties and limitet them to very few. Obviously there is a differance in finishing skills between the two teams - and Owens 2 goals were no short of excellent. Typical Owen for the first goal - touching the ball to the right path, surprising everybody (possibly even himself) - and the second was a snap shot as good as they get. How he managed to get that power into the shot without taking the time to swing his leg back I don't know, but that is the differance between the quality we can afford and the quality Scum posesses. Yes - it was the Scum 2nd. team, but I am sure every single Championship team would have loved to loan each and every player Scum fielded yesterday. The team we met yesterday had enough quality to walk the league we are playing in. So - a match that could have gone better and could have gone a lot worse. Would have loved to get a goal (how could NUNEZ not score), but an ok performance against a very offensive Scum reserve line-up.

Re: [LU] Positive things about last night.
I thought we were poor for 60 minutes but then slightly improved with the introduction of the subs. Our defence was bad throughout - Owen and Giggs with a combined age of 103 just took the piss. I thought the game emphasised that Becchio is not an option - we had no link up play and no continuity through the team with him leading the line and we never got beyond their back 4. Playing Keogh on the left wing was a joke. Come on. Becchio is shit and we all know it. Sat in South East and was pretty unimpressed with the toe rags from Leeds that turned up for this game. 90 minutes of whos that dying on the runway etc .. I felt like going home after 10 mins.

Re: [LU] Positive things about last night.
Rich, I'm amazed you didn't have at least one more observation :) NO PACE in the team at all now that Gradel has gone. In fact the 4-3-3 (4-2-3-1, 4-5-1) or whatever it was disguised the fact that Gradel was the only player with pace, as he was always a threat when the ball was played in behind the defence. Now he has gone, the opposition don't have to worry about that ball, so they can compress the game and the other Leeds players get less space. There were many times last night, when Leeds put 10 or more passes together, but never looked a threat, because nobody was capable of making the run for the 'killer' ball that Clayton and Howson wer both looking for, and are both capable of. McCormack has a good recent scoring record, but is a waste of space when out on the left, and Becchio is not a bad target man with a reasonable scoring record, but you do need at least the threat of pace. Nunez is a bit quicker than McCormack, but less consistent. What has happened to Lloyd Sam? At least he is reasonably at home in the wide positions, although he too seems to prefer the right. Difficult to measure just how bad Leeds were last night, the Brighton game will be a better measure.

Re: [LU] Positive things about last night.
Sorry - the whole game was poor for me. I was bored , pissed off and wish I hadn't spent £31. Once I heard Becchio was in the team I nearly went home. He's not a good target man.

Re: [LU] Positive things about last night.
last night was simply a difference in class - you can your last dollar that this lot had been wound up by Fergie (he wasn't going to have another defeat at our hands)and that they knew their jobs - their finishing was class (how good was Giggs' goal - even accepting that the defending was poor. Some Leeds fans don't have a grip on reality - were you really epexcting to beat the second best team in Europe (or their reserves) FFS, we can't beat Ipswich. I though Clayton, Howson and White did pretty well considering, Bromby was OK as well - our three problems at the moment are defence; lack of pace throughout the side; and Snodgrass - who had a shocking attitude last night, never mind the barney with Bromby, what about all the times he left Lees to try and bring an attack forward down the right in the second half while Snod was standing not five yards from one of the C Forwards...he's good, but his head is up his arse at the moment. Oh and Becchio, he's not the Messiah, he's more your run of the mill carthorse - didn't seem to cause their defence too much bother last night - for christ sake they played with Berbatov at CHalf for the last 20 minutes. Onwards to the south coast - this one matters much more. ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it)

Re: [LU] Positive things about last night.
From my optimistic perspective I have to believe that SG didn't want to give it a go.because he has bigger fish to fry.

Write this season off now. We're not going up, Not sure if you've looked at the table recently, but we're only two points off the playoffs.

Re: [LU] Positive things about last night.
Dream on Mark! We've undeniably gone backwards from last season. We've lost our player of the season and second top scorer (and only useful pace player), lost 3 decent(ish) midfielders - one of which (despite me thinking he's a cart horse!) is now holding down a starting role in the Premier League, despite making changes STILL have a defence that is incapable of ... errmm ... defending! Have brought in a 34 year old has been as our midfield 'saviour', made no signings of positive intent. But you continue to live the dream Mark, I don't wish to piss on anyones bonfire, but the bigger picture tells me I'm probably leaning in the right direction. Only positives for me this season are White, Lonergan, Lees, Taylor and Clayton. Will fit in well to our squad next season when our new sugar daddy pumps £20M in to the team and we romp to the Championship title!!! Write this season off now.

Re: [LU] Positive things about last night.
I'm not dreaming. This is the reality of the championship. Put together a decent run in February-March and a team can come from nowhere to make the playoffs. Like Reading last season, or Blackpool the season before, or Palace under Dowie a few years ago, who were in a relegation place on January 1 and ended up promoted via the playoffs. Look around the league - very few of the big-spending clubs are performing either. Leicester/Ipswich have had as shaky a start as we have. We've all got concerns about the current situation, but it's foolish to write off the season at this stage. 39 games to go! Dream on Mark! We've undeniably gone backwards from last season. We've lost our player of the season and second top scorer (and only useful pace player), lost 3 decent(ish) midfielders - one of which (despite me thinking he's a cart horse!) is now holding down a starting role in the Premier League, despite making changes STILL have a defence that is incapable of ... errmm ... defending!
