Dave u missed 3 things: Bradley Johnson got caught pissing about on the edge of his box for the first goal. He was terrible last night, his distribution is shocking and when he tries to beat his man when playing on the left it is laughable he's not good enough.
Becchio - missed yet another sitter in the first half. He's so painfully not good enough for this league. At least Grayson appears to be planning for his replacement. Remove the pace, control and skill of Watt and Sam up front and you're left with not much. Collins - pedestrian at best. Accident waiting to happen. ...... And it did last night. Could have been worse Higgs pulled off a great save second half when we were on the ropes. Trying to get a ticket for Barnsley it's bloody hard when you're a part timer. Barnsley only selling to people who have bought tickets off them before. Another team throwing away revenue on an attempt to keep away the nasty Leeds hooligans.

We looked (Gradel excepted) very lacklustre and had no real drive or passion in what was a pretty tedious affair for the most part .A decent crowd of 16,509 turned up and looking at the size of the queue at the ticket office many decided to turn up on the back of Saturdays win. The stewards again went into "all sit down mode" - quite right when you look at all the deaths and serious injuries caused by persistent standing on Saturday ! We started the game on top but fairly sluggish and not really carving out any chances - Max was the only one showing an interest and he was buzzing round causing them all sorts of problems and did link up well on a number of occasions with Somma whose all round play looked decent enough. Neither side threatened much and were mainly cancelling each other out - we had a header just over and a couple of half chances - when we had our best spell of the game. A corner to us led to the ball being passed back and back some more and then back again to Higgs (as I was screaming don't give it this keeper!) when his clearance found Kilkenny who turned his man and fed a nice ball through to Max, who instead of trying to beat their whole team hit a lovely cross first time into the box and Somma glanced it into the net. An excellent well worked goal. We then really created some pressure and one run into the box by Max - with the ref twice waving play on as the Leics players hacked at him - ended in a scramble and a clearance off the line. We then began to lose possession and they came more into it. Higgs made a couple of good saves but an equaliser started to look inevitable and that is how it proved - a good bit of passing on the edge of our box and then the ball in our net. Nothing much happened after that until a huge punt into our area was met by Collins totally on his own but the ball bounced up and hit his hand and the ref pointed to the spot. Howard sent Higgs the wrong way and sent us out. We did not really deserve anything from the game, dominating possession at times but not creating much - we really missed the drive and runs of Sam and Watt (who was also very subdued when he did get on) So 9 out of ten for Max and a very average 6 for the rest of them (OK give Somma 7 for scoring) Disappointment all round Still roll on Saturday at Watford and the important stuff Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER
