I will keep it short and (not so) sweet - last night was very poor indeed, 2 average teams playing poorly in a game devoid of goal mouth action and incident. Neither team deserved more than a point in a dire game played in front of a small and very disinterested crowd The crowd, once again, gives the lie to the 'reduce prices and the place will be packed' argument. It was a Cat C (£20 cheapest with the possibility of getting £5 off if you know a ST holder) and yet less than 18k bothered.
Norris was OK, Diouf showed bits of class, Byram looked tired and is wasted at full back, Becchio, Brown and Varney were all poor. We failed once again to keep a clean sheet I was disappointed that Hall did not get a run out - he is supposed to have pace and the ability to take players on. If he is not ready why did we let Poleon go to Bury ? Hopefully Austin will be back on Saturday to add a bit of drive and energy into the team The goal was reasonable - Byram was chopped down but the ref played on as the ball came to Brown, he crossed it into the box and Varney rose well and headed it down towards Norris who turned and hit a good shot that the keeper had no chance with. That was pretty much our only shot on target all game. The equaliser was poor defending - we let them pass it along the edge of our area unchallenged and then one of them shot through a crowd of players and the ball found its way into the bottom corner. They were no better than us and they only had 2 other chances of note - one where Lees(?) miscued it onto the bar , very close to an own goal and then Kenny made a good save right at the death to save a point. Lets hope for a massive improvement on Saturday and we can get revenge for last years hammering at the hands of their tall lad Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
