Re Dave's Report Thank goodness... an optimistic report in a sea of whinging!
I agree with nearly all that you said Dave, I think on another day had we had the "rub-of-the-green" we would have scored a bucketful. It was just one of those nights when things just didn't go how they should (penalty decision aside) All the people sat round me moaned all game and picked on every player when he made an error (Mowatt aside). Walking away from the game I met up with some other mates (who go to every game home & away) and they moaned that in general we are rubbish! And as for the whingers on Radio Leeds...! I thought I was on my own when I think we've definitely imporved from the Warnock/Bates days and we are just going through a sticky patch. As McD ponits out, he couldn't get the other couple of players in that he wanted. I guess these would be a striker and a winger. Given two decent additions I don't think we're far off. Instead of looking at everyone's frailities why can't people see their good points? We're a Championship club that can't over invest - not a team at the top of the prem playing in Champion's League! I thought overall all our players did okay last night, maybe with the exception of Hunt. I'm not doubting he's a decent player but it just isn't working out for him at Leeds. Also last night when we pushed forward with a bit of aggression/speed I thought we looked okay (admittedely it was against 10) - we look far better than when we break, and then pass sideways to allow the opposition time to re-group. I guess an attacking winger would help on this score. On the penalty decision, from our viewpoint (NE Corner Upper), I thought it was 50/50 and felt it was a bit harsh when he got sent off. Someone said to me that they didn't think McD knows what he is doing, i.e. which is his best team. He himself sort of admitted that on the radio after, saying he was unsure who to start with at the moment. He did praise Mowatt though (rightly so) My only criticism is that Diouf isn't getting a look in. I still think we create more with him in the side than not in it. Is there something we don't know? Is it a fitness thing? (like Byram?) So I'm not doom and gloom and my glass is still just over half-full.
