A few thoughts from me on today's game. Good result but for me not only was it a poor game it was a poor performance from us. I think we've got a few players who are not making the grade. Lots of effort but low on ability and I think the 4-2-1-3 isn't working with Doukara and Sacko pretending to be wingers.
I thought first half Wednesday gave us a lot of space but we just couldn't hurt them and it took a bad defensive play that gifted Wood a goal for us to hurt them. He looked well off side to me. Second half I thought they took control and some of our defending was bordering on desperate. Even on the break we looked out of sorts and to be honest apart from the goal we didn't create a decent chance in 94 minutes. Still a double of Wednesday and a win that keeps us looking good for a play off place. I just don't think we're good enough. Scores : Green - 9 penalty save earned us 2 point. Ayling - 7 . I thought he looked ok today and did try and break out at times. Some of his defensive play was a bit shaky. Beradi - 7 so obviously playing out of position but he does really well and he put in some good challenges today. Bartley - 7 pretty solid and some good clearances. Jannson - 6. Another booking and he didn't do much wrong but I didn't think he was quite at it today. Bridcutt - 6. Some great challenges and some great battling but his passing going toward on occasions let him down. I've been a little disappointed with Bridcutt in the last few weeks. Still think he's a great little player. O'Kane - 5. Thought he did ok first 25 minutes but he faded and really had no influence on the game. He looks lightweight to me and has done so since his arrival. Hernandez - 4. When he's not doing his stuff you have to wonder what he's bringing to the party? Some of his passing, at times, is shocking. Very frustrating player. Doukara - 4. Worked hard but he contributed sweet fuck all. Not a winger , not sure what he is ? Other than pretty shit in most games recently. Sacko - 4. I think he's a sack of shit who lacks basic awareness and ability. Yes his pace creates a bit of chaos now and again but his final ball is lacking nearly always. We have to look for alternatives ? Oh yes we bought 2 ! Wood - 7. I thought the first 45 minutes was his best for Leeds. He looks full of confidence, his control was good and he took his goal confidently. I think he suffers from lack of support and I question his effectiveness playing up front alone. That's his 20th league goal. Very impressive total. Still doesn't change my view of him as a very limited, no pace striker but he is in a different class to Becchio ( that ain't hard though) Subs: Dallas - looked fucking awful - he's shit. Vierra - I thought he did well Roofe - never has the ball under control. Don't rate this lad. I should be happy about this match but I'm not. I thought we were second best and I don't think we are firing at all at the moment. Great crowd for an early kick off. Chateauneuf-du-pape to lighten my mood. _______________________________________________ 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
