Well I am starting to worry that (whether due to medication or not) I am on a
different planet to everyone else when it comes to watching Leeds because I
really really enjoyed last night (apart from the end result) at £10 it was a
real bargain in terms of entertainment and excitement and it was a miracle then
we never got the equaliser that would have brought about penalties.
I was even impressed with Wise \ Basset substitution bringing on Kandol to
give us 3 big men up front to replace the rapidly fading and tiring Carole (who
is needed for bigger things on Saturday) and even the desperate move of Heath
for De Vries.
At lot of the game was reminiscent of the Swindon game in the League Cup a
few years ago ( 2 - 0 down back to 2 -2 with Robbo goal and then win on pens).
A good sized crowd (a record for this comp) of nearly 19,000 were
enthusiastic and loud and stayed 100% behind the team , just as it should be.
Plenty of positives. Madden looked good, Parker is good enough for first
team. Howson had his best game for us, Carole and Da Costa have that extra bit
of class and Constantine got on the score sheet and hopefully will go on a good
scoring run when he gets his chance.
Negatives - defeat in a competition that we could have won to give us
silverware and a trip to Wembley and secondly the fact that we can't defend at
corners.
Having seen it all on TV I agree their goal was over the line when Prutts
hooked it back (noticed at time we did not complain so thought that was the
case) and Da Costa kicked out when on the floor a definite red card.
At the end of the day we gave 100% effort and commitment and had the ball in
their half more in the second half than I have seen for ages, and it was
(Prutts, Rui and Seb apart) our reserves.
So back to the League and the important stuff on Saturday - "15 points who
gives a ....."
Dave (the fan on the happy patches !!)
