Wasn't there, but that's the most depressing result since Doncaster. It's really hitting me tonight, as we sit 6th and everyone else around us won. With 5 defeats already, I agree the best we can realistically expect is play-offs, so no doubt that will make it harder to ward off predators in the transfer window. If we lose better players in the window, another cycle of lesser replacement faces starts and I can see us stuck in Div. Three for some years to come. I don't know how to look at Monday now. The win vs Palace and heroic failure at Derby mean nothing now, just as wins at Northampton and Histon only to lose to a Prem or Championship 'big boy' in Round Three will just mean a few more tired legs and no help getting the hell out of League One. So if 'concentrating on the Cup' isn't a serious option, best to exit on Monday, and just maybe get 7 or 9 from the next 3 starting vs Hartlepool. And then things would start to feel brighter. But it feels very bleak tonight.

Dominate possession and territory create but fail to take chances and then give away soft preventable goals at the other end. We started well a run by Paker who gave the ball to Becchio whose long cross was met at the far post by Snodgrass who sneaked it in. 5 mins gone and 1-0 up, was this the game when someone was going to get the long awaited hammering ? Answer no, we dominated and played some good flowing football - at times too ambitious with the cross field balls - mixed with some pretty pattern but toothless stuff and throughout we looked shaky when they broke. One move from them ended with Parker legging the bloke up - to myself and those around me it looked inside the box but to Premiership (you're having a laugh) ref Mark Halseyit was outside. We hoped for the second which we felt would end it as a contest but it was not to be and then right from the 2nd half kick off they were given the freedom of our penalty area and following a weak save by Casper when he pushed it rather than catching it one of theirs finally put it in. We conitued to dominate (overall 10 corners to 1 tells the story) and Becchio hit the crossbar, sub (how can he not start?) Becks forced the keeper into a great save, Robbo was just wide when his shot just failed to curl in. Then in injury time Telfer gave the ball away "well its ended like it started, with a terrible ball by Telfer " I said to mate, but worse was to come, Cadamartari ran with it but instead of taking it to the corner to run down the clock he ran to byline and crossed to lad who appeared to miss hit it and it trickled into the wrong corner 2 - 1 all our good work once again undone by bad schoolboy defending ! The Hudds fans ("ten miles down the road, but you couldn't sell your tickets") went wild - we went home . It is becoming a worry and too often now - all the possession is no good when your defence is so poor. Can't be bothered with individual scores etc - feeling pretty pi**ed off at present Need to win on Monday to get back on track and get a Cup run going Dave _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
