I think it will go down as one of our worst defeats and i think we'll see it repeated on television on a regular basis. Certainly one of the most miserable days i've had as a Leeds fan. More annoying because it seemed avoidable. Macca seemed to have totally failed to plan for Histon's very obvious game plan or the pitch conditions (it absolutely chucked it down around Cambridge on Saturday night). As many others have said it took us about 60 minutes to work out how to play and even then it seemed to be forced on us by Robinsons injury rather than any tactical master-stroke. Robinson was never likely to be effective in that game, Enoch should have played from the start, he was the most effective player by a mile. To add insult to injury it was cold, i got soaked (despite being in the covered 'Grandstand' - the roof leaked) and the view was sh*t. Not that these are complaints - can't expect much different from a village ground. Of the 4 of us, I got soaked by a car walking out of the village, Andy lives 2 villages away (and is planning to stay indoors for about a week, Wiggy has the pleasure of that being his last game before moving to US for work (so good memory to leave on) and Niggy fell over in the mud. We weren't a happy bunch of campers. I think Macca should be given more time but he's got to plan for the obvious better. Matt

I mean that this was a competition we had no hope of winning. I don't care about being out of it. If we go forward and gain promotion this year we won't even remember it. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
