The way we were playing it looked like it could be a rout however in true Leeds style we let Tranmere back in with a ridiculous mistake at the back with Sodje, with back to goal, heading backwards towards the keeper but not realising that Casper was stood right behind him so the ball just went over Casper’s head and rolled agonisingly into an open net. To be honest I still thought Casper would keep it out but he seemed a bit slow and seemed to slip. A complete mess. Now was it Sodje’s fault or Caspers ? Not sure but there’s been one too many mix ups involving Casper.
The general concencus round us was Casper's fault because we all felt that if he'd given Sodje a shout an experienced player like him would have let the ball go through to Casper without heading it and casper could have then caught it easily.
. First a terrible bit of defending from Tranmere that allowed Snodgrass to swing in a free kick which Becchio unmarked seemed to bundle in unmarked from 3 yards.
There was a terrific run into space by Beckford following the free kick and he got his head to it and tried to guide it into the net but it was going across the goal and out before Becchio turned up to knee/shin it into the net. Very Chapmanesque!
The second was their big, black lad went off injured. He isn’t a really good striker or anything but he is a real nuisance and had caused us problems
throughout. I hope he’s injured for the play-offs if we get them.
What is it about footballers called Savage that makes them have stupid haircuts?
Becchio – 5. He was shocking in the first half today. He didn’t win any headers, he just couldn’t control the ball and he finds it very difficult to play the simplest of balls. On one occasion he was put through, all he had to do was play a simple ball through to Beckford but it was beyond him. He improved slightly second half and started to win a few headers but he still managed to spend a lot of time on his arse. Still, he got his goal and you can’t argue with that can you ?
There was one time in the second half when he played what appeared to be a lovely first-time flick-on to Beckford when he was under pressure but as the boy Sean said you can never be sure with Becchio whether its a flick-on or a mis-control. We're all agreed round us that his fourth touch is usually excellent!
