On 606 and other programmes they have started using the phrase "win ugly" - and
whilst it is one of those stupid phrases that does not really mean anything ,
if the phrase "win ugly"can ever be applied to a football match then it was us
last night.
It was a dreadful and immediately forgettable game in front of a paltry crowd
of 19,000 (4k less than Norwich !!) who spent most of the match pretty well
comatose.
There were very few incidents of any note - Casper let one long shot bounce up
over his body (did it a few matches ago when it hit the bar) but this time
caught the rebound off himself. Kisnorbo made one great saving tackle. Both
sides had a few feeble long range efforts and neither keeper really had a shot
to save.
It was not the players fault :the weather was awful with huge gusts of wind
billowing around the pitch - one high and long ball moved about 4 different
directions in the air.
We did however press and have the lions share of possession and ultimately just
about deserved the points. The credit for the win goes to Max and SG.
At half time he brought on White and his pace and direct running started to
cause them a few problems. Then the two managers showed their skills - in
Orients case they took off the midget up front and brought on the huge Jamie
Scowcroft - Grayson on the other hand took off our target man - the once again
largely ineffective Vokes - and brought on our midget , Max Gradel and the game
changed. Gradel ran them ragged and we took control of the game as the clock
ran down, then a beautiful twist and turn got him past 3 defenders and he
rocketed it into the top corner - another beauty and another late winner.
So 4 clean sheets and 4 victories on the spin after the hiccup at Millwall. The
Leeds machine keeps marching on.
On the way home we had a big debate about Michael Doyle - I was sticking up for
him saying he does the hard unnoticed work that lets the others play. My lad
reckons he is just crap and can't tackle pass or shoot - who is right ?
