I only knew it was on late on and found it online 15 secs after Yeovil scored
so never saw the good Leeds bit.
Bugger me we panicked, it was a mixture of nervous defending and trying to be
too fancy. I understand it's hard for them, half the time I was saying "just
fecking hoof it away" and the other half I was saying "not another aimless punt
upfield"
It seemed we got very nervous after they scored and no one wanted to take
responsibility of the ball except Gradel. Now comms were singing his praises
and I greatly admired his commitment, he ran his bollocks off and I saw at
least two instances where he blocked a clearance. However he needs to calm down
and not shout at everybody all the time. I'd start him again though as my guess
is he was just trying to make the most of his chance in the starting line up.
Pete bemoaned Beckford. I thought he held the line up okay despite shitty
service (remember I'm only talking the last 20 mins when we were utter pants0
He was definitely frustrated by the lack of support from midfield.
The midfield - Where did they go? It was rearguard action, hoof it long and
hope the Beckford or Gradel would beat the last defender for pace. One saviour
I could see was Snodgrass, he's got pace he's got vision, he tries things, he
seemed to be always looking to play football, if we don't go up we've no chance
of keeping him, if I was Moyes I'd forget Beckford and snap up Snodgrass in a
sec, I really think he could hold his own at prem level on the wing, with a
solid holding midfield pair and license to roam he could terrorise ant defence.
So for 60 odd mins we dominated but they scored against the run of play and we
panicked. Is holding out for a win a good boost or is the fact we nearly fell
apart another worry.
My season predictor has us in 3rd place now behind Swindon and that's with us
now going on a good spree.
