[LU] Ipswich addendum - Tom Lees
Probably because I have tried to wipe it from my mind but I forget to mention the performance of Tom Lees - I have never seen a worse 'footballer' than this lad. He is generally poor on the ball but yesterday he took it to new heights (lows?) Every time and I mean every, he had the ball at his feet he looked to turn back and pass it to Kenny or just lumped it forward. Given that we had no target man this was more stupid than normal. It got so bad and so predictable that fans were genuinely laughing towards the end of the game at his ineptitude. Yes he is an OK defender but you need more than that at this level and sorry Tom, you just have not got it A reflection on the game is the fact that for me, Warnock was man of the match !

Re: [LU] Ipswich
I'm trying to think if I've ever seen a lower quality bunch if players turn out for Leeds and I can't say I have. The league 1 Leeds would beat this team hands down.

[LU] Ipswich
Well I may have been looking forward to this pre match but after about 10minutes I was looking forward to the final whistle, so poor was the fare on offer. 2 poor teams, playing poorly does not make for a great spectacle especially in the rain. As expected we began with the same team as started against Leicester, the only change being Diouf for Varney, who did not even make the bench, giving credence to the Varney to Blackburn rumours. Against Leicester we started with passion and commitment and some flair creating chances galore early on - yesterday by half time our sum total was a shot by Austin that then keeper saved down to his right but which looked like it was going wide anyway, plus McCormack could only skim with the top of his head a too high cross. They were no better and also created little in a game littered with odd off sides - I say off because there were so many of them, mainly within a few yards of the halfway line and not appealed for by either team. The only bright point were a couple of nice triangles between Kebe, Byram and Diouf along our right touchline which came to nothing - not helped by the linesman who was 2 yards away but was the only one who did not see Byram 'taken out' when going for a one two. Diouf clearly has more class and skill than the rest of the team but I am not sure what actual use he is in the present line up. His lack of pace and lack of goal scoring threat makes him a luxury we do not need. The 20k crowd (up to you if that is good or not) greeted half time with muted applause and a few boos. These boos were really ramped up fairly early into the second half when a long range shot should have caused Kenny no worries but he somehow let it go through him and into the corner of the net - shocking mistake. This brought chants of 'we all love Leeds' from our new singers in the South Stand whereas the Kop responded with 'what the F is going on' for a few minutes before getting behind the team again. Things then improved slightly when Stewart who had got some real stick off the crowd a few minutes before for checking back and passing the ball to them ,when the chance was there for him to have a run at them, did just that and although he seemed to have run out of space and lost a bit of control in the box he was tripped and we got the nailed on but soft penatly Capt Ross hit it home and McD brought on Mowatt and Poleon - who were about to be brought on before the penalty This injection of youth and pace roused the crowd and Mowatts prompting passing and Poleons direct running did liven things up a bit but to say that the last half hour was entertaining would be stretching a bit At last the final whistle put us out of our misery and it was a point apiece - all either team desreved on a night that will soon be forgotten. The applause at the end was subdued and there were a few shouts of abuse but mainly fans were just apathetic - they are fed up to the back teeth with the take over nonsense and the lack of transfers despite all the big talk from Haig The five minutes or so between the goals showed that the fans are desperate to get behind the team and support them BUT that patience has worn out, 10 years of dross has made fans patience wafer thin Anyway roll on Saturday and 3 points :-) Dave ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER

Went behind but now level 1-1 Ross McCormack penalty. Kenny apparently had a howler for their goal - a 30 yard speculative shot that he should've easily saved. I'd nearly take the draw now!

Can't help thinking that tonight is make or break for BMD - I hope it isn't.

> To say we played 'quick exciting' football though is stretching it a > bit. It depends what you're comparing it against. I saw us play at Doncaster in December, a game we won three nil, and we played much quicker and more exciting football against Leicester. And compared to Sheffield Wednesday it was like watching a different team. Some of the play was quick against Leicester, and if you don't think the ball hitting the woodwork, at both ends, players missing one on ones with the keeper, and the ball just flashing wide of the goal is exciting, albeit not satisfying from our point of view, then I think you're not enjoying your football that much. Or perhaps it's just that as I'm no longer a season ticket holder, and only attend occasionally, I don't have that jaded feeling I used to have, and enjoy the games much more now I go sporadically.

Re: [LU] Game tonight
I agree completely with the final sentence and would agree with the sacking if we lost both the next two games and played poorly in them.

Re: [LU] Game tonight
Sorry to be the voice of gloom but I eventually got round to watching the Leicester first half and all I could say was that it was an improvement on Rocdale and Sheffield Wed but that statement is pretty worthless. I think it's one of the few times where the performance exceeded the expectation level which was so low pre- Leicester. To say we played 'quick exciting' football though is stretching it a bit. I thought we competed and were the better side for 30 mins. We were obviously helped by the manager actually playing a system that the players were familiar with and also the dropping of Murphy and Pugh. I am too looking forward to tonight but I fear the worse. A defeat Followed by a gubbing by Tarn on Saturday and that could spell the end for BMD. > On 28 Jan 2014, at 12:30, "nat...@sky.com" wrote: > > Same here - seems like ages since we had a game. > Dave > > > > On Tuesday, 28 January 2014, 12:10, David Brennan > wrote: > > Well I'm really looking forward to tonight.

Well I'm really looking forward to tonight. I think we were fantastic against Leicester, playing some exciting quick football, against the runaway league leaders, and really should have won.

Re: [LU] Game tonight
Cameron Stewart has been playing almost all season on loan at Charlton so hasn't been languishing anywhere. I still think Kebe will come good with patience and match practice. Confidence player. We need to work to spread the play and create space for him to get 1 on 1 against his full back.

Agreed...tonight is a massive, massive game. As Dave said, we seemed like we'd if not turned the corner then at least got our noses around it after the Leics game. But *we have still lost 5 games in a row! *I think we competed well v leics, and of course we all know we made loads of chances in the first 25 mins, but I didn't think we actually played any particularly convincing footballit was all 100 mph stuff which seemed to knock the oppoes off their stride.

[LU] Game tonight
Irrespective of the lack of transfer activity and the nonsense of the ongoing takeover there is an important game tonight Performance wise we did stop the rot in the Leicester game but of course we still lost. Tonight we need to get 3 points and we need to do it with a bit of style. Whilst the crowd are 100% behind McDermott in so much as they all want him to succeed, a fair number are starting to doubt his actual ability after a few awful performances and strange team selections McD has to get it right tonight - his instinct will, presumably, be to pick the same team as did reasonably well last time out. Smith (hat-trick last night to make it 4 in 2 behind closed door games) is still banned and Hunt, who also scored v Hull is still not quite match fit and Diouf did not play in midweek. GFH are still trying in regards to fans and have made it £20 to get in tonight, but reading about ticket sales on (obsessed) waccoe it does not seem to be working that well, with a crowd nearer 20 than 30 expected.
