[LU] Town

[Richard Walker via Leedslist]

Thoroughly entertaining game yesterday. I think the result was right, we could 
have had more and Town didn't bother us much but I think they did put of a 
fight in the first half and I don't think they will be going down. 
The match started brilliant with Ayling's flying volley. It was a similar start 
to West Brom last season when Hernandez rocketed one in to the top corner 
before most people had settled into their seats. This was better because it was 
a volley and it was our right back. What is Ayling going to do in the remaining 
9 matches ? Will he end up being our top scorer ? I was all on for dropping him 
after Christmas but he's been really good and he's surprised me not only with 
his goals but his general game has improved. 
After this early set back I thought Town took a bit of control especially in 
midfield where again I thought we looked a man short with White playing in deep 
midfield. They had a couple of guys who were prepared to run with the ball and 
they definitely pushed us back without creating too much. There best chance 
came to the guy with the stupid haircut and he shot straight at Meisler and it 
nearly went through his legs. Luckily it didn't. 
So at half-time, everyone was still buzzing about the goal but to be honest I 
don't think we played that well and Town definitely matched us. 
That wasn't the story 2nd half. We came out and took complete control. We 
scored a 2nd when White's header was well saved but only parried to Bamford who 
couldn't miss from a yard out. He ran over to us in the NE and he looked pretty 
relieved. His game did improve then until he got subbed for Roberts. 
We steamrolled them from then on and should have had more. Harrison dribbled 
his way through the whole team and then turned, span and curled a left footer 
against the upright. That would have matched Ayling's goal and more. When his 
tail is up, he's hard to play against. 
I thought Town ran out of puff, they stopped running and our fitness was just 
superior and they never got ont the ball. Beradi at the back won everything and 
White grew into his midfield role alhough he wasn't up against much in that 2nd 
half. 
Roberts came on and immediately looked sharp on the break. On one attack he was 
through and if he'd kept on running it would have been a one on one with their 
keeper but he strangely opted to pass and the move broke down. 
Town had a good shout for a late pen. Luckily it wasn't given cos if it had 
been Ayling could have been red carded because he was on a yellow, 
At full time, I think everyone was happy and for me this was a very comfortable 
win. 9 to go. 
Meisler - 5. Looked nervy to me. He had 2 shots to save. One nearly went 
through his legs, the other he spilled and was lucky to get away with. I'm 
hoping 2 clean sheets is going to give him that confidence. 
Ayling - 10. He has to get 10 for that goal. 
Dallas - 8. Another great performance from Dallas at left back. Strong running 
forward, great link up play and good defence as well. 
Beradi - 9. He looks totally at home in central defence, I think this is his 
position and he will be so unlucky to be dropped if Philips returns for 
Cardiff. 
Cooper - 8. I thought he did well again. 
Hernandez -  5. I thought his passing, as always, was poor, He gave away 
possession many times and things just didn't go for him yesterday. He was still 
lively though. 
Costa - 6. Saw a lot of the ball, made some good runs but ultimately didn't 
deliver when he had chances to cross and shoot. The story of his season. 
Klich - 7. Typical Kilch performance - everywhere. 
Harrison - 8. Great second half performance. 
White - 7. Looked awkward first half but second half played a bit more 
advanced, had a great header saved for the goal and generally grew into his 
position. 
Bamford - 5. I thought he was really poor first half, Lost possession time 
after time and he just continued his poor form from previous games. He finally 
was gifted his goal and he definitely looked more confident from then on 
without really theatening. I thought it was a strange decision to take him off 
having just scored and his confidence high. Maybe he could have bagged another 
one ?
Subs:
Shackleton - got involvedRoberts - looked sharp on the break. 
Top of the league. Surely we can't fuck this up now can we ?

[LU] Town fan ruined on google reviews

[Simon McNally]

Don’t know if any of you have seen this.
This town fan who owns a cafe in hudds posted a picture on social media of the 
price list at his cafe with a note at the bottom saying that to celebrate town 
staying up he was charging Leeds fans 60% extra.
He probably thought he was being clever but unfortunately for him someone found 
his cafe on google, shared the link and now loads of people have been leaving 
negative reviews. As you can probably imagine there is a distinct canine theme 
to them!
Made me laugh anyway!

Re: [LU] Town

[Nick]

It wasn’t so much the fact of the defeat (1-0 to the league leaders, them 
scoring with a decent strike by the best player on the pitch - who of course 
should have been off it by then…) it was the manner. Disorganised, gutless, 
very little apparent plan…plan B…but the simple stuff like passes in to feet; 
defenders getting goal side and staying there; getting a foot/head in where it 
hurts on occasion; Green no more commands his box than any of our previous 5 or 
6 keepers - the flap in the second half that injured him and Bartley was 
laughable; dreadful substitution decisions - Antonsson instead of Wood, simply 
shows someone who doesn’t understand the game they are seeing; dead balls…we 
have at least three 6ft 3 monsters out there plus a good few more around the 
6ft mark…practice dead balls and crossing until they are second nature for the 
whole sodding team…i don’t like relying on that kind of game but it is what we 
are set up for, so do it right.

(sarcasm warning) we are fortunate that once again our resident moron from two 
rows back has decided to renew his ST…it took a full 2 minutes yesterday for 
him to start slagging off our players…the abuse he gave Phillips when another 
free kick failed to get past the first man was appalling (not that it was in 
any way xenophobic or otherwise dodgy, which is a step forward for this numpty) 
…perhaps this is one of the reasons we are so shit at home. Anyone else old 
enough to remember ER described as a fortress…what a long time ago that seems.

I’ve waited a couple of games before saying anything much but it is hard to see 
where any of this is going. Not that sacking Monk will achieve anything…

my esteemed long suffering mate offered the following on about 80 minutes…"we 
have had no one booked for getting in hard or taking one for the team, Town 
have had 4 or 5"…the size of the fight in the dog sometimes makes all the 
difference.

Wood makes you yearn for the work rate of Becchio…an unbelievable sentence to 
type.

Jansson and Bartley are solid in the air and the tackle but lumbering around 
their feet and not the quickest…they will get hammered at some point. I hope 
Berardi gets fit soon because he is the best defender at the club by a mile 
(now that Taylor is sulking).

BTW - relegation 6 pointers do not happen before xmas, people should stop being 
so alarmist.

[LU] Town

[{broken-address} Richard Walker]

Once again, a good days drinking spoilt by 98 minutes of football.All my 
pre-season optimism and support of the Cellino / Monk partnership gonewith one 
dismal match. This was the first time I’ve seen Leeds live due to anill planned 
Summer holiday (watched Luton and QPR on tv) and I was not impressed.


Yes, we were up against the league leaders and on the faceof it matched their 
mediocrity for long periods of the game but there were somany things wrong with 
the tactics and performances it left a sour taste in themouth. After the game, 
some of the players made their away around the pitch to applaudthe home 
support. They were met with boos and abuse. Not from me but I was asdisgusted 
as the abusers. It was all round very poor. 


For me the team selection and tactics were completely wrong. We lost the game 
in midfield. Monk went with Philips and Bridcutt incentral midfield with Mowatt 
on the left wing and Sacko on the right. Thatmidfield is so wrong , yet Monk 
persisted until mid second half when he tookSacko off. Mowatt is not good 
enough at this level. I’ve said it before and hewas totally anonymous in the 
game as he used all his energy and his fat, littlelegs to chase the opposition. 
Even if he was good enough, he will never be aleft winger. 


Philips got picked on the back of his free-kick againstForest and to be fair I 
thought he contributed with bits and bobs and he’sdefinitely a got something to 
offer but at this stage of his career in a match like this he waslacking. 
Bridcutt is a good choice for captain and worked his socks off but hereally was 
a one man midfield today. Sacko started well and skinned the townleft back but 
that was it , he hardly touched the ball until he was subbed. Our only player 
with a bit of pace and skill and we couldn't get the bloody ball to him. 


You can’t win with this midfield and I worry about Monk’sdecision making ? If 
you think back to QPR he had Grimes and Diougara inmidfield, neither of whom 
figured yesterday. He seems to be chopping and changing in the hope something 
will click. 


Even if the midfield had been functioning I have doubtsabout the ‘partnership’ 
up front. Chris Wood is slow and flat footed and whilsthe wins the odd header 
they very rarely lead to anything productive. Antonsson,whilst much livelier, 
was feeding on scraps. He rarely got into the box.


Huddersfield were well organised and passed it around well at times but they 
never really threatened. Rob Green had nothing to do other than pickthe ball 
out of the net and one good save late on as Town tried an ambitiouslob. 

The main reason they won was down to one player -  Mooy their loanee from Man 
City. He was headand shoulders above every player on the pitch and ran the 
show. He picked upthe ball and smacked it in the back of the net – it looked 
saveable to me butit was a good strike. He was the difference between the 2 
teams. Just before he scored I said to my mate that someone needs to either man 
mark him or nobble him. 
Apart from Mooy, I thought Town were very ordinary but it only takes one player 
with a bitextra in this shower of shit league to make a difference. 


We didn’t create a decent chance in 98 minutes, this reallywas awful game and 
I’m in 2 minds about Blackburn on Tuesday. Not surewhat Monk can do about this 
? The pressure is on and it's clear to see. We're in a rut and it's going to 
take some real character to get out of this position. 

Scores:


Green – 4 had nothing to do for most of the game. Looks abit small for me, not 
commanding enough.


Ayling – 4 I think he’s prettyaverage, just a run of the millright back with a 
shit haircut.


Taylor – 5. Did more going forward than anyone on the left 


Bartley – 6. Looked pretty solid.


Jansson – 5. Did his bit to get the Kop going after onegreat tackle. He also 
won a lot of headers and really didn’t do much wrong fora central defensive 
debut but he did look at times like he didn’t really know whathe was doing. 


Philips – 4. His set pieces were awful – why is he takingthem ? I thought he 
contributed well in the first 45 minutes but he fadedbadly. Why Monk persisted 
with him for the full match was mind boggling? Healso has little pace which 
actually applies to most of the team. 


Bridcutt – 6. I thought he worked hard and put some goodchallenges in but he 
was second best against Mooy today. 


Sacko – 2. Just didn’t see any of the ball. Is he really aright winger  ?


Wood – 1. A shocking performance. Has to be dropped. 


Antonsson – 4. Wasn’t effective but at least he chased andcaused a nuisance of 
himself now and again. The crowd was not impressed when hewas replaced by 
Doukara in preference to Wood.


Subs:

Doukara and Roofe had no impact. 


So, does Monk know what he’s doing ? Steve Evans said thatmost of Monk’s 
signings were on his list and Bridcutt was Evan’s player ? 


It’s very worrying.

Re: [LU] Town

[davidwoolmer]

Rich, your talk of 5 year contracts for Bridcutt and Cook is all lovely as an 
ideal, but I don't imagine either of those lads have any interest in signing a 
5 year contract with us in our current ownership / management.

I felt pretty pissed when I heard the team news today. How on earth can you 
think about winning a championship match with a midfield of Dallas, Murphy and 
Mowatt? It's not going to happen. Apparently Cook was rested because he was 
tired after Blackburn, but yet was on the bench, spent most of the game warming 
up and was then asked to come on to rescue the game when we were struggling. 
There's a bloody break coming up, what was Evans thinking of ? 

The tactics were all wrong. Lolley was their best player and gave Taylor a 
torrid time. What he needed was a left midfielder to help him out instead he 
got Mowatt who gave him 
as much assistance as a leg iron. Having a nice left foot is not enough to earn 
your living as a championship footballer. Like Mcphail, who masqueraded as a 
premiership footballer until he was found out and played his football playing 
square balls in the championship, Mowatt might want to consider the conference 
? Mind you, why should he when there's a fat bastard manager that wants to play 
you as a left winger. Mowatt is so lacking when it comes, to pace, drive, 
acceleration and having him in the side just means you need others to do his 
leg work.

After 20 minutes of the first half I was quite happy because Town were over 
playing / passing so badly at times I thought it was going to be another 
Tranmere game when John Barnes insisted his team try and play like Barcelona 
and just couldn't. But they did succeed in taking the sting out of the game ( 
if there was one) and they showed that a patient game can work at this level if 
you have a couple of players up front who have a turn of pace and a bit of 
skill. In Joe Lolley they have one of the best players in the league IMO. 

It was a great move from them that just tore us apart leading to Taylor hacking 
lolly down in the box. Blatant penalty.

Nahki Wells is f&cking shit stepped up and hit a half decent pen which 
Silvestri saved excellently and then got up to catch the rebound. Great save. 

We responded well whilst Town seemed to lose their passing game and began to 
shake. In Bridcutt we have a player that plays in the Leeds way, 100% full 
blooded commitment with a good deal of awareness and skill. He is a poor man's 
Batty but he certainly plays the game in the same way. I'd make him captain and 
give him a 5 year contract alongside Lewis Cook.

We started to pressure them, see more of the ball and push forward and then 
took the lead through a great break ending with Bridcutt teeing it up for 
Dallas to head in unmarked at the back post. Good goal and considering the 
start and the team line up I was moderately impressed.

A few people have said we were in control. I think that's stretching it a bit, 
yes we saw a lot of the ball but let's be honest, apart from the goal we never 
really threatened. I was frustrated to see simple balls played forward over hit 
by 10 yards and not hitting their intended destination. Simple footballing 
skills beyond the likes of Dallas, Mowatt, Murphy, Bamba , Doukara and 
Antennucci. We were never in control of this game.

Town took a while to recover but they gradually got their passing game going 
again and started to push forward. They got a corner and we showed our weakness 
at defending set pieces again ( Taylor maybe ?) - their captain nicked in and 
scored. It was coming and they were well worth 1-1 at half-time.

You also have to take into account they were playing a debutant up front who 
edged the excellent Harry Bunn for a starting position. He was rubbish and got 
taken off at halftime. A manager realising he had made a mistake doing 
something about it. Compare that to fat bastard Evans who waited until 60 
minutes to drag the hapless Luke Murphy off and you realise that Wagner has the 
qualities to take a team forward whilst Evans appears to be lacking.

The second half is without doubt the worst I've seen for many a year. We were 
outclassed and embarrassed by an average Town team that were just highly 
organised and instructed to play simple football. The big lad in the middle 
with the pineapple on his head is an average , one paced player but today 
playing against Mowatt and Murphy he looked like Patrick Viera. He had time on 
the ball, he played short intelligent passes and seemed to be everywhere. He 
eventfully got taken off before he was sent off.

We crumbled and Town took us apart. When Bunn came on I said to my mate 'he's a 
good player this lad' . A few minutes later he volleyed them ahead from yet 
another, poorly defended set 

Re: [LU] Town

[Dr Michael Benjamin]

This has been the story of LUFC ever since that raving lunatic arrived. The
minute there is a semblance of order then he ruins it. Why, after three
wins he had to leak a story about another manager, or after it was leaked,
say nothing is pure Cellino. Whenever and wherever he can undermine his
manager he will.
I am pretty certain he interfered with the selection. Fatty Arbuckle had
said clearly that the winger who is a genius and idiot savant was about to
play. He didn't make the bench. There can only be one reason for that. The
Blancmange is not a raving fool- there is only one explanation - Cellino.
At least, Mussolini got the trains running.  Our version derails them.

It's been like this all season. A few reasonable results have only papered over 
the cracks. Thought bamba and Mowatt were both shocking

Re: [LU] Town

[nat...@sky.com]

been ill latter part of the week and only went today on the proviso (from my 
wife) that I did not drink pre match !! Well that was 2 great decisions, 
getting out of my sickbed to watch that and doing it sober (if not drug free, 
thank f8ck for morphine)As Nick says if this game had ended after 40mins 
instead of 90, things would be totally different. I did not agree with the team 
line up but for 40mins it worked and it also looked as if we had a decent 
bench, with players (Carayol apart maybe) who could all have expected to start, 
and this in turn would put the players who were picked under pressure to 
perform for their place.The ground was pretty full (29+K) and it was reasonably 
lively with the dog bothering fans making a decent noise in 'their' cup final 
(we do not care about them at all - that is why the crowd was so big of course) 
- 3 wins and a decent pricing initiative bringing fans back. It started like a 
real derby with lots of tackles and a good bit of niggle. We looked to be 
getting slighlty on top when one of theirs skipped past Taylor (?) and was 
tripped in the box, Definite penalty. But Silvestri pulled off a great save and 
caught the rebound, top class keeping. We then got a stronghold in the game 
with Bridcutt here there and everywhere, pulling the strings. For once we 
looked like this match cared to us as much as them - so often in derbies we 
have been found wanting in this regard. Ante and Doukara were buzzing round 
their centre backs giving them no time to settle and things were going well. 
Bridcutt then nipped into a tackle took the ball and put over a pin point 
cross. Dallas timed his run well and headed home - a great ,well worked goal, 
Dallas then(second player in a week for us) got booked for jumping into the 
crowd, but he was just one of many bookings that half. We continued to control 
the game for 15mins or so  attacking with intent but failing to make any clear 
cut chances. 
Then they got a corner and this once again proved our Achilles heel and 
suddenly it was 1 1. We never really recovered, We spent the last few minutes 
of the half on the back foot and never got it backSecond half, the less said 
the better - we never really started and all our old faults came back. Mowatt 
made a total hash of it and gave a suicidal back pass to Silvestri who sliced 
it out for  a corner. We failed to clear and that was it 1 2. Our heads dropped 
and within 6 or 7 minutes they carved us apart twice more to double their 
score. 77minutes gone - 1 4 down and the crowd had had enough, literally 
thousands left at that point and the trickle out continued for the rest of the 
game. Silvestri had to pull off two good saves, one with his feet to stop the 
score being even more embarrassing, The only good thing in the second half was 
the timekeeper only putting 3 minutes on the board despite 6 subs, 3 goals and 
subsequent celebration, 2 'injuries' to their keeper and another player and a 
number of arguments with the ref (We expected / feared 5 or 6 mins)
So it proves , what we all thought, the three victories on the bounce were just 
a blip and not a genuine change in fortunes and the start of something good.
Where do we go from here ? No idea - given the result there was not much anti 
Cellino chanting, so the group doing all the hi vis demos do seem in a 
minority, but it is hard to see how we will or can progress under his 
ownership. Is Evans the man? Who knows, he has done some good things and the 
players he brought in Bridcutt (MoM today again) and Diagoura both look like 
decent buys (Carayol a spur purchase, less so) - but can we afford , either 
financially or as a business model to sack him ?
So a day that began with optimism, which lasted 41 minutes, has ended totally 
and utterly downbeat and disheartened.
On the bright side I can take some more morphine in 10 minutes !

So, in control for 40 minutes, great double save from a penalty by Silvestri, 
good goal by Dallas heading home a far post cross by Bridcutt; Bridcutt was in 
charge in the first half...then slack marking at a corner, free header and 
they're back in the game.

After that we gave up, barely made a chance, they ran through our midfield with 
speed and purpose, the back 4 were nowhere...total fucking shambles. 
Disgraceful capitulation.

[LU] Town

[Richard Walker]

I felt pretty pissed when I heard the team news today. How on earth can you 
think about winning a championship match with a midfield of Dallas, Murphy and 
Mowatt? It's not going to happen. Apparently Cook was rested because he was 
tired after Blackburn, but yet was on the bench, spent most of the game warming 
up and was then asked to come on to rescue the game when we were struggling. 
There's a bloody break coming up, what was Evans thinking of ? 

The tactics were all wrong. Lolley was their best player and gave Taylor a 
torrid time. What he needed was a left midfielder to help him out instead he 
got Mowatt who gave him 
as much assistance as a leg iron. Having a nice left foot is not enough to earn 
your living as a championship footballer. Like Mcphail, who masqueraded as a 
premiership footballer until he was found out and played his football playing 
square balls in the championship, Mowatt might want to consider the conference 
? Mind you, why should he when there's a fat bastard manager that wants to play 
you as a left winger. Mowatt is so lacking when it comes, to pace, drive, 
acceleration and having him in the side just means you need others to do his 
leg work.

After 20 minutes of the first half I was quite happy because Town were over 
playing / passing so badly at times I thought it was going to be another 
Tranmere game when John Barnes insisted his team try and play like Barcelona 
and just couldn't. But they did succeed in taking the sting out of the game ( 
if there was one) and they showed that a patient game can work at this level if 
you have a couple of players up front who have a turn of pace and a bit of 
skill. In Joe Lolley they have one of the best players in the league IMO. 

It was a great move from them that just tore us apart leading to Taylor hacking 
lolly down in the box. Blatant penalty.

Nahki Wells is f&cking shit stepped up and hit a half decent pen which 
Silvestri saved excellently and then got up to catch the rebound. Great save. 

We responded well whilst Town seemed to lose their passing game and began to 
shake. In Bridcutt we have a player that plays in the Leeds way, 100% full 
blooded commitment with a good deal of awareness and skill. He is a poor man's 
Batty but he certainly plays the game in the same way. I'd make him captain and 
give him a 5 year contract alongside Lewis Cook.

We started to pressure them, see more of the ball and push forward and then 
took the lead through a great break ending with Bridcutt teeing it up for 
Dallas to head in unmarked at the back post. Good goal and considering the 
start and the team line up I was moderately impressed.

A few people have said we were in control. I think that's stretching it a bit, 
yes we saw a lot of the ball but let's be honest, apart from the goal we never 
really threatened. I was frustrated to see simple balls played forward over hit 
by 10 yards and not hitting their intended destination. Simple footballing 
skills beyond the likes of Dallas, Mowatt, Murphy, Bamba , Doukara and 
Antennucci. We were never in control of this game.

Town took a while to recover but they gradually got their passing game going 
again and started to push forward. They got a corner and we showed our weakness 
at defending set pieces again ( Taylor maybe ?) - their captain nicked in and 
scored. It was coming and they were well worth 1-1 at half-time.

You also have to take into account they were playing a debutant up front who 
edged the excellent Harry Bunn for a starting position. He was rubbish and got 
taken off at halftime. A manager realising he had made a mistake doing 
something about it. Compare that to fat bastard Evans who waited until 60 
minutes to drag the hapless Luke Murphy off and you realise that Wagner has the 
qualities to take a team forward whilst Evans appears to be lacking.

The second half is without doubt the worst I've seen for many a year. We were 
outclassed and embarrassed by an average Town team that were just highly 
organised and instructed to play simple football. The big lad in the middle 
with the pineapple on his head is an average , one paced player but today 
playing against Mowatt and Murphy he looked like Patrick Viera. He had time on 
the ball, he played short intelligent passes and seemed to be everywhere. He 
eventfully got taken off before he was sent off.

We crumbled and Town took us apart. When Bunn came on I said to my mate 'he's a 
good player this lad' . A few minutes later he volleyed them ahead from yet 
another, poorly defended  set piece which came from an half arsed , back pass 
from Mowatt that put his keeper under pressure. Individual mistakes all over 
the park. 

We then surrendered ( apart from Bridcutt) and Town gave us a masterclass. They 
could have had 6 and to top it off Nahki Wells is fucking shit made one and 
scored one. He's got 16 goals this season apparently, he's not shit and he is 
twice the player of all the strikers we have at the club

Brilliant pen save from silvestri but should have claimed ball for first hud 
goal. 
Thought they looked there for the taking after we scored but we didn't 
capitalise and let them back in game. 
Second half was awful. Wagner made some good changes and we didn't react.
I thought we gave up after second goal and last part of game was just 
embarrassing. I can take us losing (just) but not going down without a fight.

Re: [LU] Town

He didn't directly say he wanted it but he also didn't say he didn't want itand 
he said 'I want to manage at some point' and 'I know I can make a difference' 
and 'I'll do whatever the boss wants , I'm very pro Leeds'

He also said he hadn't does his rep any harm when asked if there may be other 
clubs looking at him.

I think he wants it and wants it desperately. He's got something here . Why 
give it to someone else ?

Thanks very much for the match report Rich. 

As I don't get to many games living in the depths of Gloucestershire, I really 
look forward to reading match reports from members of the list, so much better 
than reading the newspapers, so thank you all of you for taking the time 
writing and posting, it really is appreciated and please keep it up.

Love this list!

Missed Warnock out of my scores 

He deserved a 9 ,he was the best defender in the first half and was good going

[Simon McNally]

Can't add much to that. Thought it was the best we've played for ages. 
I would have antenucci man of the match. His work rate is incredible, he has a 
great first touch and rarely gives the ball away. Austin's goal came from him 
closing down their left back.
I know what you're saying about bellusci but I love watching him play. He is a 
real leader on the pitch and that chip was sublime. Can't wait to see what he 
does next!
Bianchi hit a volleyed pass with the outside of his right foot towards the end 
of the game that was unbelievable. He can definitely play, hopefully he'll keep 
improving.

[LU] Town

[Richard Walker]

Two great results in a week in two very different games. As expected Town came 
for a draw and I think they frustrated us in what was a pretty turgid first 
half. I've got to be honest, at the time I was frustrated and bored by our 
play. Forward, forward, fucking forward I shouted but we just seemed content at 
times to play square and backward balls. Most things were coming through 
Bianchi and I was doing my nut with him because he was strolling around like 
Glen Hoddle but just playing 5 years back passes every time he got the ball.

Then came the goal which completely changed the game. We broke down our right 
and their defender really should have put it in Row Z instead he tried to be 
clever and we ended up getting a very fortunate ricochet which gave the ball to 
Rudy in their area. He still had loads to do and he made room for the shot and 
fired it home. You have to ask questions about Smithies and it looked to me 
like he ducked out of the way of the ball. Poor keeping but what a shot from 
Rudy. I think I would have ducked that one.

Town were then forced to try and play a bit and they did cause us a few 
problems but their final ball was as bad as ours was a few games back and 
playing Wells on his own up front was a tactical disaster. I don't think 
Bellusci or Pearce have had an easier target to mark in their careers.  Wells 
is definitely not 'fucking shit' as the Leeds fans sang but he cannot lead a 
line on his own and needs someone to do the donkey work so he can feed off 
them. 

As Town started to play , so did we, and there was some good link up play 
mainly down our right with Rudy, Sloth and Antenucci who is growing in 
confidence with every minute he plays. 

With a minute of first half injury time to go we broke with pace ( a real 
feature of our play today). Strange that it was Bellusci and Antenucci 
breaking. Bellusci showed that he is a better player than defender by sublimely 
drawing and chipping the keeper. He deserved a goal but it hit the bar and came 
back kindly to Antenucci who did well to get over the bouncing ball and put it 
in the back of the net , via the bar again I think. Game over.

The second half was just fantastic and the best 45 minutes I've had at ER for a 
while. Good atmosphere and a great team display from Leeds. I think all the 
players did their bit, there was no stand out player, it really was a full team 
performance. Our passes were meaningful and progressive including Bianchi who 
really grew into the game and actually did look like Glenn Hoddle at times in 
the second half.

It's been a long time since we can say we have had real pace and work rate up 
front. McCormack, Smith, Becchio all scored goals but none had any pace. With 
this team Town didn't know which way to look, we were coming at them from all 
directions. 

Antenucci was everywhere, Rudy was playing as a 3rd striker, Bianchi was 
pushing balls left, right and centre, Warnock was charging down the left, Sloth 
down the right and at times, Cook had a go too. Everyone in that team has a bit 
of pace, good control and great commitment. There's something special happening 
here I feel and I think they will get better.

The 3rd was all about Doukara who was pretty quiet in the first half. He seemed 
to be playing slightly left which I didn't think suited him. He doesn't win 
much in the air for a big lad and looks a little pedestrian at times but when 
he gets the ball he is very direct. He got the ball cut into his right foot and 
smashed it in the bottom right. A great goal and then he got himself booked by 
taking his shirt off. That's 2 bookings this season for that. Brainless. 

Town came forward and in young Bunn on their left they finally had someone who 
could unlock the Leeds defence. He had the beating of Beradi at will and 
because Beradi was on a yellow from a ridiculous red card tackle in the first 
half it was only a matter of time. Redders told Byram to warm up but he was 
indecisive and Beradi did what Beradi does and hacked Bunn down and gave the 
ref no choice. Shit defending and shit management , the only criticism I could 
level at Redfearn in his 4 games.

Down to 10 men only emphasised what great team spirit this team has and if 
anything we were more dominant with 10 men than with 11 and really should have 
gone four ahead when the excellent Antenucci took the ball, ran with it as he 
does, got himself one on one, and placed the ball past Smithies into the net, 
except Smithies got his fingertips to it and pushed it onto the post. A very 
good save from a very average keeper.

In the last 10 minutes we completely controlled the game with 10 men. Byram 
showed how to defend against Bunn and we just continued to push forward with 
Rudy running the show. Bianchi also showed some really good vision with his 
passes. Town did have one or two moments but we defended well and were well 
worth the 3-0 victory.

I really would give the job to Redders.  In his post match inte

Thanks for the report Richard. As a supporter living outside the UK, I crave 
and enjoy all the reports that put on the list by any who attend the games. It 
is enjoyable to read the differing views and opinions off those at the game 
about the quality of the game and the effort and performance of individual 
players.

Football is after all a simple game made complicated by all those involved. 

To all those who post match reports, please keep it up.

This really was a game of two halves and I think that was
mainly down to the conditions with the wind blowing strong towards the Kop.
Although we ran out comfortable winners this really could have gone either way
but Huddersfield with their powder puff attack squandered chance after chance
in a first half they dominated and we really struggled to compete. 
I arrived at the ground to see around 200 fans stood outside
the East stand singing “You don’t know what you are doing”. It was a piss poor 
effort
to be honest but I think Leeds fans have had it all over the last few years and
this is just one more disappointment to take. Once in the ground though it was
clear that the atmosphere was more charged and the fans really got behind the
team. The rendition of MOT was sang as loud as I’ve heard it for many a year.
Not much negative chanting and lots of support for BMD. 
Unfortunately the team couldn’t respond to the fans and Town
took control with simple but effective football. There was an early sign of
things to come though as Kebe combined brilliantly with Macca in a run that
went the length of the pitch. Good pace and control and was the start of an
excellent game for the gangly winger. 
We were playing a 4-3-3 with Murphy, Mowatt and Austin
playing centrally. Surprisingly Austin seemed to be playing more advanced that
the other 2 and spent a lot of time going for balls in advanced positions. 
Our defence were shocking in the first half, time after time
Town found space down their left , our right. When we going to realise the
Byram isn’t a right back. He wasn’t covering right and was exposed time after
time. He actually provided the 2 best challenges of the half saving a couple of
certain goals showing that he can tackle and can defend but I don’t think he 
naturally
knows how to defend as a right back. He has to play in midfield and you only
have to look at his attacking play in the second half to realise that this guy
has far too much talent to be wasted at right back. 
The Town goal came from one such attack down our right. We
stood off, gave Ward the freedom of the park and he took his time and drilled
it into the bottom far corner. It’s hard to say whether Kenny was at fault but
he was easily beaten. It was a deserved lead and they threatened to increase
it. 
Again, we stood off at were all at sea as the Town
midfielder hit it for outside the box. He was unlucky as the ball hit the post
and rebounded to a white shirt. Then it was corner after corner and the wind
seemed to be sucking the ball into the net directly from the corner with Kenny
flapping all over the place. 
Then Naki Wells managed to break through whilst Tom Lees was
taking a nap on the half way line. He could have taken it past Kenny but
decided to go for an elaborate chip and ended up looking a c*nt for what was a
really poor effort. 
There were other chances and I was thinking that the
decision to relieve BMD of his job was actually very wise. We were well short
of what was required. 
At the other end we did create one or two chances. Cameron
Stewart has the best chance but he passed it wide and Mowatt and Macca combined
well to break into the box but it came to nothing. 
There were some really performances from Leeds but probably
the worse came through Warnock who just looked short in every way. His passing
was atrocious , he just kept playing these ridiculous long balls. The fact that
Warnock ended up looking like Roberto Carlos with his rampaging runs just
emphasises the difference between the 2 halves. 
The Town fans rubbed it in with “Leeds are falling apart
again” and “Ross McCormack , he doesn’t want to play”.
It was crucial we grabbed something in the half and we did.
From a free-kick the ball came over. Kebe managed to make a nuisance of himself
and knock the defender off balance making the ball go loose. That’s all Macca
needed to pounce and poke the ball past the hapless Smithies (he really is a
shit keeper).  Queue pandemonium in the
stands and Ross milked the goal in front of the stunned Town fans by kissing
the badge. 1-1 and to be honest it was daylight robbery. 
So on to the second half with Leeds having the wind but

This really was a game of two halves and I think that was
mainly down to the conditions with the wind blowing strong towards the Kop.
Although we ran out comfortable winners this really could have gone either way
but Huddersfield with their powder puff attack squandered chance after chance
in a first half they dominated and we really struggled to compete. 
I arrived at the ground to see around 200 fans stood outside
the East stand singing “You don’t know what you are doing”. It was a piss poor 
effort
to be honest but I think Leeds fans have had it all over the last few years and

Not much negative chanting and lots of support for BMD. 
Unfortunately the team couldn’t respond to the fans and Town
took control with simple but effective football. There was an early sign of
things to come though as Kebe combined brilliantly with Macca in a run that
went the length of the pitch. Good pace and control and was the start of an
excellent game for the gangly winger. 
We were playing a 4-3-3 with Murphy, Mowatt and Austin
playing centrally. Surprisingly Austin seemed to be playing more advanced that
the other 2 and spent a lot of time going for balls in advanced positions. 
Our defence were shocking in the first half, time after time
Town found space down their left , our right. When we going to realise the

have to look at his attacking play in the second half to realise that this guy

You should have been in the pub after the game. Never seen so much misery. 

Yes , unbelievably this is probably the only time ever that I would agree that 
we would have actually benefited from Becchio being in the team. Haribo was 
that bad.  Still don't think we would have gone anything from the game though.

[LU] Town

[Richard Walker]

It was a thoroughly miserable day at Elland Road yesterday. Let’s get the 
excuses out of the way first and admittedly they are pretty goo excuses. Two of 
the players that offer around 90% of our attacking threat were out injured. In 
Morison’s case this is really unlucky after he had found his goalscoring boots 
at Palace. You can’t plan for bad luck like that. What is wrong with him ? Have 
we bought a crock ? Wouldn’t surprise me. 

You then replace our goalscoring threat with a bloke who had yet to start a 
game in English football.  If you Google for Habibou (no idea what he is called 
and am not that interested to be honest) you apparently see that he once caught 
a duck. Well, f@ck me, I’m going to try and find that clip because I don’t 
believe this guy could ever have the dexterity to catch a duck. It was like 
playing with Becchio except he never got in the box and just got in the way of 
his team mates. He was bloody awful but it was no surprise really to any of us 
who saw his appearance as sub recently. Sometimes you have to give players time 
to settle in however in some cases you can see that they are clearly completely 
out of their depth. 

So that’s where the excuses stop for me because any manager who 

1. Signs a player of this quality 
2. Actually feels they can lead the line in a Yorkshire Derby like this

deserves to be sacked for this decision alone. Its an incredible display of 
inept management and one which begged the question later in the pub: “Is Neil 
Warnock taking the piss out of Leeds ?” . Not my opinion but sometimes you have 
to think. 

I think Haribo should have his documents and history checked. I think this 
could be one of those cases where we find out he’s actually a duck farmer from 
Antwerp. He’s certainly no footballer.

He was 1 of 11 players out there though. Again, the excuses are that if you’ve 
nothing up front it just keeps coming back and that puts pressure on players 
and as a result they do not perform. Yes I can accept that but what I can’t 
accept is players who find it incredibly to pass a 5 yard ball to a team mate. 
Paul Green must have given the ball away 10 times when not under pressure 
yesterday ? Had he been on the piss the night before ? Was he trying too hard ? 

Michael Tonge should be pensioned off now. He plays like a pensioner and all 
from a player who has played in the premier league. £200k !!?? I wouldn’t have 
paid £2 - he’s a sunday stroller. 

I’m not going to describe the game - Dave did that well enough. Yes we did 
start brightly and Varney’s leap for a header was unlucky as it hit the under 
side of the bar ? Who was following up on the rebound though ? Haribo was busy 
preparing is orange sauce. The only way we were going to score was from a set 
piece. 

So what about Huddersfield ? In every way they were an average team. Their fans 
sang “How shit must you be, we’re winning away?. But what they did have was a 
bit of pace, movement and willing up front. This was too much for us. It turned 
our so called recent solid defence into a set of quivering idiots. Lee Peltier 
turned in a woeful performance - he’s our bloody captain, another incredibly 
inept decision from Warnock. Not only is he no way captain material , he cant 
defend and he should be dispensed of immediately. Hes not a right back , left 
back or central defender. Let’s get someone in to play with Lees because 
Peltier will end up ruining the lad. 

It was simple, intelligent movement and runs that we couldn’t handle.

I’d put this down as the worse performance this season and that is really 
bloody saying something. It got really desperate second half when we just 
lumped it forward hoping something would come off. It did in the case of 
White’s goal but that way of playing football will get you nowhere. Colin will 
obviously point to the lack of attackers but he bought Haribo and Ryan Hall and 
neither are remotely good enough. 

Scores:

Kenny - 6. Not sure he could do much with the goals, he did make a couple of 
good saves but there’s something about him I don’t like and I don’t feel 
confident with him when we’re under pressure and are defending balls into the 
box. 

Byram - 5. Did ok, but he’s not a right back and I’d like to see him given a 
chance in central midfield now we’ve got little to play for. Having said that 
if he gets into the box and shows the type of composure we saw yesterday he’ll 
end up back in the under 18s. 

Warnock - 4. I though he really struggled yesterday against a bit of pace. 
Looked knackered. 

Peltier - 2. He had a shocker. Second to the ball all day. 

Lees - 5. Defended well but when you’re partner is having a bad day it drags 
you down also.   

Austin - 6. Fair play to Austin, at least he got stuck in and had a go and was 
unlucky not to score. With effort like that from everyone I don’t think we 
would have lost this game. 

Tonge - 1. Who the f@ck does he think he is ? Eniesta ? Strolling around the 
par
