Interesting thoughts and probably emphasises what we have become and what us fans have grown to expect as the norm. Interesting also about Murphy - I was being kind to him. He is looking better but that's only against some very woeful performances earlier on. So you can see that the expectation level is so low at the moment. He managed to control a couple of balls and pass a few 5 yard passes. That gets you a 6 these days. I like the Macca v Carl Shutt comparison. I don't think Macca is as good.

Wise words. *East Stand seemed pretty full (a good thing), but has zero atmosphere - one 50% bellow of Come On Leeds from me made the family in front jump! Put me off trying again! *Defence - thought Lees had a solid game, and in fact rest of defence did enough/were ok. The Lithuanian who came on looked OK too, although needs to sort out his rushing in tendency. Jockey for position my boy. *Midfield - Murphy - after giving him some positive comments before Yeovil, he looked sh*te to me, and spent half the game on his arse! I wanted him to be good, but... Austin - positive drives forward resulted in 2 goals and some awful shots. Can't Murphy do that?? *Up front - Smith - despite watching every hoofed ball like a hawk, moving to meet it, he always seemed to be 2 feet away from where he needed to be - is there something wrong with his eye-sight? His comedy gold moment in front of goal was genius. Taking him off seemed a very fair decision, albeit 35 minutes too late. McCormack - like a poor man's Carl Shutt, but good goals and link-up with Austin Tactics - if this was football that wasn't route 1, what does route 1 look like?? Kind of enjoyed the experience though, and my lad Danny (9) saw them win on his first game there, so we'll be back again this season. Good to see DRB, Wiggy, Sarge, Niggy, Dave D and co in the Cross Keys. Could have done without the bloody thunderstorm and cloudburst on the walk back! Quite what happened to the Elland Rd I knew and loved I don't know? Given the League position it's easy to see how we could make the play-offs - Yeovil were rubbish but pressed very hard. Maybe the bulk of the Championship is rubbish if we're 8th best??? _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
