Luckily I was out last night so did not have to suffer listening to it on the radio, but everything I have seen and read makes it seem as if we were very poor. I am not sure if Monk is now struggling to work out his best team or if he just (over) re-acted to the Reading defeat and dropped all those who were poor - we all agreed Cooper, Veirra and Sacko were pretty awful, most thought the same about Pedraza and Taylor was at fault for the goal. Whatever it was a bad result and performance last night
Having said that , when I was swimming today, I though back to the 3 'successes' LUFC have had in my watching lifetime and all 3 had a game when I thought we had blown it The 89 promotion season - last home game, a night game v Barnsley - us unbeaten at home, them not a single away victory all season - a nailed on 3 points and almost certain promotion. I remember them turning to religion and bringing on Archdeacon and Bishop who both scored and suddenly our title was hanging by a thread. Then BOOM ! Bournemouth and promotion The League title -a trip to Maine Road, Man City not scored for 3 or 4 games, us flying, beaten there 4 1 the previous year 'well it cannot be as bad as last year' we all said, and '3 pts and the title is coming our way" - 90mins and 4 goals later it was all 'Man City have handed the title to their red rivals' - all doom and gloom. The BOOM! Sheff Utd and the title Then the promotion from the 3rd Division - at home to Bristol Rovers - needing to win to avoid the playoffs (and almost certain defeat in them) - Max sent off and 0 0 at half time. "we can still do it as long as we do not go behind" was mine and most peoples thoughts. A few minutes later there it was 0 1 and us in big trouble - we all thought we had blown it. Then BOOM ! Johnny Howson (the answer to our prayers- as i sarcastically said at the time) and Beckford and promotion So fear not fellow listers - Reading and Brentford was the big scare - the Barnsley , the Man City, the Bristol goal and Saturday v Preston will be the BOOM ! and Wood's hat trick will sort it all out* Dave* disclaimer - this is after a load of morphine to get me through my exercises and can in no way be treated as FACT ! _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
