On paper a great result (which it is) but that only tells half the taleIn a way the most important fact is that with both full backs and a young winger out tomorrow (Ayling, Douglas and Harrison) none of Shackleton, Pearce nor Clarke played (so all in the squad / team at Blackburn?) We began terribly - we were very sluggish and could not string two passes together, none of the flowing football of the first team or the u23s the last time I watched them on LUTV We went 1 down and then it could have been 3 or 4 as they missed two decent chances and blasted a penalty well over the bar
After a rocky start we grew into the game and by the end were totally dominant (Ayling had a header cleared off the line that should have made it 5) Edmondson will get the headlines with his hat-trick (they will gloss over the sitter he missed and the other two half chances) He certainly has an eye for goal and with his size and strength he will make it as a footballer - not sure at what level Dalby got the other goal but the stand out player was our no10 McAlmont and then Jordan Stevens who showed brilliant skills to lay on one of the goals. I also liked Gotts (again) and was mainly impressed with Odour who came on as sub (75% of what he did was great, a good touch, good control and strength but was marred by some (25%) wayward stuff Overall though a 4 1 win away from home with 3 of the better players missing is a good result and we do seem to have a good crop of youngsters coming through Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
