I don't think we will bottle it as such, I have two concerns; 1. The other side, whoever they are, play a blinder. Whilst I don't think we will bottle it, I don't think we will play a blinder - we will be steady throughout.
2. I always get the feeling our players never 'seize the day'. This goes back as long as I remember. In other words when it comes to 2 legged affairs we almost seem to settle for a result in the 1st leg we wouldn't otherwise do, thinking we can more easily win the second leg, which is always possible if not probable, but we never seem to do it. I am therefore torn as to where I want us to play the first leg.. I would normally say away because in theory we could turn round a 2-0 deficit at home. However we often have a better chance of winning away, because the other side attacks, so I definitely don't want a first away leg where we settle for holding them to a draw or defeat by 1 goal, and leave it to the home leg. On the other hand if we played at home first leg there is every chance whoever we played will try and keep it tight, and we all know we have problems with sides who do that. What we need to do is therefore play away first leg and go for the win, then when we play at home at least the other side has to attack us. However I just know if we played away first and we concede an early goal we would settle for 0-1. > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Emmott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 20 April 2006 10:51 > To: Mark Humphries; 'thecasses'; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LU] Whats that you said? > > > Unbeaten against the top 2 sides, decent possession vs top 2 sides, > goals > > from open play, looking solid at the back, chances created - decent > > midfield > > performance, coupled with a dip in form for Watford and CPal, plus > Preston > > have had no reason to get jitters at all - overall I'm feeling > dangerously > > optimistic about the playoffs. > > > Me too!! > The only thing is the way we bottled it when it looked as though we were > in > with a chance of automatic promotion makes me worry we'll bottle it again. > > _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
